Most tablets available in supermarkets will only last for about 24 washes, which could cost you a fortune if you go for the environmental friendly brand. So what can you do to reduce your water bill and help the environment?
Eco-balls are the new way to wash your clothes, without damaging the environment. They last up to 1000
washes and are chemical free. Also, they will save you around 85% on your washing bill, compared to buying leading washing up powder.Using eco-balls also can benefit other aspects of your life:
- They are great for people who have eczema, sensitive skin or babies/children as they are hypoallergenic.
- There's no need for fabric softener even in hard water areas, which will add savings to your water bill.
- You can use them in low temperatures, which will help the environment even more.
- The balls don't fade colours in your clothes and don't damage fibres.
But do these balls actually work? Justin Rowlatt did an experiment in 2006 on the eco-balls and this is what he found.
And if that doesn't convince you, then ecoballsdirect will let you try a 30 day trial.

Fantastic idea! I am sooo getting me (us) some of these! Then we really can put them to the test.
Tis good they come with a 30 day thing, in case they aren't as good as expected.
