AlmaWin Cleanut Laundry Detergent

Cleanutsisg_2 AlmaWin Cleanut is a natural concentrated laundry detergent from Germany.  The detergent's main ingredient is the soap nut.  Soap nuts have been used as a natural and healthy cleaning agent in India for over 3,000 years. 

Cleanut is based on soap nut extracts and blended with other ingredients in order to increase the washing power of those extracts.  The Cleanut laundry detergent fits in well with our recent focus on the growing trend in the US where many laundry detergent brands are offering concentrated versions of their products.

We found Cleanut to be a highly effective laundry detergent.  As we normally do the product was tested using a cold water wash cycle - which conserves significant amounts of energy.  Cleanut performed well in our tests leaving clothing and towels soft and clean.   

AlmaWin Cleanut exceeds the Belgian Ecogarantie standards. This independent label indicates that the production process and the Cleanut ingredients comply with the worldwide highest standards of sustainability and ecological responsibility.

Compared to American concentrated laundry detergents, Cleanut comes in a small 25.3 fl oz bottle and handles 25 loads of laundry.  For comparison purposes Unilever's All Small & Mighty standard bottle is 32 fl oz and handles 32 loads of laundry according to the company. 

Cleanut's packaging is a custom #2 HDPE bottle made by Rixius in Germany.

Cleanut laundry detergent is available in the US through Amazon.comin a case (6 bottles) or a package of two bottles.
