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 think this set needs to find it’s way into my home. Hate dryer sheets. This would be wonderful.

I would love to get rid of all those detergents and things and just have three little balls to deal with. The mess, the caps not put back on all the way, (thanks to kids) the constant trash, the clutter. All gone! Plus I would love to not have soap in all my sheets and towels. Imagine how much softer they would feel without all of that junk in them! You know it never really rinses well enough in a rinse cycle.
We have some very stinky clothes, and if I can get them clean without chemicals and detergents, hoowahh!
I’ve been thinking about doing the Simple Dollar’s laundry detergent recipe. This sounds so much easier.
I’d love to try these out. With two kids we go through lots of laundry, and we’re always trying to be more green!
I’d love to try and see how well it works!
I wanna try! I just can’t get past the no detergent. I’d have to see it to believe it!
I assume you’d have to be pretty vigilant about your pre-treatment, but it’s something that I’d definitely be interested in looking into…
Aaah, i read that the ‘energy field’ reduces the surface tension of the water. How, i have no idea, but that is how detergent works, as well…if i can figure out how whatever is in the ball creates that energy field, I would be willing to admit that this could work!
I would love to solve this mystery. I’m such a scientist…i need to know how things WORK before I can believe in them!
I’d like to try it too!!!
