FAQs:
What is NutriWash, in plain English?
A plant-based leaf and soil wash made from soap nuts (natural saponins). It helps water spread and stick, lifts dust/grime off leaves, and makes your foliar mixes work better—without the harsh chemicals.
How do I use NutriWash as a foliar spray?
Mix 5 mL per litre of water. Shake the bottle, spray leaves (top and underside) and stems until evenly coated, then let it dry. No need to rinse.
How often should I spray?
Once a week is a good baseline. Bump to twice a week if your plants are dusty, indoors under fans, or you’re trying to clean up sticky honeydew/sooty residue left by pests.
Can I use NutriWash as a soil wetting agent?
Yep. Use 2 mL per litre of water as a soil drench, especially for hydrophobic mixes (peaty or dried-out pots). It helps water penetrate evenly instead of channeling down the sides.
What size is the bottle and how much does it make?
250 mL. At 5 mL/L (foliar) you get ~50 litres of spray. At 2 mL/L (soil) you get ~125 litres of drench.
Is NutriWash a pesticide?
No. It’s a cleaner/surfactant. It loosens grime and sticky residues (like honeydew) and helps your actual pest-control sprays spread evenly. Don’t position it as a stand-alone “bug killer.”
What can I safely mix NutriWash with?
Most foliar inputs: neem oil, white oil, silica, calcium-magnesium, kelp/seaweed, aminos, microbial foliar feeds. It’s there to help them spread and stick.
Anything I should NOT mix NutriWash with?
Avoid mixing into hydrogen peroxide, strong oxidizers, or high-foaming soaps/detergents—it’s already a surfactant and you’ll create a bubble party. If in doubt, jar-test first.
Does NutriWash foam?
A little, because saponins naturally foam. That’s normal. Gentle agitation is enough—don’t shake your sprayer like a cocktail shaker.
What order should I mix things in?
Water first → add NutriWash → add oils (neem/white oil) or other inputs while stirring → top up with water. This prevents localized over-foaming and helps emulsify evenly.
Do I need a separate emulsifier for neem?
Usually no. NutriWash acts as the emulsifier/surfactant. If your neem is very viscous or cold, pre-warm the neem bottle in lukewarm water and mix well.
What’s the ideal spray pH?
Most foliar mixes behave well around pH 5.8–6.5. Adjust after all ingredients are in. NutriWash itself doesn’t require a special pH.
Is NutriWash safe for edible plants and herbs?
Yes—plant-derived, biodegradable ingredients. Spray in the evening/mornings, let dry, and follow your normal pre-harvest rinse routine if you’ve used oils in the mix.
Is NutriWash safe around pets, kids, and beneficial insects?
Yes when used as directed. It’s non-toxic and plant-derived. Still, spray when pets/kids/beneficials aren’t in the line of fire and let plants dry before re-entry.
Will NutriWash harm my microbes or mycorrhizae?
In normal use rates, no. As a leaf wash or light soil drench it’s microbe-friendly. Don’t dump highly concentrated solutions directly onto inoculants.
Indoor growers: will NutriWash leave residue on leaves or LEDs?
No sticky residue from NutriWash itself. If you’re using oils, any sheen is from the oil. Wipe LEDs separately—don’t spray fixtures.
Will NutriWash help with hard water spotting on leaves?
It helps water sheet off and reduces spotting, but if your tap water is very hard, use filtered/RO for foliar sprays to avoid mineral marks.
Can I use NutriWash in hydroponic reservoirs?
Not recommended. Use it as a foliar or occasional media drench. Adding surfactants directly to reservoirs can cause persistent foaming and mess with DO/recirculation.
Does NutriWash affect EC/PPM readings?
Barely at the recommended rates. Always measure EC after you’ve mixed everything—NutriWash first, then nutrients, then final check.
What about on fuzzy or waxy leaves (succulents, begonias, kale, brassicas)?
Go lighter. Do a patch test on one leaf. Saponins help wet waxy surfaces, but some textures need gentler coverage.
Can I spray in full sun?
Avoid high light/heat. Spray at lights-off (indoors) or early morning/late afternoon (outdoors) to prevent spotting or stress—especially if oils are in the mix.
How long should I leaveNutriWasht on the plant?
It’s a leave-on cleaner. No rinse needed. If you used heavy oil mixes, you can mist with plain water 24 hours later to freshen leaves.
