Eco Balls Reviews

When I saw these in a catalogue and worked out how much they could save me I had to give them a go - if they last as long as they say it should cost about 3p a load. Add to this the fact that you don't need fabric conditioner with them and you have to be on to a winner. I was also keen to try them because my daughter suffers from bad eczema and ...  Read the complete review

I came across ecoballs about 2 years ago when I was using cloth nappies on the boys. Someone said to me you put these 3 balls in to your washer and they wash your clothes. I thought right ok what are you on. so I bought some to have a go after reading alot of information on these. I ordered them on line at £35 - I thought a ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Ecoballs are basically balls that you place in the washing machine with your washing, and are intended to replace washing powders and conditioners. They come in a green box, in which there is a set of three balls, three bags of refills (of the pellets which do the washing) and some stain remover. A box of three will set you back thirty pounds, ...  Read the complete review

I had seen eco balls in the shops for just over £30 - and even though I knew that if they worked for the time they were proclaimed to do, that would be very cost effective - the initial layout put me off. Then a colleague where I used to work tried them, he had just bought a flat and was trying anything to save money. I checked out ...  Read the complete review

We try to be a fairly 'green' household, so I've been aware of Ecoballs for a long time, but they retail at aroudn £30, and I didn't want to shell out that much without being sure they would work. So when my friend offered me some for free, I couldn't wait to try them. She'd tried them and thought they were not for her, so I said I'd ...  Read the complete review

Ecoballs are made by Ecozone, creators of many clever environmentally-friendly products, & there are lots of compelling reasons for using them. They use 'ionic cleaning power' - in other words the dirt is attracted out of the clothes without the need for detergent. This in itself is a plus for our waterways, but of course there are addded ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I first read about these balls in Bounty.coms environmental friendly mums forum about two years back. I had looked them up on the internet then(as I like to think myself as a towards green person) but couldn't convince my husband( not as towards green as me) to spend £25 on some 'useless' balls that in his words' if they are that ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I bought these balls and was very impressed, not so good on whites I have found.

Also sometimes the washing smells "stale"

Has anyone else had these problems and are there any fixes??

Otherwise tremendous product, very cheap, easy and keeps the machine claen!

Eco-balls do not work. Those who claim they do are actually witnessing the placebo effect. I learnt the hard way, as I purchased these over-priced hunks of plastic. I ran a few loads of laundry using the Eco-Balls, and my washing did come out cleaner. I was not convinced, though, that the eco-balls had really done anything. Therefore, ...  Read the complete review

I am concerned that the only review of this product reads like an advertising blurb and this is the only reason that I rated it as only 'fairly useful.

I will put off my purchase until I see a less professional write up that looks like it was written by a 'normal' user.

Sorry.

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 ...  Read the complete review

My laundry always looked clean but a few things were worrying me. It was quite expensive. I used Ecover Laundry Liquid because of its minimal impact on the environment, but it cost about 16p per wash just in liquid alone. It was more if I used a fabric softener. Quite a lot of the bulk in my supermarket shop each week was laundry liquid and ...  Read the complete review

I saw these in a catalogue, and was a bit sceptical, but decided to give them a try as the promised advantages looked worth it: cheaper than washing liquid or powder; no polluting waste; no chemicals on clothes; nothing to irritate sensitive skin; easy to use, no product to measure out; no bleaches, so clothes keep their ...  Read the complete review

I bought these from an advert that my mum sent me - they were quite expensive, but they work! They are three little balls filled with some magic ingredient that lasts for hundreds of washes. They somehow clean your clothes without detergent, so are skin friendly (my son has sensitive skin), and are also a lot lot cheaper than your usual washing ...  Read the complete review
