I’m constantly on the search for products that benefit both the earth and my wallet. While searching for an alternative to laundry detergent and dryer sheets I came across the Complete Laundry System. The system includes one round laundry ball and two pointy shaped dryer balls.
The laundry ball is placed into your washing machine without any laundry detergent. I wondered how this tiny little laundry ball could clean my clothes without any soap. According to the manufacturer the tiny ball creates an energy field when agitated in the machine, which thins the water and helps it move through the fibers of your clothing.
I will admit that I was skeptical at first. I stuck the ball in a dirty load of laundry with some of my husband’s stinkiest t-shirts. I thought for sure that they would still smell when I pulled them from the washer, but as unbelievable as it may seem the clothes came out smelling fresh and clean.
Then I tried the dryer balls. My husband and I actually hang all of our laundry to dry on a pipe in the basement, but we do run the clothes through the dryer on ‘air’, with a dryer sheet, just to fluff them and get the wrinkles out. My husband was very skeptical of the balls and claimed they wouldn’t soften the clothes the way he likes. We tossed the dry laundry into the dryer and added the two pointy shaped balls. Fifteen minutes later we pulled out soft, wrinkle-free shirts. Admittedly the clothes weren’t quite as soft as they are when using dryer sheets, but they were plenty soft and wrinkle free.
The best part about the Complete Laundry System is that the dryer balls are designed to last a lifetime and even more importantly they replace those awful dryer sheets! The laundry ball is designed to last at least three years or 2,000 washes, whichever comes first.

I’d love a set! I’d like to save money and help the environment by using less detergent. I have my drain line piped out into the yard so I don’t have to irrigate and I’m able to reuse the wash water. The problem is I’m still contaminating the ground due to the detergent. This system would be perfect!
I’m skeptical.
Did you try washing the stinky t-shirts without detergent OR a random “energy ball”? Because you know, water cleans things too…
I would love to get it as well. We have 4 adults and 1 baby in the house. I do at least 5 loads of laundry each week. With this system, I can reduce the chemcial we use and it is so much more enviornment friendly.
This could replace my somewhat expensive scent-free laundry detergent! Thanks for having this contest!
I’m skeptical. If the laundry ball actually works, I’d personally sell them for the company by telling everyone I know. Who wouldn’t like to do away with the ongoing cost of detergent (not to mention doing away with chemicals)? I’m very interested in seeing if it actually works.
An ‘energy field?’ Hmmm, I’d like to check that out. Scientifically. I’ve been trying to reduce my dependence on chemicals like detergent for a while now–i’d heard of the dryer balls, but not of the laundry ball!
I too am skeptical and would love to try out that laundry ball. I’d use the dryer balls too, and hope to convince my husband not to buy anymore dryer sheets. Thanks for the chance to win this great green product.

No more detergent. That’s why I would like to win!
Rini — After reading this post my husband asked me to run an experiment sometime next week. He wants me to wash a shirt in just water, then with the laundry ball, then with the detergent. He too thinks water alone would work just as well as the laundry ball.
I have the dryer balls and found they worked ok, then one day last winter one of them mysteriously dissappeared. We were working in the yard the other day and one of my friendly dogs brought me a ball to throw. Guess what it was? I’ll tell ya though, I can probably run it through the dishwasher and put it straight back into the dryer. It was perfectly intact.
