Chestnuts can be used in many ways. Not everyone knows, however, that they can also be used for washing clothes. Can they replace the detergents we know well? A popular influencer has weighed in on the matter.
Can chestnuts help wash clothes?
Chestnuts are used to make creative figurines and in cosmetics and can even be eaten. Now, it turns out they work well in tackling dirty clothes. Interestingly, all you need to do is gather them from the ground, clean them, and toss them in the washing machine with your laundry. Many people recommend cutting them beforehand.
Chestnuts might be useful for laundry due to the saponins they contain, which many consider a natural detergent. That's why buckeye fruit is often chosen by people looking for alternatives to chemical cleaning agents. These substances lather well and also remove dirt.
Will chestnuts replace traditional detergents?
Recently, an influencer discussed chestnuts, which many recommend for laundry use. Although it's undeniable that they might work, it doesn't mean they can fully replace professional detergents.
"I would like to emphasize that natural cosmetics or laundry agents are not always better or more effective than synthetic ones. They can also cause allergic reactions," she emphasized in one of her posts.
