An Earth Friendly Laundry Ball

There has been a large amount of eco friendly products that have been hitting the market over the past couple of years. Everywhere from organic baby clothing to the eco friendly laundry ball. Many people have been searching for a non chemical based alternative to washing their clothing and the laundry ball is just that. These detergent balls come in different shapes an sizes but all in all, they replace the need for liquid detergent.

Eco Washing Balls generally use a ceramic based pellet washing design within the balls; of which is capable of cleaning and sanitizing cloths; just as traditional laundry soap does. Once the ceramic pellets are introduced to the water within the washing machine; they immediately go to work providing Eco laundry. The pellets within the laundry ball cause a chemical reaction with the water; effectively altering the ph of the water to almost the same effect as laundry soap does. The most noticeable benefit of the alteration of the ph level within the water is that it helps the Wash Ball to remove oils and dirt's from the clothing.

The majority of Eco Washing Balls work like this; the pellets located within the Eco laundry ball itself emit a special infra red stream of rays; of which help in the breaking down of the natural hydrogen in the water. In essence; the pellets within the laundry ball break apart the large clusters of hydrogen within the water and make a whole bunch of small clusters. The reason that small clusters are ideal is because with the small ones the molecular motion of the water is increased; ultimately allowing for the water to easily penetrate the fibers within the cloths; basically turbo charging the water for Eco laundry applications.

In addition to the Eco laundry manipulation of the waters ph level and the breaking down of the large clusters of hydrogen in the water; the Eco Washing Ball pellets emit negative ions that help to soften all the fibers in the cloths. By softening the fibers, in combination with the other aspects; the Eco Washing Balls allow for the dirt to come out of the cloths faster, cleaner and easier; providing 100% Green Laundry. By utilizing Wash Balls; one would have no need for traditional laundry soap.

There are many different types of laundry soap; but on average, Procter and Gamble reports that the United States washes about 100 million tons of laundry annually. That works out to be about 35 billion loads of laundry each year. A separate report, released by The Coin Laundry Assn, states that there are an estimated 35,000 coin-operated laundries located in the United States. While the average load of laundry costs about $0.14 per load; while Eco Washing Balls can do the same work; providing pretty much the same results; for about $0.04 per Eco Green Laundry load.

Newer laundry balls are said to last from 750-1000 loads. They can come in different sizes and shapes and can be used either in front or top load machines. Another benefit of this eco friendly product not using any potentially harmful chemicals is reducing the risk of allergic reactions some people deal with.

It is recommended to leave the laundry ball in the sun for 3-5 hours a month. Leaving the unit in the sun will help replenish the inner core. Over time, when the pellets get down to about half the size, they should be replaced.

Certain laundry balls, like the one offered by DoGoodPlanet.com, are made without PVC or BPA. Green materials like SEBS are used to create a fully eco friendly product. Laundry balls are becoming very popular because they are a safe, easy, and eco friendly alternative to the everyday detergents.
