TIP to Store Soapnuts:Soap nuts absorb moisture very easily.
They become dark & sticky in a very short period of time if left
exposed to air. Ideally the nuts should be packed in an airtight
container or a plastic bag tied tight with a rubber band. However,
sticky soap nuts do not mean that they have gone bad. They will
still wash & clean perfectly. Soap nut powder, however, if not
stored perfectly in air tight conditions, will become lumpy very
easily. Once in lump form, the powder is difficult to use, even
though it still retains all its original washing properties. |
