Laundry with Laundry Balls

August 18th, 2011

Laundry ball is a magical ball that is invented for your laundry. The most magical point for this laundry ball is the concept of laundry without detergent. The laundry ball itself is the substitute of your detergent. By just using the ball alone, you can have all your dirty clothes washed.

There are different types of laundry balls like ceramic, magnetic or special liquid ones available online. Among all these types, ceramic one is the most common. It is known as ceramic type because there are ceramic mineral pellets inside the plastic laundry ball. These little mineral pellets assist in the release of ionized oxygen molecules. These ionized oxygen molecules raise the pH level of water and soften the fabric. Therefore, water molecules are able to penetrate the fabric and dirt is easily removed.

When I first read about the laundry ball on the web, the money saving benefit caught my eyes. The laundry saves me money not only because of the price that I pay for detergents and fabric softener. Washing clothes with laundry ball also saves water and electricity consumption. Laundry balls are not expensive, it costs you around $40 -$50 for a pairs on average. For each ball, you can reuse up to 60 times.

Price is not the only reason for me to try the laundry ball. I have a friend with 2 children. My friend is upset by the eczema that her children suffering from. She has been working hard to find out reasons for the eczema. Later, she discovered that laundry detergent can be one of the reasons. The chemical residues left on the clothes cause eczema on her children. I have tried to research about allergies and laundry detergent. I find out that the harsh chemicals contained in the detergent can really cause allergies. With the substitution of laundry detergent with the laundry ball, allergies can be alleviated.

The use of laundry balls also save your time as you just need to throw the ball into your washing machine. You do not have to worry about the measuring and pouring of detergent and fabric softener. Laundry balls enable every laundry to become a one step process.

Laundry balls do not benefit human only, it also benefit our environment. The mineral pellets inside the laundry balls replace the toxic chemicals in detergent. There is lesser phosphate released into the sea. Compared to environmentally safe laundry detergents, laundry ball is much cheaper. That means, you can help save the environment in an affordable way.

Though I love the idea of the laundry ball, I have to admit that it does not perform certain functions which you may be expected. As there is no bleach inside the laundry ball, it cannot give you a luminous white shirt. Also, if you have grease on your clothes, you may need a pre-wash which is not performed by the laundry ball. To remove the grease, you need enzyme which is not contained in the laundry ball. Finally, if you love the nice smell of the laundry detergent and fabric softener, I am sorry to say that you are not going to have that nice smell with the use of laundry ball. You can only get a smell of fresh clothes.
