Since the cost of everything has continued to rise, the price of laundry detergent has also gone up. Even when we buy it in bulk, it is a pain to keep on putting out money for detergent that you know may not be so great for the environment. And sometimes it seems like you need so much.
I will admit that I was skeptical at first when I got to try this product. I could not imagine that you could just put this ball in the wash, and your clothes would get clean. This ball is supposed to last for 12 months, and it is safe to use in water up to 180 degrees. It will clean your clothes while preserving the color and keeping them smelling fresh. And it is safer for your environment (and much nicer for your bank account).
According to their site, here are the technical specifications:

Now, in case you are wondering, I know for a fact that this works on my clothes! I had the privilege of winning one some time ago, and it lasted the year that it claims to. And I will tell you that when I got the chance to review one, I was more than ready to get this again! I had considered buying another one since mine had worn out, and I do believe that these work just as well as they claim. I have been cautious when using them in hot water--generally it is other members of my household that wash in hot water.
The thing I also love about the Robby Wash Ball is that it is so much easier than measuring out laundry detergent. We generally have large containers of detergent that are not user-friendly. I hate measuring out my detergent. Robby Wash Ball requires no measuring of any kind! Perhaps that sounds like a minor thing, but it is certainly not to me.
The exciting thing is that you have your own chance to try one of these for yourself! My wonderful sponsors have agreed to give away one Robby Wash Ball Pack (just like the one I reviewed) to one of my U.S. readers.
