Laundry balls: does it work or not?

[chris27]

What do you think of washing balls and what quality would you buy

thank you for helping me

[Christophe]

Which ones? There are 5 or 6 different types of washing "balls" currently on the market.

I even saw recently special "drying balls" for tumble dryers (and of which I think the effectiveness is proven: it airs the laundry more ... at least on paper but as I will probably never have a dryer laundry I can not judge objectively).

[chris27]

I'm just lost I would like to buy one for washing but the more ecological

for drying I prefer my clothesline it's much better

[Christophe]

What type of balls is this?

There are some who work and others who work less well ...

In all cases it does not prevent having to put detergent (except 1 type of balls which contain concentrated detergents)

[chris27]

I thought that with the balls we could do without detergent except in cases where the laundry is very dirty and we need a little detergent

I would like to reduce my laundry as much as possible so I ask about the ash method it's not possible

do not hesitate to advise me

The wood ash is much better and very easy if you can recover and very easy to recover.

Raymon I'm going to make you laugh but I am a young eco-friendly not by my ages 50 years but by my thoughts

after going from the HLM tower overheated by the ground of a big city I went to a country house in the middle of fields surrounded by cow already the shock was hard

after the vegetable garden to eat breast the hunt for energy expenditure of the house
now here I am with the desire to reduce the detergent and all the polluting household products therefore the detergent on the balls it says no longer used detergents

of course for the ash would be ideal I heat myself with wood with an insert fireplace but I did not understand anything and the balls seemed simpler
how complicated it is to be green

[Christophe]

You will not confuse with Indian washing nuts by chance?

[chris27]

no i don't cross

The ash is simple: pour a part of ash in a washing machine, add 2 to 3 parts of boiling water on it let stand 24 hours recover the liquid above the ashes and you have a mixture of soda and potash transparent my time very effective in the washing machine and dishwasher! It's even faster than going to the grocery store; Apparently, soda degrades well in the environment.
