An Eco-Friendly and Cost Conscious Laundry Alternative


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.

  1. I would love to be able to cut the cost of detergent and fabric softner and help the environment.
    My husband comes home from work with some nasty looking shirts and I would like to try this and see if it really works.

  2. I’d love to try it to save myself the pile of money I spend on laundry detergent. I have four boys and LOTS of laundry going on. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  3. I’d absolutely love to win this set. I use cloth diapers, and I have to use alot of detergent to get them to smell fresh,(on top of using baking soda, vinegar, and line drying) but my son has very sensitive skin, and even the “free and clear” detergents cause a rash. Even if I don’t win I will most likely look at buying a set, but the cost is a bit prohibitive right now as we are on a very limited income.

  5. My husband and I are in the process of buying and house. As a result, we will have a washer and dryer of our own for the very first time! Of course, we have to buy them, as well as pay for various other small home improvements, so we are also looking to save money everywhere that we can. I think this laundry system would help with that.

  6. My husband just discovered that liquid softner and dryer sheets actually accomplish the same thing and there’s no need to use both… I prefer neither.

  7. I would like to win because I always seem to realize I’m out of detergent about the same time I realize I’m out of clean clothes!

  8. Due to allergies I can’t use dryer sheets. I would love to try these balls in my dryer, since I can’t use the dryer sheets!
