Detergent Laundry System How To Use Laundry
However, I am using my Amazon affiliate link. But other than that, I’ve been washing all our clothing, bedding, towels, winter gear, swimsuits, couch slipcovers, and much more with plain water and laundry balls!I’ve gotten SOOOOOOOO questions about how to use laundry balls ( ever since I first mentioned them in my Favorite Things post a couple of years ago) that I decided it was finally time to do one full dedicated post to the infamous “Laundry Balls”!NOTE: This is NOT a sponsored post. Purposes of cleaning agents include health, beauty, removing offensive odor, and avoiding the spread of dirt and contaminants to oneself and others.Well, for the last 2 years, I have been washing everything with eco-friendly laundry balls, and I’m sharing my experience and answering many of your questions in today’s post!The detergent free laundry systems installed by Lifetime Solutions, Inc., for homeowners in Victorville and Hesperia, California, can provide you with a way to.And yes, I literally have not purchased any laundry detergent in 2 years!I do sometimes add a splash of bleach with our whites and a sprinkle of OxyClean if the clothing is very dirty. Cleaning agents or hard-surface cleaners are substances (usually liquids, powders, sprays, or granules) used to remove dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells, and clutter on surfaces. Wash Front load washers Barrier washers Side load washers Dosing systems Short.Cleaning agent.
Will they work in any type of washing machine?Yes, top-loading, front-loading, high efficiency, etc.NOTE: I always use warm or hot water as that’s what was recommended on the box. Then I washed them with the laundry balls and they came out smelling clean (not scented, but clean). I’ve tried washing towels with plain hot water (no balls or detergent) and they came out smelling musty. Others claim they are a revolutionary discovery!I’m sure you’re not surprised to know that I fall somewhere in the middle!I’m positive they are much more effective than using plain water because I’ve done my own testing. I actually just purchased another set last month as one of our balls was starting to crack open.They were $18.95 for a 2-pack (I use both at the same time).They are rubbery softball-size balls filled with hundreds of tiny bio-ceramic balls, which provide an all-natural way to wash without any harmful chemicals or detergent.They are great for anyone with sensitive skin, anyone with allergies, or anyone who doesn’t like their clothing to have strong detergent smells (me!)Each ball contains Alkali Balls, Far Infrared Balls, Anti-Microbial Balls, and Chlorine-Removal Balls (see image below for more description),From what I understand, the hundreds of ceramic balls inside the rubbery ball increase the pH level of the water when they move around in the washer.They help reduce negative ions in the water, creating a natural Hydrogen Peroxide type effect, which adheres to dirt to keep the clothes cleaner and fresher during the wash.The use of laundry balls is widely debated — some claim they aren’t any more effective than using plain water. I have NO scientific background! 🙂 Which laundry balls do I use?I purchased the BERON brand from Amazon roughly 2 years ago now.
Can you use detergent or bleach with them?Yes, if you want to use a small amount of detergent with them, you can… I do not.You can also use bleach, OxyClean, stain remover, fabric softener, or even essential oils with the laundry balls. What if it’s not sunny where we live?It doesn’t matter — the laundry balls just need to be outside for a couple of hours (even in rainy, snowy, or cloudy weather) to re-charge.I always do this on the 1st of the month. This should last an average family about 3 years (doing 9-10 loads per week) How do you use them?When you first get your laundry balls, you’ll want to soak them in water for 30 minutes.After that, you can simply toss them into the washing machine (on top of the clothing) before you turn it on… that’s it!It’s best not to cram your washer totally full — I usually try to leave a little extra space at the top to make sure the clothing has enough room to move around with the balls.They claim to work best with warm or hot water (I never use cold water).They can sit in the washer (with the door/lid open) in between uses — it is good for them to completely dry out once in a while.Once a month, put them outside to sit in the sun for a couple of hours to “recharge”. One set of laundry balls is said to be able to wash up to 1500 loads of laundry. How long will they last?This obviously depends on how many loads of laundry you do each week.
My tap water pH is already 8. If nothing else, now I’ll have a handy resource to send people when they email me their questions!

There are tons of comments weighing in on the subject too.3. It has fairly extensive content with lots of sources to explain more.This article claims that YES, laundry balls do, in fact, work. However, it pretty much bashes the idea of laundry balls, saying they aren’t any more effective than using plain water.
I read recently that we should never wash knits with towels because the towels are abrasive. I probably donate a bag a month of unwearable knit clothing due to pilling. And my biggest problems with laundry, which are stains despite using bleach on dirty white socks and dishrags and pilling. Adding acid to my tap water makes things worse since it precipitates salts and deposits them. Lots of natural product advocates suggest using vinegar which actually lowers pH as it is a weak acid.
Undies — well I won’t go there but cottons get the hot dryer treatment and delicates (all my undies are basically hand wash labeled) get the hand wash cycle. Dish towels get food on them. Is to get out underarm odor unless it’s kiddo clothes because in their case it’s food. I wash nearly everything that doesn’t come in contact with food in cold water on the delicate or hand wash cycle.I think the number one reason to do laundry on shirts, tops etc. My strategy has been to use Tide pods in the un scented version, and a plant based softener made by Downy.
So the UV Ray light kills the bacteria. We also have a UV Ray light, because we have a well(coliform bacteria is a beast and shocking the well doesn’t guarantee you are rid of it). They use Westinghouse for the water softening system(Lifetime guarantee!!!–which sold us!!!). These balls probably don’t do anything that just plain water would do on it’s own.Hey, Melissa! We used Clear Water Concepts.
Our pH level was surprisingly 7. Haha! Our TDS level should have been 10. They do a free water test in your home, which was a cool science experiment for our kids.
I was fighting lime like it was my worst enemy. I had never had a well before, and I honestly hated having one. Our water was also hard, so cleaning was a nightmare.
My ENT doctor said they had conducted studies of the air and soil AND both showed no signs linked to cancer. Our dog died of thyroid cancer.I shared my concerns with my doctor, and he totally brushed it off. Two of our neighbors had thyroid cancer and one died of ovarian cancer. We also aren’t buying cleaning products because of the free products we got.When my doctor had found nodules on my thyroid(LADIES get your thyroid checked by your doctor yearly…make them feel for any nodules!), it really scared me since there has been a thyroid cancer outbreak in our area.
You’re literally buying city water. If you look at a lot of bottled water, it says, “Municipal water”. Reverse osmosis removes the impurities. The water company we used also recommended never buying bottled water UNLESS it says, “Treated by reverse osmosis”(Great Value, Sam’s Club, and Nestle are some that do).
