SmartKlean Laundry Ball Review and Giveaway



One of the most frustrating things about doing laundry is the residue left by detergents.  Even though I would only use a quarter of the amount of detergent that the bottle called for I still found that it would build up in my washer and on my family's clothes.  Yuck.  Until now I didn't know a way around it besides washing with just plain water but all that would do would rinse the clothes; there wouldn't have been any disinfection or cleaning going on.  If I were to do that I might as well take my family outside and then just hose them down!



Then it happened!  I found a product that cleaned my families clothes without harsh chemicals or a residue build up left behind.  Relief.  This miracle is the SmartKlean Ball!  Love, Love Love it!  It is super easy to use too.

SmartKlean Ball uses 2 magnets and 4 different types of ceramic beads derived from minerals.  Each mineral has a different function for cleaning.  Together they create oxygenated water with a highers pH and therefor are able to eliminate germs, mold, and bacteria!  Find out more about how it works.

 The SmartKlean Ball is economical as well.  One ball can wash 365 load of laundry.  Yep!  You read that right; 365!  Could you imagine trying to find a bottle of traditional detergent that would wash that many loads?  It doesn't exist and if it did it would be huge.  The ball replaces not only detergent but dryer sheets as well.  So it is saving you double the money!  Check out the chart below for savings on detergent alone.


SmartKlean Ball eliminates measuring and spills.  I can't tell you how much I hate to measure detergent.  With the SmartKlean Ball it is easy.  You just toss it in the washer and that is it.  You don't even have to remove it when the load finishes.  Just leave it in the washer for the next load.  Doesn't get any easier.  I am sure many of you are wondering if it works with high efficiency (HE) washers, as I myself wondered.  Great news!  Yes it does.  It works with front loaders, top loaders, traditional washers, and HE washers.  So unlike traditional detergent it is versatile and even if you move from a traditional washer to HE as I did you won't have to buy new detergent, as I did.




The SmartKlean Stain Remover is absolutely fantastic!  As with the SmartKlean Ball there are no harmful chemicals and is super gentle on your laundry.  It is even hypoallergenic.  I wanted to do a test to see how good it actually worked and was surprised at the results.  I marked a pair of khakis with marker, pen, chocolate, and blue Popsicle.  If you have kids you know these are all things kids get on their kids regularly and are tough to get out.  So I think it was pretty brave to put these items on clothes intentionally especially a light colored clothing like khaki.  The SmartKlean Stain Remover did a great job getting out the stains.  I was impressed!  Don't believe me?  Check out the before and after pictures below.

The first trial I wasn't so brave and only used marker.  Came out pretty good don't you think?


Next I rubbed marker, pen, chocolate, and blue Popsicle on them and still came out fantastic!!

  The last thing I want to touch on is the ecological footprint it has.  For every SmartKlean Ball the amount of chemicals that go down the drain is reduced by 8-16 GALLONS.  That is a huge amount!  Can you imagine if just 100 households replaced their regular detergent with a SmartKlean Ball that would save the earth from 800-1600 gallons of Chemicals.  Since the SmartKlean Ball is about the equivalent of 20 to 40 containers of laundry "soap" then it will save all that packaging too.  It will also reduce energy and other resources used to make the containers.  I think one of the most staggering and interesting Eco-friendly facts is since the SmartKlean Ball is not soap and does not need a rinse cycle it can save 6,000-8,000 gallons of water per SmartKlean Ball!!  Not to mention the energy it saves!

So lets recap: 
Saves Money
Eliminates Chemicals
Helps the Environment
Easy to use
Kid Friendly

  4. Ah this product, according to the website says, leaves no trace in our aquatic ecosystems. My kind of product!! Biodegradable and doesn't much up the landfills (any more than they already are), and the fact that it's equivalent to 20-40 containers of laundry products means that it is saving on our pockets too! What couponer wouldn't want to grab one of these!
