Has anyone tried these? I'm pretty tempted as I use liquid detergent and it's bloody expensive....

[gazza_3]

I would, but there called "ECOBALLS"

[mechsympathy]

At least they've got the name right.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Greenpeace.

We use them. Can't fault them

So did I!!!!!!

Seems no different to results from ordinary washing to me...just adding the 'eco' bit on to appeal to the eco-friendly crowd - extra bonus for the man who thought this one up!

If they're not hanging off a fence in Kent they're on a roof in London.

Wouldn't the title have been "ecobull"?

Why not just use cheaper detergent then? It all works exactly the same, so just buy the cheapest stuff they do.

£34.99 you must be joking.

Well, I don't like using biological detergent as I have very dry skin and it irritates me. In fact one of the best detergents I've used is the persil liquid stuff I use now.

You get about 40-50 washes per bottle and each bottle costs about £8. Apparantly you get 1000 washes with these Ecoball things so I figured that works out pretty cheap!

It works out at 3.5p per wash for the Ecoballs and 16p per wash for the liquid detergent.

I'm just wondering how effective they are and if they wash as well as the normal stuff.....

I've read good things about them.

Buy, try . . . if they don't work, send back.

Recycled Ecoballs. Delicious

We've been using them for a couple of years.(also have an allergy to Bio)
They seemingly last for ages.( I think that we paid 29.99)
Basically, they clean very well, the only disadvantage is if you like your clothes to smell of washing powder.
No clogged machine.
My dad and brother now uses them.

[ofcorsa]

My dads just started using them,

They clean fine, But finds some stains need added stain remover. About 300 washes per fill i think so works out much better value than powder.
