Ecowashball ECOWASHBALL is filled with high grade ceramic pellets, which help remove dirt from the fibers and wash your laundry clean. It is not only as effective as using detergent, but also anti-allergenic. ECOWASHBALL is simply placed among the laundry in the drum of your washing machine. In combination with a little detergent, the ball washes just as clean as detergent on its own. In many cases you will find that detergent is not required at all, e.g. for slightly soiled wash. ECOWASHBALL lasts around 1,000 washes (around 4 years on average) and does not require refilling. For loads up to 5 kg a single ball will do the job, if you generally use larger loads we recommend to use 2 balls.

Seven million Dutch households together wash 1.7 billion times a year. This releases 150 million kilos of detergent into the waste water, pollutes 95 billion litres of water and uses up millions of kilos in packaging material. If the Netherlands were to use ecowasbal all through the year, 80 percent less detergent into the environment would be released and 120 million kilos of detergent, as well as many millions of kilos in cardboard and plastic packaging would be saved.

ECOWASHBALL has been extensively tested against ordinary detergents. Not only by GreenHabits itself, but also by prestigious Dutch and foreign research institutes, such as the Korean KATRI, the German Tüv and the Netherlands’ best-known research agency. In all tests concerning cleaning power, ECOWASHBALL achieved excellent results.
