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!

OK, I am not a review writer. I just do not do reviews. Was not planning on doing one for the balls either. But after today, I am very happy to give the ball a review! SIDENOTE..........Since we do have hard water, I do use 2 balls, just because I have the mindset that if one is good, two would be better! I have not tried using just one. That said, the two balls were put to the test today. I bought my grand-daughter a brand new lemon yellow tee-shirt. The very first time she wore it, she spilled a "red" drink down the entire front of it! I just KNEW the shirt was ruined! I washed the shirt with a regular load of clothing today. Also, in the load was one of my very light colored nightgowns that is tee-shirt type material. About 3 days ago I dripped PURPLE hair dye on that gown. No hurry to wash the drips out, because hair dye does not wash out of clothing. So, gown just went into the laundry pile until time to do a load. Today was the day.........Washed the load and BOTH the yellow shirt with red drink all down the front and the gown with purple hair dye came out of the wash without a speck on them! I was honestly amazed at how clean they came out of the wash! The only thing I have learned over the weeks using the balls is that the machine needs to have enough water to completely cover the clothing so the clothing can move around freely in the water. My only advice for using the ball or balls would be sure to have plenty of water in the machine!

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.

So the female of the house is an earthy granolla crunch tree hugging dirt worshipper, and mentioned this thing as a way to cut out more chemicals from the household... i grew up with bleach and tide, thats how clothes get cleaned. However to appease her i decided to buy one, though had very low expectations. Seriously, how could this ball clean blankets and clothes tainted by 3 females, 1 guy, and 2 stinky drooling pitbulls?? So i threw the first load in and waited for that dreaded finished buzzer, grabbed a handful of wet clothes and shoved them in my face and sniffed harder and deeper than charlie sheen would to a line a coke.... to my surprise, there was no smell at all. Literally nothing! T worked perfectly. To be sure i used the hell outta it for 3 weeks nonstop, probably about 10 loads a week. And it worked every time. I was so impressed i bought a second one so they can be rotated. They say to leave it out in the sun to dry out fully roughly every month and youll be golden. So very very pleased with this thing!!

I've never written a review before and buy frequently from Amazon. But I had to write a review for the Beron balls, which I purchased 2 of them. Used them for a few days. Soaked them in water for over an hour before first use. Wasn't sure if they were working. Clothes smelt ok after washing. True test of them happened last night. My oldest toddler peed their pants. I put the soiled clothes immediately in the wash with a couple towels on a regular cycle with both balls. Took them out out of the washer and the clothes reeked of urine still. Was very disappointed. I would NOT buy this again.

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.

Ok, I couldn't wait to get this and once I got it I immediately got to work after soaking it in water for an hour per instructions. I am SO FRIGGIN HAPPY WITH THIS! I am amazed too. I could actually see how dirty the laundry water was since there wasn't any detergent bubbles blocking view of water. By end of cycles on laundry the clothes /linen smelled CLEAN AND FRESH! I also bought wool dryer balls for the dryer, so by end of wash and dry cycle our laundry smelled so clean, fresh and was soft. My partner was so surprised that he told me to go ahead and wash our bed linens lol. This is amazing and I'm excited to go green with laundry and save!
