FatCatGreen Eco Laundry Balls Review & Giveaway

About FatCatGreen Laundry Balls:
The FatCatGreen Eco Laundry Ball contains non-toxic mineral oxides that increase the alkalinity of the water, effectively making the laundry "wetter" to gently and thoroughly separate dirt from the fabric. With the Eco Laundry Ball, you never need to use chemical detergents again making this the ideal washing aid for families with young children, people with sensitive skin and allergies and anyone trying to be more green and environmentally friendly in their daily lives.
FatCatGreen Laundry balls help to eliminate detergent residues, which in turn helps save water and electricity and I am totally on board with that because it means I save money all around! Amazingly enough, each ball can clean between 60-90 loads and is free of detergent, soap and harsh chemicals like phosphorus, Boron, ABS, LAS or SAS. They are very easy to use, you simply place one ball with small loads, two for medium and 3 for large ( or if you have hard water), then run they washer as usual. Remove from washer when finished and place in the sun or a cool dry spot.

FatCatGreen Eco dryer balls lift and separate your clothes in the dryer helping to achieve a fluffy and soft end result. Since they keep lifting and separating the whole drying cycle they actually reduce during time by up to 25% PLUS eliminate the need for dryer sheets or liquid softener bottles and keep them out of landfills! Another benefit to all that "lifting and separating" is that they reduce static and creasing too! You can leave the balls in the dryer so they are ready to go when you are.

A stain stick is also included in the set. It is simple to use, just rub on stains before placing in the washer with your laundry balls.


My Opinion:
Look folks....anything that can save me time, energy and money is something I am all over. Tie in the fact that it helps the environment and woo hoo! I tried my FatCatGreen out this week on my work laundry and have no complaints. My clothing came out clean and isn't that the entire purpose of washing clothes? I like the fact that the Laundry balls have a soft bumper around the edges so they don't bang all over the place in the washer and the fact that they are easy to find in your laundry. No hunting and pecking for a little teeny bag of soap nuts. The dryer balls are definitely a huge hit. They are a little loud and it sounds as if I have a child's shoe bouncing around in the dryer but that's okay with me. Why? Well mostly because I have the worst. dryer. ever. It normally takes forever and a day for a normal size load to dry, but with the FatCatGreen Eco Dryer Ball they were honest to Pete dry in a reasonable amount of time and did seem less wrinkled than normal. Anything that will help my clothing dry quicker AND help it be less wrinkled is A+ in my book!

BUY IT: The FatCatGreen Eco Laundry Ball and Eco Dryer ball are available in a set which includes three Eco Laundry Balls, three refill packs for the balls, two Eco Dryer Balls and on Stain Remover stick. Normally $59.95 it is on sale now for $49.95 at www.stuffjunction.com.
