My mum gave me this set of Ecozone Ecoballs after she had received them as a gift. She asked me to try them out to see what I thought about them, knowing I like trying out new products. The box contained 3 Ecoballs, 3 refill packs, 45ml tube of Ecozone stain remover and a very handy instruction leaflet. Apparently the contents of the box allow you to do 1000 washes based on a 30 minute cycle in the washing machine. (The balls with pellets last up to 750 washes and the refills included provide an additional 250 washes) Those in hard water areas may achieve a lower amount. Just to let you know we live in a soft water area and a 60°c wash takes 1 hour 30 minutes in my ...  Read the complete review

I came across these on Amazon a while back and added them to my wish list but I didn't know much about them at the time. I was in no rush to buy them as I didn't have the money spare at the time and I don't like to buy things unless I know they are going to be worth the money. I then came across a review which sold them to me and I rushed back to Amazon to order myself some. Sad to say I was excited about receiving them as I was eager to try them out for myself. I try to be eco friendly as much as I can, but it is not always possible. There are lots of new things that help us to become more environmentally friendly which is good to see. I must spend a fortune ...  Read the complete review

I have a major problem with having sensitive skin and this has meant most washing powders can cause irritation. This had been driving me mad over the years. Even some non-bios can irritate my skin. Anyway, after looking through some environmentally friendly stuff for teaching my PSHE class and came across an advert for these. As they were on offer at the time for £26.95 (normally £34.99) I decided to give them a try. the product claims it's advantages are: Reuse for up to 1000 washes (this includes the refills) Cost less than 3p per wash (excluding the cost of running the machine) No more heavy shopping loads full of bulky ...  Read the complete review

I read an opinion on DooYoo back in 2005 which raised my curiosity. It was an opinion on some strange objects called Eco Balls and, from the opinion, it seemed that these gadgets were set to revolutionise the way we did our washing making it more economical and environmentally friendly to boot. Trusting both the reviewer and the review I decided that these Eco Balls sounded so good that they had to be tried. What a mistake! It should be added that I still trust the reviewer and would count the person amongst my friends. The same, however, could not be said of my new investment. Eco Balls come in sets of three. They are made of perforated green plastic ...  Read the complete review

Sam said to me one day, “Why don’t we try those Eco-Balls?” ~~~ Never having heard of them before I didn’t know what the heck he was on about and just ignored him as I usually do, but he persisted, so, in between reading aimlessly surfing and reading other peoples top quality reviews, I headed off to my search engine and stuck the words “eco balls” in it. ~~~ Up popped the Green shop website and, coincidentally, their home page happened to have an article about these Balls and they sounded very enticing. Apparently you put some plastic balls filled with eco friendly stuff in your washing machine instead of the more usual soap powder, tablets or ...  Read the complete review
