I still use fabric softener and am very happy with the results.
I have used it for a few weeks now and no stain has resisted it
Cost is cheaper than buying washing products
I bought 2 of these and am using 1 in our slim line washer .
It is soft enough to not make a racket when the machine is operating.
The resulting washed clothes have come out clean and fresh wihtout being scented.
I think if you were to put heavily stained items in, you might want to use both at once and maybe presoak your stained clothing before adding to the machine.
For us, they give the same results as when using laundry liquids so I am pleased with the purchase.
The added bonus is, the water going down the drain after the wash, is not filled with chemicals.
If you have a way to save the grey water, it should be suitable for garden watering.
I am about to order my second washing ball. The current one is starting to run low after 2.5 years of heavy use. Various sports kits from a busy family and dog beds you name it this ball gets the dirt out and any smells!
I will never go back to detergents.
Don’t hesitate just buy it and help save your money, your health (no toxic ingredients) and the planet!
This is the second one that I have ordered. The first lasted over a year, very economical and great reduction in plastic and cardboard being thrown away. You do have to get used to barely any scent to the washing because of not using washing powder and softener but the washing just has a lovely fresh smell particularly if dried in the garden.
product arrived in good condition
it didn’t remove the stain on clothes
I still have to add washing powder and condition on running the washing
as convid-19 virus only killed by soapy detergent thus I thought I better add in the detergent in my washing after I found out that the stain on clothes didn’t go away
It works, I don’t understand how, but it’s one of my best buys ever! I bought the laundry ball only because two of my children, both in their 50’s, accused me of not being eco friendly enough. I admit to using up all my usual detergent before I started using the ball, but I am now completely converted and I don’t think I will use detergents ever again. The ‘old fashioned’ fresh air smell of the laundry when I bring it indoors is lovely! The all round 5 stars is well deserved.
Bit disappointed that no instructions or information regarding ingredients were included however it does seem to clean clothing OK. Only downside is that since using the ball I am occasionally getting what appears to be grease mark on some items, although this does come out when treated with stain remover and washed. Given the savings from using the ball I can live with this.
I am a first time user and ordered it (not knowing what to expect!!). The Laundry ball (just bigger than a tennis ball) has all the “magic” beads inside it – just put it in the washing machine with your laundry – and wash away!!!! The clothes smelt really clean and fresh (even though there’s no obvious scent from the laundry ball itself – at least I don’t think!!) It’s a real money saver – as you don’t need tablets or washing powder or liquid……I’ve got a few left (which I’m thinking of donating) as I’m REALLY happy with my Super Laundry Ball. If it does the same job, saves money AND it’s a help for the environment then it’s a WIN-WIN situation – Try it for yourself!!
I have only just taken delivery of the laundry ball. Done 3 washes at 30 degrees and everything comes out very clean and smelling fresh.Impressed so far. Also I am keeping a note of how many washes I am doing to see if it does do the claimed 1500 washes, hence just for stars for value.
I loved the average wash result. Loved saving money and the ball not having chemicals. I loved helping the environment. There is no scent so I spray diluted essential oils on my washing. Tee towels do not come out stain free but that doesn’t bother me as no one but us see them. However, clothing comes out without stains and if they didn’t I would soak them in a natural stain remover. Overall I am really pleased with the product.
I purchased this as a replacement for an Egg.
It came with no instructions so I don’t know how to tell when it’s no longer working or if I need to add more pearls. Very frustrating.
It appears to wash clothes okay.
No scent which is a shame.
Bottom line – don’t think I’d buy again because of the lack of smell and instructions meaning not sure how to use etc. Shame.
I was sceptical but this does actually cleans the clothes! It has no scent so the clothes do smell clean but, as we are used to them having a soapy scent when fresh from the wash, no scent can be disconcerting.
I did find that a toothpaste mark did not come out when I used the ball by itself so I now use the ball with a very small amount of laundry liquid (about a quarter of what I would use without the ball) and it works perfectly. I have not needed to use fabric conditioner at all since using the ball. If the clothes are not visibly dirty e.g. with toothpaste marks and the like, the ball by itself it fine.
It is great for being environmentally friendly, being able to wash items that do and do not require conditioner at the same time, and the number of uses you can get out of it for the price is fantastic! We are definitely saving money as we are having to buy no conditioner and now buy laundry liquid four times less frequently than we used to.
This was another purchase I was sceptical about but thought worth giving a try – and so far I’ve been very pleasantly surprised. Aside from adding a small amount of bleach to my white loads to keep them bright (which I did with my old laundry liquid) this has been the only thing used to clean in the wash, and everything is coming out fresh and clean. Even my partner’s filthy gardening clothes. Not sure how well it will last, but I’m happy not to be pouring detergent into the machine.
Reasonable price, very quick delivery, works good with colours and darks, doesn’t snag and has no smell (that I can tell) but the whites i.e. socks and underarms had to go back in for a second wash with detergent. I’m going to keep using it for the bedding, towels and colour washes and have a word with the kids about walking outside in their socks!
No washing liquid or powder put in the machine but look at the picture. The washing has come out clean. What a saving.
I did not like it making a noise in the drum.
That was my only concern, It’s quite heavy the ball as it is filled with some kind of crystals . Next time I won’t put as much washing in the machine. But other than that I am quite impressed. 4 stars due to the noise of it chunking as it was going around in the washer.
Laundry comes out clean, no artificial perfumes from fabric conditioners but still smells lovely and fresh.
I am not sure how exactly this one work, but it seems fine so far. I didn’t get white bits like some other ppl say. My cloth didn’t smeel like I use fabric softener but it seems clean. I am happy with product as it will save me money and save the environment. I am doing soap and detergent free life by doing nopoo and using this product.
i purchased this product on september 2017 to give it a try, and after a year using it and leaving my clothes clean and saving me a lot of money, my sister and two friends bought it too. Great as a present for everyone. I use it maximum on 40 degrees and if there is a hard stain on a piece I use a stain remover spray on that stain to help get it out. For normal wash it is perfect and if you have a wine or tomato stain just use a bit of stain remover and perfect!
I was looking for replacement Tumble-dryer balls when I stumbled onto this, and thought ‘why not’ – I’ve used T/D balls for years as my sons dislike wearing ‘scented’ clothes, so this was just another experiment…. At first my laundry smelt odd – not unclean, just odd, I realise NOW it was the absence of scent/perfume and my washing machine has lost it’s stuffy, less then clean, aroma.. Now I wouldn’t go back to using detergent/ softener for almost anything…
