So Disappointed Oct 24, 2010 By laurie
I've been using these for 3 months now. I say these because I have 2 washers, a top loader and a front loader(long story)and bought one for each. I so wanted these to be what they claim and gave them every benefit of the doubt. My husband after about 2 weeks started complaining that his cloths and the wash cloths and towels stank... I wanted to believe he was being finicky but it wasn't long before I noticed it too...And I still more or less ignored it because I so badly wanted these to work..But eventually I had to face it. They either don't work at all or very little. I still keep them in my washers and use less detergent than I use to. But in all honesty I probably used way too much before... It's beyond me how these things get such great reviews.. All I can figure is people must write them within the first few loads when the laundry still has left over detergent in them.. All I know is it took about two weeks to get the fowl smell out of the towels and we are not stinky people by any means... My other suspicion is and take it for what it's worth because I am probably overly suspicious, is that it's not really consumers writing most of the reviews.

Sceptic turned Believer May 10, 2009 By J. Hardesty
I have a theory -- "If you want something done efficiently, assign it to a lazy programmer." It's kind of a motto or a way of life or something I live by. Basically, I was to do everything with as little effort as possible and I will actually put a lot of energy up front to guaranteeing that very little energy has to be spent in the end.

As an environmentalist, I make my own cleaning supplies to avoid adding toxins into my environment and the world in general. However, the lazy programmer was tiring of the effort of shredding the soap to make the laundry detergent and I wanted a simpler solution.

I have to admit, the Green Wash Laundry Ball seemed too good to be true. In my mind, I could not believe that stains would be removed, odors would disappear, or the clothes would resemble anything clean, but...the lazy programmer had to test the theory.

I have to admit that I'm pretty impressed. It does really well with odors -- it removed an unpleasant pet smell from a pet blanket and it does well with light stains. I found I had to do some stain treatment and add a bleach substitute to help remove more difficult stains (red fruit or dark red dressing).

Otherwise, I'm very pleased. It's going to save me a lot of money, energy and time not having to make laundry detergent.

Snake oil? Wash with water only and find out. Or check the tests. Oct 22, 2010 By psantos
These eco-balls have been tested by consumer associations and the result was that they're not more effective than washing with water only. Try it yourself before buying.
The thing is that most clothes aren't much dirty anyway so detergent is only necessary for stains. The manufacturers of these eco-balls recomend pre-treatment with detergent for stains, meaning they don't work for stains.
Clothes and dish detergents are a huge market and generate billions in sales and advertising. Doesn't really surprise me finding out that they're far less necessary than advertised.

You might want to check the test results by consumer associations of several countries:

Amazing but TRUE! May 23, 2010 By R. Burcher
I NEVER write reviews but when I saw this product had none, I had to make a rare exception. I bought this item about 3 weeks ago after reading strong reviews online; one written by a mother of boys who washes stinky "boy laundry" with it. So I figured, even if I just do the sheets and towels, that's good enough. WELL.... LET ME JUST SAY...... I have done EVERY load for the past 3 weeks with it and I am absolutely amazed (and my husband doesn't believe I don't use detergent or fabric softener anymore). Occasionally, I use a pre-treater on my 3yr old's messes (like choc ice cream, katsup, grass, etc) but that's it!!! Seriously, and let me tell you, my husband is STINKY when he gets home! I've washed dog beds, pee-pee sheets, lawn mower/chainsaw work pants, gym clothes.... all of it. I am ordering 5 more today to give as Christmas gifts! (so long as I can get my family to believe this product is AWESOME!!!)

Piece of plastic trash Feb 19, 2011 By Kotek
A friend bought it. It worked for a while then it didn't. I wanted to say "told you so". What I don't understand is how it can claim to change water's ph! This is a piece of plastic with ceramics that gets mixed with water. The change of ph isn't possible, it's a chemical change that changes ph, and this ball is actually not supposed to make chemical changes.
In fact, this type of cleaning was well known for centuries, we just forgot the secret. It was called "beating your clothes on a rock in a river".
Try this: put a rock in your washer, the beating action works just as well as this ball and it's free! It's actually better than free, it's ecofriendly! Producing this piece of plastic caused polution!
Another thing is that people use way too much detergent. What is in your clothes will last a few more washes. Try this too: put your clothes in a washer without any detergent. Notice how much foam you have even without pouring more detergent. That foam is what cleans grease. If clothes are not greasy, but have just some dust/dirt etc water will do the job just fine. There is just so much detergent stuck on clothes, you need small amount and not with every wash.
I accidentally put my cheese cloth (special stirdy kind) with dish towels and washed it instead of handwashing it. That was a big mistake because I spent way more time trying to get the soap out of it than it would have taken to wash it by hand. I had to take all the soap out because it had to be perfectly clean for cheese making. When I thought all soap was gone, I boiled the cheese cloth to sanitize it and boy was I wrong about getting soap out. When it was boiling I had lots of foam on top.... meaning, there was still soap in it! It seemed impossible to get the soap out. Eventually, after several boiling water changes (boiling seemed to get soap out better) I noticed the foam was gone, but I bet there was still some in that cheese cloth. That cheese cloth was the size of a wash cloth. Should be easy to rinse out ALL the soap, but it wasn't as easy as you think..... So I bet the plastic ball's effectivness at first is all thanks to the detergent still stuck on your clothes.
