Eco-Balls

We have been having issues with washing, nappies in particular. Mom is worried that it is costing too much for the cost of running the machine, and she is worried about the amount of washing powder used to wash the nappies. You are supposed to use a reduced amount of detergent to wash nappies, because it will effect the absorbency.

After doing some research and consideration, I have decided to use eco-balls. I got some from amazon at the weekend, they arrived this afternoon, just in time for a nappy wash!


These balls are good for 150 washes, which will save us money. You just put them in with your washing, put it on quite a short wash and they do their stuff! And they are a more natural alternative as they don't pollute the water with any toxins etc.
Oh and a plus for nappies, they shouldn't get clogged with detergent therefore strip washes won't be required.

The Verdict

Well the water was soapy so they were definitely getting washed.  They aren't fragranced so I added a few drops of essential oils.
The nappies came out clean and smelling beautifully.

All clean!!

We will see how we get on with them on a permanent basis now!
