Come on! Who wouldn’t want to spice up their laundry routine?!
I wasn’t exactly looking for a change to my routine but while I was shopping on one of my favorite sites, Alice.com, I stumbled upon the True Green Laundry Washing Ball
I know what you’re thinking. Didn’t she try out a Laundry Ball about a year and a half ago and not end up liking it? Yes, I did.
But, this company had a video…a very convincing video (I posted it below). I took the bait and bought 2 plus the dryer balls. It’s research after all ;), someone has to test it out and see if it is really as good as they make it sound.
I’m going to use it for 45 days and let you know how it’s going. Then, I’ll update you in about 6 months. In the meantime, if you haven’t checked out Alice.com you should. It’s been very convenient for me and I couldn’t resist the free $10 and free shipping–but be stronger than me and don’t add things to your cart you don’t really need :)

Are you still using the hard rock detergent? is that working out for you?
Autumn Beck says
No I’m not. Our hard water became a real problem. I switched to Tide and haven’t had problems since.
jessica says
Yeah it sounds pretty cool but I like my detergent I know that they are clean when they come out of the wash
yuly says
Did you finish your experiment with this True Green Laundry Ball??? Is it conveninet for cloth dipares???
Autumn Beck says
In the long run, no. I’d stick with detergent for a truly clean diaper.
Kristina says
I will be a first time mom in November and am considering using cloth diapers. I saw your recommendations for newborn diapers, but wondered which cleaning system you use. Are you using this Trugreen ball to wash the diapers? How do you rinse the diapers off? Do people still ‘dunk’ them in the toilet or is there a sprayer you attach to the toilet? And where do you store the diapers as they’re drying before you get enough together to do a load in the washer? I feel a bit overwhelmed starting out! Thanks for any help!
Autumn Beck says
Kristina, I encourage you to browse the site a bit more and use the search box.

I bought the beegreener balls at the Vancouver show. I was really skeptical and the girls working there were really nice so I bought some and low and behold they really do work! Thanks girls!
Dawn Marie says
They suggest that you don’t use hot/warm cycles.
You use cold water because it diminishes the magnet affect that brings to the
cleansing process.

I am interested in how this turns out. I was on Alice.com, saw this and decided to google it. That is how I ended up here :)
Katiesniche says
So, you use this ball and no detergent? Not even for diapers?
Tina says
Wow!! This is cool….if it works :o) I’m really looking forward to your review on these. They sound too good to be true.
Heidi says
My concern is that they recommend to use ONLY cold water with these washer balls. I wash my diapers in HOT water. And any load that has underwear in it, gets washed in at least warm water.
Autumn Beck says
I wash everything in cold. I wonder why they say to only use cold though.
Support says
You can use the warm and hot settings with the laundry ball but it is normally not necessary.
jen says
I want to try this. I’ll have to check it out.
To the mama who needs to switch diapers – we use kissaluvs and Flips.
The size 0 is still fitting at 6 months.
B says
Too bad they don’t ship to Canada!
Autumn Beck says
I AGREE!
shannon says
beegreener.org sells a washerball that rocks. No dead animals at my house.
shannon says
Oh and they ship to canada because they are canadian
Melissa says
I saw those a few months ago, and I’ve been reading reviews, but haven’t been convinced to try them yet, so I’ll be very interested to hear your opinion (especially how they work on diapers).
Farah says
i recently had a baby (2.5 months ago) and the cloth diapers i used with my first (now 20 months) is not working well for the second baby. The second baby is long and lean and skinny mini legs. Have any suggestions of diapers that I should try?
