Super Wash Ball Set of 2 Laundry Cleaners with 1100 Washes
A link below to a product I haven't seen before...
I have no connection with this product whatsoever but am considering trying it.
From the link below:
I would appreciate comments from a chemical/environmental perspective. Seems from reviews from customers at QVC they do work. Clothing stains apparently must be pretreated with a stain remover. The ceramic balls must be put outside to dry periodically and eliminate any odors. Otherwise, no detergent required!

My comments:
From the reviews, saves money, always nice.
Maybe reduce phosphate run off into waste water and oceans?
Does basic [alkaline] water produced help to balance acid rain??
Any effect of basic water on clothing longevity...natural versus man made fibers [say cotton, nylon for example]...on wrinkles...??
Wonder if the 'ceramic' makes noise in washers..especially front loaders.
Can this eliminate the musty smell in some front loaders [like mine] eliminating the need to 'wash the washer' once a month or so with a special cleaner.
Soap has some effects on bacterial growth...How does alkaline water compare??

Ditch the detergent... Super Wash Balls are designed to clean your laundry as effectively as detergent for up to 1100 loads. Made with all-natural, chemical-free bioceramics, they're designed to change the alkalinity of the water into basic water through oxidation reduction. Basic water has much smaller molecules that can easily penetrate through your fabrics and wash off any dirt for fresh, clean clothes load after load.
