Wash Balls

Anyone tried these? You pop them in your washing machine instead of detergent and they're supposedly good for 1000 washes. They work out a lot cheaper than powder in the long run.

i was wondering the same thing - come on anyone tried them plz................

Blackduck · 28/07/2005 12:59

Yeap I use them...I think they are great, except if something is particularly smelly (ds was sick and had to use powder to get rid of the sick smell...) Haven't worked out how many washes it has done, but haven't bought soap powder for months...

like these?

Ive wanted to try these, and have been looking for "buddies" to split a pack with, so if I dont like them, I wont have wasted £35. Cant afford to make mistakes like that.. anyone wanna do that?

you could try a similar one from lakeland (not as expensive....)

I've been wondering about these. My kids get their clothes really grubby, often muddy, with stained cuffs etc. Do these laundry balls work? I love the idea.

Has anyone tried the lakeland one?

fubbs · 07/08/2005 16:09

Used the Lakelands ones - great except for smells and I didn't realise that the washing was coming out grubby because the ball was used up for AGES .

Will be getting them again, definitely.
