BERON All Natural Laundry Detergent Alternative Eco-Friendly Wash Ball Super Laundry Balls-for 1500 Washings

I bought these five months ago and stopped using detergent. A couple of us in my household are allergic to most detergents and they cause itching and so I was looking for something more natural. I saw the ads for the crystal wash brand on Facebook and found these on Amazon and decided to try them because they were a lot cheaper. I use 2 of them in every load and our clothes smell fresher and cleaner and they even get my husband's clothes clean which is a feat all in itself. He is an arborist and just the amount of sweat alone is a struggle to wash out but then you have chainsaw oil and tree sap and multiple stains every time I wash his clothes. These honestly work better than any detergent I've ever used. I thought maybe it was in my head... until Last night I ran a load of my husband's work clothes and spaced off and totally forgot to throw the balls into the washer. I go to put his clothes in the dryer and can't figure out why they stink. Then I figured it out and washed them again and voilà they are fantastic again. It says you can use one or two and I opted for two because I've just feel more confident that the clothes are getting cleaned. I do follow the directions of leaving these in the sunshine once a month. I probably go over kill and leave them sitting in the sun for four or five hours instead of one hour. I use a Downy ball and put to the medium line with distilled white vinegar. This is supposed to help brighten colors and reduce static. And then I use heartfelt brand dryer balls. They are wool and they help with static. I drip one or two drops of lemongrass essential oil onto one of the balls, this does stain that ball where I do it but I don't care. I love knowing that we are putting no chemicals in our clothes anymore. And dryer sheets are such a fire hazard that they used to worry me. But I am one of those very anti-static people. I can't stand putting on a shirt and having it stick to me. The system works! Our clothes are so much cleaner than they ever have been. Give these a try... You won't regret it!

I use the washer ball and generally add a TBL of detergent because I like the fragrance. My clothes are very clean, and my detergent use has diminished greatly. Thank you!

Not bad of a product. I use it in my top load washing machine with out the agitators and it do putting good. I want to try how it did on my dark clothes and lights & whites. The first set of clothes I tried was the dark clothes. I had a medium wash load so I drop the laundry ball in and waited to see and smell the results. Not bad all was clean except one items. Even with the one pair item it was clean but not in certain area. I feel like if a product can wash stains, under arm stain & odor or any odor that left in clothes is a pretty good product. So that one item that needed a second wash I just add it to the light and white wash. Since I had towel I added one small cup of washing powder to wash and through in the ball. When finish I notice the clothes smell more like the ball and all the clothes came out clean in that wash. All the clothes was softer and no color was not faded. The ball look hard in the picture but it really soft. So the ball can be good for the next wash. I put the ball in a place where I keep the light on. I think I will try to purchase a second ball to see if that would work better than one ball. I here the ball work best in a front load washer so maybe that why that one item did not turn out like I wanted it too but the product to me do work in a top load washing machine. I also hear to keep up with the ball so some where on my calendar when I use the product because most people say the product at least last 1500 washes or close to a year. I can't say if it will save me on washing powder but I can say I don't have to use so much of the washing powder.

I have been using these balls for a few months now, and they work well for some things but not others. My husbands clothes do not come clean. And, I don't mean stains. I mean smells. My toddler's clothes come out alright, and my clothes tend to come out of the wash alright as well. However, the towels & sheets still smell "lived in". I don't know how else to put it. I don't know that I would recommend them, but I'll keep using them for my clothes & my daughter's to at least attempt to cut down on my detergent usage.

Works great! Never would have believed it until I saw it! I read the mixed reviews and decided for under $13 to try it for myself. It worked! I have sensitive skin and finding a laundry detergent that didn't irritate my skin was a chore. I even tried all the free & clear brands. Purex free & clear was the one that was least offensive. The balls actually cleaned my clothes and even left sort of a crease scent...like clean with no smell.There are 2 cons. 1, they don't come with instructions. So I combed the internet. And 2, you have to use warm or hot water for it to work best. So any clothes that absolutely have to have cold water would have to be washed with detergent.FYI... instructions: throw in washing machine and leave there, wash after wash. Take out and lay in sun once every 3-6 months for them to completely dry. Replace after 1500 washes. That's it.

It works with a light parfum of clean

So wanted to believe that these would be the real deal, but I'm not satisfied, these days of high efficiency washers the water level does not get high enough for the ball to get fully submerged so there's not enought water in the machine to go thru the ball, I washed a smalk load of towels just to see if it would work and i kept shinning my flashlight into the door of the maching, i saw the ball bouncing around but there wasn't enough water to even go thru it. I let the cycle finish and checked the load and it didn't smell good at all so I had to put soap in my machine and rewash the load. I will be returning the balls. I purched 2 of them and used both in the load. Also did the dirty white sock test and guess what ??? Still dirty! Go figure !!

I was afraid my clothes wouldn't be clean and fresh without soap, but I was wrong! The Beron wash ball is effective, non-scented, cleans, easy to use and cheap! No heavy bottles to lift and pour. Just throw it in with the clothes and off you go! Clothes smell fresh and look clean, and all I do is recharge the ball in the sunlight once a month. Great deal and I am on my 4th year of using them. Highly recommend
