Laundry ball without laundry




by phil53 » 16/06/08, 10:46

Hello,

I just saw an advertisement in the women's newspaper.
This is a request for testimony, I have no financial interest in
this product.
It seems too good to be true.
Has a member tried this product?
Washing ball which contains ceramic balls and which claims to remove grime thanks to electrical / electrostatic effects. Alters the molecular structure of water.
It seems impossible to me

Price € 29,90 ...

Thank you for your testimony, if it is true it is really a useful product.

: Arrow: We use magnetic wash balls.

The result is satisfactory but does not dispense with the use of a detergent detergent (preferably based on non-petroleum chemistry).

There is less need for detergent.
However if I don't have scale inside the drum, it settles outside ... :frown:

Finally "my" balls tend to wear out. : Lol:

I highly recommend reading the site of PICCHOU take it and leave it, but it's very interesting. : Arrowl:

29.90 is a price ... very "commercial" ...

For "ecological" laundry, we offer some on the shop: https://www.econologie.com/shop/lessive- ... p-164.html

citro, it's amazing that you add detergent because on the site you talk about (picchou) it is said that you should not put it and that it damages the beads.
I actually saw them in supermarkets and they say to add detergent.
If it is really necessary to do as said PICCHOU, I do not see this system ready to generalize. Machines with a special program would be required, then the balls should be removed before rinsing.

A bit of a pain anyway to use everyday
In addition I dare not buy because there are actually lots of copies and I do not see how to find the one that works

Are you talking about the laundry in the shop or the balls? :?:

The balls do mechanical work, the equivalent of the beater and the washboard of the old washerwomen, but this work must be chemically supplemented with a detergent (soap) sometimes assisted by heat. The washerwomen soaped the laundry.

You can try without soap, the laundry will not be clean, will not smell clean, and will appear grayish ...

Thank you Citro

In view of the explanations I thought it was more technical than that.

For years we have been putting 3 or 4 old tennis balls which also do the work of washerwomen.

subject already created, to look for, all the info is there.

I was talking about the "(magic) washing ball": yes no more detergent!
I also put a magnetic ball on it, everything is washed.

for the smell a touch of essential oil of the perfume you want (lavender, ...).

30 € HT with 2 brewing balls (not to iron again):

Hello Jonule,
have you tried washing cold (room temperature) because for soapnuts you need a minimum of hot water to release the saponin.

no I do not have this setting on my machine!
otherwise you can always chuaffer the nuts, release the saponin and use it for cold laundry!
technique used to release potash from fine wood ash ;-)
