Ecoegg Laundry Egg (Old 210-Wash Version – Discontinued)

I decided to try this but was skeptical. Pop the egg with beads into the wash - no laundry soap, no softener, no stain boosters...just the egg. Cycle over, you pull out fresh, clean laundry. Totally surprising and totally amazing. The box comes with the egg, packages of beads, and more to refill over many months. We do 1-3 loads of laundry per week and I've had this for 4 months and just added a second package of beads. Will see how long before I need to purchase refills, but will not be going back to regular laundry products!

I LOVE my eco eggs. As a full time RVer, I need to have products that don’t take up very much space. And this small egg meets that requirement. But does it work? Absolutely! My clothes are clean and fresh smelling. I sometimes add a scoop of Borax or Oxyclean if I need to boost the cleaning power, but the egg works great all by itself, and it doesn’t leave any nasty residue in the washer like so many other laundry products.

I was skeptical before I first tried this but it really does work effectively and saves a lot of plastic being used on the planet and also saves you having to lug big containers of heavy liquid detergents. For super grimy stuff (like after working on your car engine or after camping), I use the egg but add a little bit of detergent or just baking soda and vinegar and it's always worked great.

Seems to work pretty good.I use it, along with baking soda to wash pet bedding for a dog with what seems to be every allergy known to man. I appreciate that her stuff comes out clean and with no scent.It asked for a 'scent' rating, but since I bought the unscented, I left that clear.I CAN say that there is no scent with the 'unscented' and I DO like that.I've tested this one against a different brand of the same type of washing system (Bought from Amazon) and can say that they both perform pretty much the same, with the other option costing about 10 dollars less for the same amount of washes.

I have a front loading washer that tends to get "stale" and so I really had to clean it well and get the smell out of it before I could tell if the laundry egg was working. Part of the problem with regular detergent is that it builds up and makes washers not clean as well. I have tested this with notably dirty items with dirt or food on them and they do come out clean. My kids' basketball shorts and other items of that strange synthetic fabric seemed to get the mildew smell from the washer more often than other items and now they come out without that smell. I don't think it would work as well if I were using it in a washer that had detergent residue, however, so it might not be good for laundromat use or shared machines.

LOVE THIS!!!! I only have to spot treat with spray and wash or something similar. Other than that I'm never going back to traditional detergent. I've saved so much $$

Started using these in England, and they're great, wonderful for sensitive and baby skin, much less to carry (versus heavy detergent full of chemicals), and fragrance free if you want. They do offer fragrances as well, but with asthma I shy away from it. Everything is clean with no residue left behind like some detergents I've tried, and it's a great alternative! Every now and then (6 months or so, depending on how much you wash obviously) you open the egg up and put in a new packet of detergent 'beads' - little spheres of basically Borax, and you're good to go for ages more. Something about the tourmaline spheres and the Borax lifts dirt out in the wash, their website probably tells you exactly how. All I know is with an infant in cloth diapers and all our household laundry this genius little device was/is a godsend. Bought one for my Mom as well, and she throws in some scented fabric softener as she likes the perfumed bed linens. We both couldn't be happier with it, and it's good to know there's no need for her to lug heavy detergent downstairs anymore. I don't know why I hadn't heard of these things years ago!!! Definitely recommend to everyone. (And no, I don't work for them, just really love this thing)

It does a great job but the pellets are wearing down very quickly
