I’m constantly on the search for products that benefit both the earth and my wallet. While searching for an alternative to laundry detergent and dryer sheets I came across the Complete Laundry System. The system includes one round laundry ball and two pointy shaped dryer balls.
The laundry ball is placed into your washing machine without any laundry detergent. I wondered how this tiny little laundry ball could clean my clothes without any soap. According to the manufacturer the tiny ball creates an energy field when agitated in the machine, which thins the water and helps it move through the fibers of your clothing.
I will admit that I was skeptical at first. I stuck the ball in a dirty load of laundry with some of my husband’s stinkiest t-shirts. I thought for sure that they would still smell when I pulled them from the washer, but as unbelievable as it may seem the clothes came out smelling fresh and clean.
Then I tried the dryer balls. My husband and I actually hang all of our laundry to dry on a pipe in the basement, but we do run the clothes through the dryer on ‘air’, with a dryer sheet, just to fluff them and get the wrinkles out. My husband was very skeptical of the balls and claimed they wouldn’t soften the clothes the way he likes. We tossed the dry laundry into the dryer and added the two pointy shaped balls. Fifteen minutes later we pulled out soft, wrinkle-free shirts. Admittedly the clothes weren’t quite as soft as they are when using dryer sheets, but they were plenty soft and wrinkle free.
The best part about the Complete Laundry System is that the dryer balls are designed to last a lifetime and even more importantly they replace those awful dryer sheets! The laundry ball is designed to last at least three years or 2,000 washes, whichever comes first.

That sounds amazing. I have taken to making my own laundry soap in an effort to be more economical. I still buy the fabric softener (when I hang things on the line) or dryer sheets to help with wrinkles and scent. I would love to give these a try and eliminate the softener and laundry soap from my budget. I just hope it can get all the dirt out that my farmer husband puts into his clothes.
Thanks,

I would like to win this to save money on detergents/fabric softener/dryer sheets. Also, this would save me worrying about whether one of my children will react to the chemicals/scents in the detergents, etc. Also, it’s better for the environment to not be using those harmful chemicals and that’s always something I do when possible.

I would love to try this out! I am getting married soon and my fiance and I will be moving into a new place soon. We are looking for ways to save money and this would be a fantastic start.
Oooh, Can I please be the winner? With three kids and two dogs it seems as if we’re constantly doing laundry. Just the idea of not having to constantly worry about detergent or letting the kids help by tossing in the laundry balls is such an exciting prospect! That and I don’t use dryer sheets so those dryer balls will be perfect for our summertime “natural” line drying then fluffing in the dryer sessions š
Thanks for the post and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed š

money is tight, tempers are short,
Ive been asked by hydro to cut my bill,
they have put me on the smart meter,
doing laundry now not whenever I want,
the heavy pails of laundry soap, would be no more,
the fact of those 3 little balls,
would help me with the laundry chore,
we all want to win this incredible prize,
but I will use it, really I would, no more laundry soap or dryer sheets, using 3 balls more.
I would like to try this product because it does not add any harmful chemicals to the water going down the drain! This is especially critical for us in So. Cal. where we will pretty soon be forced to use “grey” water for watering lawns and gardens!
At the moment I have 9 people living in my house, so I do a lot of laundry! These would help considerably in cutting down my laundry bill.
I’d to get rid of having to buy laundry soap!
I’d love to win this will save me money on laundry detergent
