Those who have been doing housework for a long time know various tricks and subtleties of this matter. And, of course, many of them already know how to do really high-quality laundry. Typically, various products are used for this, added during the washing process. Unfortunately, many of them contain substances that have a bad effect on human health.
There are also special powders and other detergents that are intended for people with allergies or for children's clothes. They contain fewer or no harmful substances. But it also has its downsides. For example, the quality of washing decreases. That is, some stains may simply not wash off. And many people have already seriously set out to find a method that will help them wash more efficiently and will not be harmful.
These days this question is very relevant. By the way, in this article we will talk about how to minimize the amount of various substances added during washing or not use them at all. And an interesting new product will help us with this - laundry balls.
Types of balls
In modern stores you can find many types of similar balls. There are magnetic ones. There are those with many holes. There are others that resemble massage rooms and so on. Based on functionality, they can be divided into several types:
- Laundry balls with tourmaline.
- For washing and drying.
- To remove pellets.
- Magnetic for washing, etc.
Tourmaline laundry balls
They are quite expensive. And they represent an interesting development.Judging by the information that is presented about them on the Internet, despite their high cost, by purchasing them you can really save money. They should help you do without washing powder and other products for about two to three years.. That is, when using them, you don’t have to add anything at all when washing. How much do you usually spend on washing powder over two to three years? Savings are obvious.
These balls look like a round plastic baby rattle. Inside the plastic case there are small spherical objects. They are made of ceramics. And with their help, our miracle ball washes clothes in the machine.
The properties of a laundry ball are usually explained in rather complex and obscure scientific language. Without going into detail, their positive effect on washing can be explained as follows. Those balls that are inside the large ball contain tourmaline and a lot of other minerals. To be more precise, about 80. And these substances disinfect and make water better when washing clothes. They also bring the pH level to a level that is similar to the level observed when washing with washing powder. Thus, you can do without adding detergents when washing. This water, when washed with a ball, receives alkali, which, when in contact with dirty laundry, can become soapy and perfectly removes dirt.
In addition, when using laundry balls, ions that have a negative charge enter the water. When exposed to them, water easily penetrates into the very depths of various tissues and washes away all the dirt. Balls containing tourmaline are recommended for use with underwear that comes into contact with our skin.
How to use tourmaline beads?
- Before washing for the first time, gently hold the ball in the sun. They say it energizes him.
- After each wash, the ball must be allowed to dry completely.
- You cannot set the temperature on the washing machine above 50 degrees.
Reviews about the balls
Reviews about this invention are both positive and negative. By the way, their cost can be quite different. In some places they are sold for just a few dollars, in others for several tens of dollars. We believe that those balls sold very cheaply simply do not have the properties that tourmaline balls should have. And they are a banal fake. There are a lot of negative reviews from here.
The original balls are produced in South Korea. The costs of their creation are not small. This is why real working balls cannot be as cheap as their fakes.
If you decide to purchase such balls, then you should be wary of their Chinese counterparts. The set includes two balls. And their cost should be at least $75.
People who bought cheap balls for a few dollars note that the washing quality is not as advertised. Moreover, some things have become dimmer.
There are also positive reviews about Biowashball balls. If you believe them, then the products made under this label do their job very well.
Balls for drying and washing clothes
They look like small balls with pimples. It is for their appearance that they are nicknamed hedgehogs. You can usually find them in hardware stores. They come in 2 pieces. included. They have a fairly modest cost. That's why they are quite popular.
How do they work?
Both balls are thrown inside the machine along with the laundry. During washing, they hit the items being washed, and sometimes get between individual items, which allows air to circulate more freely. In general, their use improves the quality of washing and drying.
After analyzing the reviews of these products, we can say the following:
- Some people who use these balls noted that things wash better. In particular, they are highly praised when used with things containing fluff.
- There are also people who have not noted any improvement and believe that drying and washing balls do not harm, but do not bring any benefit either.
Balls that remove pellets
They are made of polypropylene and have many small loops on the outside. These loops comb out woolen and other items and prevent the appearance of pills. In addition, they collect small debris. And thus they help the drain pump filter become less clogged. They also remove pet hair from linen and clothing.
In general, people speak positively about this product and note that no pilling appears during washing.
Magnetic laundry balls
A fairly new and modern product for those who are concerned about the issue of harmless washing. They are made from natural materials. There is a magnet inside these balls.
For washing you must use at least 6 balls. In some cases, you can use 12 pcs. Firstly, during the washing process they work mechanically. That is, they hit things, this helps to knock out the dirt. Secondly, they make the water softer. And this, in turn, improves the quality of laundry washing.
One of the downsides is that they knock quite loudly during washing.On the plus side, you can spend much less washing powder. The quality of washing also improves.