Will NutriWash remove sooty mold and sticky honeydew?
It helps loosen and lift it. For stubborn buildup, spray, wait 5–10 minutes, then gently wipe with a soft cloth and re-spray lightly.
Can NutriWash boost photosynthesis?
Indirectly. Cleaner leaves = better light capture and gas exchange. It’s not a nutrient; it simply keeps leaf surfaces clear so the plant can do its job.
Is NutriWash okay for seedlings and cuttings?
Yes—use half-rate (2–3 mL/L) on tender tissue. Great for evenly wetting propagation media.
Does NutriWash help with hydrophobic coco/peat when pots dry out?
Absolutely. That’s one of its best uses—re-wets media fast and evenly, reducing dry pockets.
Is NutriWash compatible with silica?
Yes. Add NutriWash to water first, then silica, mix, then add the rest.
Will NutriWash strip protective leaf waxes?
At normal rates and frequencies, no. It’s a mild plant-derived surfactant—think “clean,” not “strip.”
Can I use NutriWash with calcium or Epsom foliar feeds?
Yes. It improves coverage and reduces beading. Watch for crystallization if you spray in heat—time your sprays right.
Will NutriWash change spray droplet size or drift?
It reduces surface tension, so droplets spread and stick more—less bounce-off, less runoff.
What about IPM programs?
Use it as the “wetting/cleaning” backbone: alternate plain NutriWash cleans with your chosen treatments (e.g., neem/white oil/biologicals). Don’t stack every product in one tank.
Any plant types I should avoid?
Patch test first on sensitive ornamentals (some ferns, African violets, glaucous/silver-leaved plants). If no reaction in 24–48 hours, proceed.
How should I store NutriWash?
Cool, dry place. Keep the cap tight. Don’t leave mixed solution sitting for days—make fresh each session.
What’s the shelf life?
Unopened: 18–24 months in cool storage. Opened: aim to use within 12 months for best performance.
Is NutriWash organic/OMRI certified?
It’s plant-derived and biodegradable. Certification status isn’t claimed—if you need a specific scheme, check your farm’s compliance rules.
What does NutriWash smell like?
Neutral to slightly “soapy/planty.” No heavy perfumes.
Will NutriWash stain clothes or floors?
No dyes. Wipe spills promptly—like any surfactant, it can make floors slippery.
Is NutriWash okay for houseplants?
Perfect for indoor plants—removes dust, keeps foliage fresh, and helps your occasional foliar feeds actually coat the leaf.
Can I use NutriWash in a pressure sprayer or fogger?
Yes. Expect a bit of natural foam. Rinse the equipment with warm water after use.
How do I do a patch test?
Spray one leaf at the intended rate, wait 24–48 hours, and check for curling, burn, or discoloration. If all good, treat the rest.
What’s actually inside NutriWash?
A plant-derived saponin extract (from soap nuts) in water—no synthetic fragrances or dyes.
Why choose NutriWash over dish soap?
Dish soaps are designed for dishes, not plants; they often contain degreasers, fragrances, dyes, and salts that can damage foliage and microbes. NutriWash gives you the wetting/cleaning you want without the baggage.
I’m seeing runoff—am I wasting spray?
Probably. With saponins, less is more. Back off your trigger pressure and aim for a fine, even coat—no dripping.
Can I wipe leaves after spraying?
Optional. For heavy dust/sooty mold, spray → wait 5–10 minutes → wipe gently → re-spray lightly. For routine maintenance, just spray and let dry.
What if I accidentally over-mixed it strong?
Dilute immediately with more water. If you’ve already sprayed, mist foliage with plain water 1–2 times over the next day.
Will NutriWash leave a shiny finish for plant shows/photos?
It leaves a clean, natural finish—not a glossy oil shine. If you used neem/white oil, any sheen is from the oil.
Does NutriWash help with hard-to-wet bark and stems?
Yes—great for getting uniform wetting on woody stems during foliar feeding or trunk cleaning on indoor trees.
Any pro tips?
Use warm (not hot) water for mixing, pre-warm viscous oils before adding, and always strain your tank mix if you’re using homemade inputs in the same spray.
Can I return NutriWash if it’s not for me?
Follow our standard returns policy—unopened, within the stated timeframe.
If I have one takeaway, what is NutriWash for?
Simple: it makes water work better—spreads, sticks, and lifts grime—so your plant care is cleaner, easier, and more effective.
