Wash Balls:a new ECO way to wash your clothes
Wash balls are a pretty new invention that is supposed to replace washing detergent. So when you do your laundry instead of using detergent you put a wash ball into the washing machine and that's it.

Wash balls
How do they work and do they work at all?
Did you hear about the wash balls? If not, first let me explain what they are. Wash balls are plastic balls that you put inside your washing machine together with your dirty clothes. By using them you almost do not need to use any washing detergent. So you save some money and save the environment. Do they work? The opinions are divided, lets take a look.
I have been using wash balls for a few months now. I think that they do work since I haven't noticed any big difference in how clean my clothes are now in comparison to before I was using them. But I must confess that I always add some washing detergent because I like the smell that it leaves on freshly washed clothes.
So - how do wash balls work?
Every wash ball is actually hollow and filled with ceramic pellets. These pellets must first be charged. You achieve that by placing them on your window or someplace similar so the sun can shine on them. Sun or UV rays to be more exact are supposed to give them special energy that later influences the water. You are supposed to do this about once every month.
You need to charge the pellets so the emit more infra red rays. When you put them in the washing machine and the wash balls come into contact with water they start emitting infra red rays and by doing so they break water molecules into smaller clusters. They start to move faster and can better penetrate the dirty fibers in your clothes.
The wash ball also radiates negative ions that soften the fibers in your clothes so the dirt can come out faster and easier without the use of detergent.
Wash ball also eliminates the chlorine from the water. This helps save the clothes (colors and elasticity). By doing this it softens the water and soft water has lower surface tension and is better for any kind of washing.
When washing clothes pH is also important. Wash balls keep the water at the same pH level as washing detergent. This helps remove oils from your clothes.
These were the basic principles of how wash balls work and how do they replace washing detergents. Since I am not that good at physics I can not tell you if this is theoretically and practically possible. But as I said I am using washing balls for some time now and they seem to work. You can also find quite a few comments from people that say they are just a fraud. I think it is best to decide for your self.

I don't have much time to do the laundry so I don't really put that much attention to it, but to me it seem that wash balls work just fine!
