I would love to see these when they are working. I am sure as they become more popular they will start promoting them more and we can then really see how good they clean the clothes.

I am still a little bit hesitant about a soapless washing machine. I can not see how you can get out stains, oil, grease, grass stains, grape stains and the list goes on without soap. Now, I have a "green" recipe for laundry soap and I willingly use that. But no soap?

Has anyone heard of or tried these or something similar?
Patented Magnetic Laundry System | Laundry Detergent Alternative | Laundry Balls | Laundry Services

I am really interested in getting these.

No, I have not tried anything like that. I don't even have the money to buy it. Besides, it looks like one of those get rich quick scheme advertisements that you see all over the Internet.

Can you tell me more about the wash balls? How do they work? I would love to go detergent free. But with 3 little ones, I really need to get clean laundry. Esp. when washing diapers! Thanks!

To be honest Evie, I don't know! I remember reading about negative ions and all sorts of technical stuff like that, but I think they just work by creating extra friction in the machine. I imagine chucking a tennis ball in would have the same effect, but as I already have the wash balls I use them.

We farm and I have a little one in washable nappies, and my wash is perfectly acceptable.

I think I would rather make my own earth friendly soap because I will never be able to afford either of these machines. Well, maybe when I'm in my 90s but then it still doubtful. I think they're great machines if they actually work.

Thanks GreenMoo. I did look these up and found some on Amazon. I am really interested in getting them. The price in not bad considering you do not have to buy laundry detergent.

The best ones, in my opinion, are the ones which have a band of foam around the outside so that they look like a planet.

I think I found some of those. Are they called eco laundry balls? I have not seen any reviews for these, but am really interested in trying them. Thanks for all your help!
