LAUNDRY ALTERNATIVE

When I visited a friend in Perth about ten years ago, she introduced me to an alternative way of washing clothes in machines or by hand, namely “Laundry Balls”.

I was travelling at the time, so I didn’t take too much notice. Recently, chatting on the phone, she told me she is still using these balls instead of detergent and I paid closer attention. I actually bought a set to try. Now that I have used them for some five months, I feel I can write about them and recommend their use.

These Laundry Balls look like a kid’s or a dog’s toy, but they are filled with a certain type of pellet. These pellets are ionic minerals that produce ionised oxygen. They increase the pH level of the water, which softens the water and fabric, enabling water molecules to penetrate deep into the fabric. The movement of the water in the washing machine lifts the dirt out of the fabric. This is it in a nutshell, and I admit I copied this off a flyer. This and more information can be obtained here, where orders can be placed as well.

I am not recommending these for any personal profit, but people can become distributors and make a bit of money out of this.

However, the important advantages of these balls are:

• · Washing water can be directed straight into your garden without worry about chemicals.
• · Rinsing is not really necessary, hence saving electricity and water
• · Safe for people with skin problems
