Chestnut and Marshmallow 2-in-1 Laundry Granules

As a company one of our proudest achievements has been to create our chestnut and marshmallow 2-in-1 laundry product. We started with Chestnuts gathered by smallholders and agricultural labourers from the Waveney Valley the river border between Norfolk and Suffolk. After two years trying to find a practical milling process, we finally hit upon a solution and were able to make our finished product. 

The main part of the laundry product are the wild gathered chestnuts which are a natural and biodegradable 'tree-based' detergent. We have combined this with marshmallow root, because the mucilageous gel in the marshmallow, also helps to lift dirt away from fabrics to give the 2-in-1, dual cleaning power. Most of all, the marshmallow imparts a wonderful softness to the textiles and a light natural marshmallow fragrance.

How to use Chestnut and Marshmallow 2-in-1

The granules can be used in a washing machine, but they will always need containing in a sock. A normal drawstring bag isn't suitable. We use an odd long sock to contain the granules.

How to get the granules in the sock

Put your hand on the foot of the sock.
Grab 2 tablespoons of Chestnut and Marshmallow 2-in-1
Pull the knee end of the sock away from you and hey presto, the granules will be safely contained in the toe of the sock.
Now double knot the knee of the sock.

How to Use the Chestnut and Marshmallow 2-in-1

Placed the knotted sock in the base of the washing machine drum.
Add the clothing.
Add your laundry whitener if you are using it (see next section)
Select your normal wash program.

The 'wash sock' can be used for multiple wash loads. Either use the wash sock contiguously, or hang the sock to dry with the laundry ready for next time.

 

How Can You Tell When the Wash Sock is Exhausted?

After each wash, smell the sock. If it still has a chestnut-marshmallow aroma, it can be reused. If the wash sock is dried with the laundry, you can still assess it in the dry state. If it still has a marshmallow aroma when dry, it still has more washing and conditioning power. Carry on using it. I tend to get four washes per 2 tablespoon dose.

Blue Indigo as Laundry Whitener / Optical Brightener

For the ultimate clothes wash, use our natural blue indigo as a bluing agent, to make the whites look whiter and the dark colours darker. Using indigo leaves an anti-microbial film on clothing and bedding, helping clothing and bedding to stay fresher for longer.

Our indigo is made from the leaves of the indigo plant. By fermenting it using traditional processes on goat and camel urine, it gives a chemical free, pure, odourless blue powder which is safe for continuous dermal contact.

How to Prepare the Blue Indigo Laundry Whitener

Add 5g of blue indigo to 5 litres of water - an old vinegar container is idea. You can also work on a smaller scale, with 1g of blue indigo to 1 litre of water. The indigo keeps well and you do not need to add preservatives. Put the lid on the container and shale well.

Indigo doesn't actually dissolve in water, so you will need to remember to shake your indigo canister before each use so that the indigo is distributed in the solution.

How to Use The Blue Indigo Laundry Whitener

Remember, the Chestnut 2-in-1 already contains marshmallow root as a conditioning agent, and so the conditioner tray in the washing machine will be empty ... Add the indigo solution to the conditioner tray of your washing machine (often the middle compartment). Start by adding enough to reach the fill marker - about 100ml and adjust from there. 

Large beech Wood Pegs

Produced in Germany from FSC certified beechwood, our pegs are slightly larger than most wooden pegs with heavy duty galvanised steel springs. 

Their strong springs, help to secure heavy and tick items such as thick socks, towels and sheets, even in windy conditions.

To keep the pegs looking their best, please don't leave them out in the rain.

Why Switch to Plant Based Laundry Products?

Most conventional laundry products and fabric conditioners contain a cocktail of chemicals which cause untold environmental harm especially to our rivers. Often containing ingredients made from petro-chemicals, bleaches, dyes, forever-chemicals such as stilbenes (which don't break down and cause harm to all types of living organisms). Conventional detergents are high in phosphates and they cause algal blooms on rivers, suffocating the life within. 

