Title: THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING
Review: Each day that I use these balls I am amazed at how much better they clean than when I used laundry detergent and conditiner! How can this be and why is everyone not using them? I have been using them for over a month now.When I first received my ball I placed it in the sun for a couple of hours before I used it, as the instructions said. I did use warm water for the wash cycle. I waited for the machine to start adjatating to see if the hard plastic of the ball would hit off of the adjatating blades and make a racket and there was no sound at all. At this point I did use laundry conditioner and it was basically a towel type load. I did notice a small amount of suds in the run off water probably due to residual soap still in the laundry. The run off water was a little dark and did smell of dirty water. When the machine was finished I was surprized as the clothes seemed the same as any other time using laundry detergent and smelled very fresh.When I took the clothes out of the dryer I inspected everything and was pleasantly surprized at the very clean smell and softness. I did use a dryer sheet so that could explane the smell but the clothes were without a doubt clean and felt softer than usual actually, probably due to not having used detergent.So all in all I am thriled and boy will this save the bucks and the environment! I'm sure the detergent company's are not happy about this product and that could explain some of the negative reviews. I am going to 'charge' the ball once a week and keep a record of how many times I use it by the machine.Now I want to see how well the ball does with my work load next as that will be the big test. It took me years to come up with the right laundry detergent and stain remover. I ended up using Tide with bleach and Shout Gel Advanced for set in stains. I am a Waitress and I'm in back where the food is cooked as much as I am out on the floor serving it. My uniform smells like a deep frier when I get home and I have every kind of stain you can imagine at one time or another that need to be washed out in any given load.So after reading the one Lady's review I did purchase the largest box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda, it was 4 lbs. and cost $2.89. I also purchased a gallon jug of distilled white vinegar for $2.79. I was REALLY hesitant to even attempt washing my work cloths without my laundry detergent as I was worried about them coming out with set stains because I was going to use hot water! All the stains had been sprayed and I added 1/4 cup of baking soda and white vinegar to the water. I did use fabric softener as I always did so I would not have to iron and started the load. I noticed that the run of water did not smell perhaps due to the white vinegar. When the washer was done I put them in the dryer with one dryer sheet and crossed my fingers that I would not regret this.The result was absolutely amazing! There was not one stain anywhere, they smelled clean and were wrinkle free as always. This is a WONDERFUL THING to say the least!Now I find myself doing more laundry than usual because I do not have to use laundry detergent. I also found out that I did not need to use the laundry conditioner. However with black loads you need to use cold water as the balls clean so well that they strip the black color in warm or hot water. I am still using one dryer sheet though.These Laundry balls are nothing short of AMAZING !!!

Title: Clean without soap Chemicals Scent Free
Review: It's so easy toss into top loader washer, pull out clean clothes. You may need to pretreat stains though. Clothes didn't come out with any leftover dog stink on them. Dryer sheet will add your fragrance if you want. Next test will be socks load.... otherwise Very Pleased. Will buy another once it runs out.

Title: It works like a dream.
Review: I was just browsing to see if I could find Natural Soap Nuts on Prime. I saw this green ball & I put it on my list. It intrigued me but I continued to look for the Nuts. I showed it to my husband & he saw the price $6.79 & said to order it if I wanted to try it. So I did & when it arrived I was prepared to think it was a joke or scam. Something that inexpensive couldn’t possibly work. Well I used it on my weekly laundry & was totally amazed. My laundry was clean & fresh smelling you can’t ask for more. Things came out of the dryer fluffy & easy to handle while folding.I’d say give it a try you’ll be surprised 😮 like I was. I’m sharing my find with friends & loved ones.

Title: UPDATE: Holes in clothes now
Review: ***UPDATE***I am updating this review after using it for a year. I still love this product, BUT I do think the bumps on it have worn out some of my clothes. I think they probably grip and pull on them sometimes if they get caught in an item of clothing. Because of the many holes I now have in quite a number of items, I am dropping this a couple of stars. Holes weren't there when I put them in the wash, and now they are. This has happened numerous times. If they changed the ball to a smooth ball, it probably would not happen. Curious if anyone else has had their items start getting holes also after having used it for a year. I just ordered the magnetic laundry system, and am expecting the same or better cleaning results as this green wash ball.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Great for those of us with chemical sensitivities, and healthy for everyone! I used to alternate using borax, 7thGeneration, Biokleen, vinegar, baking soda or soap nuts to clean my clothes depending on what was a good deal at the time. I use this exclusively now, and it does a great job of washing clothes. I've even had some shirts with yellowing collars come out clean. I did let them soak with the ball overnight, but that was all I did. It has also helped with "some" articles of clothing that I've purchased at thrift stores with scented detergents on them or perfumes. It must depend on the fabric, but I don't have to wash them nearly as much as I did before. In some cases, the odors came out on the first wash! Others, I've had to let soak overnight, and on occasion wash a couple more times. In the past, I've tried everything to get those odors out, including soaking in borax and vinegar for days, and they still were just as smelly. I even tried putting them out in the sun and wind for days, and usually does not help all that much for the heavily scented clothes. So, I am very happy with this product.I did have one pair of shorts that just wanted to hold onto the scent, and the combination of this product and PureAyre afterwards helped a lot. I was concerned it was ruined because the ball smelled heavily of the scented detergent from that one piece of clothing, but it quickly dissipated, (within a day or less, I did not keep checking on it to see how long it took to de-scent, it might've been an hour) and has absolutely no scent at all now.I've since bought another to have on hand, and would love to see the majority of the population using this product or similar, as it's so much healthier, safer on us and the environment. The "scents" companies use, are not even tested for human safety, and with all the cancer and new autoimmune disorders, and other diseases coming up, we could all be helped by lessening our toxic load. This is a great start!If you have mcs or just want to save money, or live healthier, I recommend this product.
