Laundry Revolution (10/29/08)
You can eliminate chemicals from your laundry routine by using "eco-balls," or "laundry balls," instead of detergent. These Saturn-shaped spheres contain magnetic pellets, which produce ionized oxygetn, enabling the water in your machine to penetrate deep inot your washing and draw out dirt, while softening fabrics at the same time. Fans claim that the only things eco-balls won't do that detergent and fabric conditioner can are provide an artificial fragrance for your clothes, irritate your skin, fill up your cabinets, and empty your wallet.