When people use these chemical detergents in their homes, they create a toxic atmosphere of poisonous neurotoxin fragrances. These can have immediate health effects with respiratory problems such as asthma and allergies and over time contribute to chronic disease. 

Conventional detergents and conditioners, leave a residue of volatile chemicals on the clothing. Most of us are in contact with clothing and bedding almost every hour of the day and these chemicals are entering our skin and circulation. Now more people have developed skin issues such as eczema, dermatitis, dry skin conditions etc, and it is far safer to use simple natural products.

What really sets off my alarm bells is that the manufacturers of artificial detergents and fabric conditioners don't tell you what ingredients they use. I am sure they wouldn't want you to google the ingredients and found out just how dangerous and polluting they are. 

I have more issues with the chemical detergent industry which produce so much plastic waste. Let us stop giving these polluters our support!

Summary

So you will see, the three laundry products in our natural laundry kit, are all plant based from sustainable sources. Used together, every wash day can be a celebration of the wonders of nature and we can know that the products are as safe to the natural environment as they are to ourselves.

Loved them so much- Bought another pair
To start off, I have wide feet, ankles, and calves, because i'm a bit on the heavier side. Finding shoes that fit these requirements are difficult. The top part of the shoes that hug my legs are actually still a little roomy. Someone who has slightly larger lower legs can fit into these as well. If you have tiny legs, these shoes may be a little too loose, or if you don't have wide feet. These shoes are literally perfect for my feet and legs. The back unzips so I was able to get my feet into the shoes easily, and even wearing them I didn't feel like my toes were being squished. I ordered a size 10, and it is perfect length and width for my wide feet. Do note: My feet are wide enough to not fit in most shoes, but not too wide, you should pay attention to the measurements if you have wide feet. I was a little skeptical from a review of a woman who had her toes bleeding from these shoes, as I know that is often a problem for me with most shoes I wear. Generally I start bleeding in the back of my heel. So I was skeptical that these shoes would make me bleed. However, I was proven wrong. These are one of the only shoes i've worn that haven't rubbed my skin right off. I believe that has to do with the lovely height of the back, which prevents rubbing on the back of your heels, and the perfect width of the shoes. If your feet are too wide for these shoes, then you will probably bleed, but that's to be expected because the shoe does not fit you and that is often something that can happen with shoes that don't fit. I originally bought the green pair, because I loved the color, but then I loved the fit so much that I bought a second, black pair. These are one of the only shoes with heels I actually wear because they are more comfortable than most, and they're just adorable. I am not generally a high heel wearer, so I'm not used to walking with my heels elevated. Despite that, these shoes were fairly easy to walk in. They are my favorite pairs of heels. and I do highly recommend them. I will be buying more colors in the future, and I hope they will come out with more colors like brown and an aqua/blue shade.

Trying to get what's in picture
Size: 9, Color: Natural Nbpu
Amazon said my size was a 10. So i ordered a 10. Waaaay too long, wide big in general, and I have a wide foot so I was pleasantly surprised. Company did not offer any color in size 9.5 but according to their size guide I "might" fit into a 9! Again, pleasantly surprised that i totally did and even when I put in my "Dr. Scholl's" inserts, i have slight wiggle room for when feet swell. Overall I am happy with the shoe fit, comfortability and height...not that I'd wear these for more than 8 hrs., but comfy enough for a wedding or to wear to work when I have a "mostly office day" instead of out in the yard. HOWEVER... i loved the color and suede-ey look/feel pattern of the size 10. It was exactly as picture/info described. But I'm not sure what happened to the size 9? wth? Although i ORDERED exact same shoe/color but in smaller size...what I got was a much lighter color, and NOT the suede fabric...more nubuck. Bu inside of shoe had same info/tag as the 10. Really hoping that it was a packing/labeling error. Will try one more time to order the 9, in the same 'name' fabric. Fingers crossed that I get what I ordered/want. Otherwise it'll be a return and less stars.
