To make liquid detergent:

Add about 40g (handful) of soapnut shells to 1 L of water. Bring to boil, then simmer for approximately 20 minutes.

You can use the liquid immediately or let it steep overnight. The liquid can be used as an all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, car wash, liquid soap, pet shampoo, and any other situations in which you would normally use soap or a liquid detergent
