SmartKlean Laundry Ball

SmartKlean® Laundry Ball is a non-toxic, mineral-based alternative to conventional laundry products. Say goodbye to laundry detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets – for good!

 

Active Components
Using natural Earth minerals, magnets and a gentle agitation with weight, it provides a 100% natural and effective wash. When the laundry ball and its interior components come in contact with the water, it forms oxygenated water with an increased pH level, to help remove dirt, odors and bacteria in fabrics.

 

Reusable for 365 Loads
Efficiently washes 365 loads without the use of any soap or detergent. Maximum potency lasts an average of 1-3 years, depending on how often you wash your laundry. If you wash once a day everyday, the laundry ball's lifespan is 1 year. 

 

Compatible with All Washers
SmartKlean is compatible with top loaders, front loaders, and HE (high-effieciency) washing machines. It is also septic tank friendly.

 

100% Free of Toxins
SmartKlean’s active ingredients are 100% free of harsh chemicals including surfactants, toxins, ABS, LAS, SLS, SLES, formaldehyde, ammonia, chlorine, glycol solvents, phthalates, artificial colorants, petroleum distillates, pesticides, fragrances, phosphates, parabens and allergens.

 

Reduces Your Carbon Footprint
• Replaces dozens of plastic containers per year
• One laundry ball prevents tons of chemical waste from entering our oceans, waterways and aquatic ecosystems.
• Interior components (earth-mineral ceramics and magnets) are quickly biodegradable.
• Exterior shell is a recyclable #7 "thermoplastic": an eco-friendly rubber-like alternative to regular plastic.
• Leaves no trace in aquatic ecosystems.
• Reduces energy consumption from the production and disposal of plastic containers.

 

Net Weight: .8 oz

1 Laundry Ball is recommended for standard home washer capacity loads of up to 18 lbs. (8 Kg). 

 

2 Laundry Balls are recommended for larger home washer capacity loads up to 36 lbs. (16 Kg).

 

3-4 Laundry Ball recommended for industrial washer capacities loads 36lbs and up.  

 

Easy to Use
1. Place it in your washer (compatible with HE and Top Loaders) on top of your laundry (only load 3/4ths of laundry to allow laundry ball to freely move around the washer). 
2. Run a cycle with a 3/4ths of the washer full. No suds means there's nothing to rinse, so you can set it for quick wash or a shorter wash cycle.
3. Let it do its magic – and voila! Keep it in the washer for the next wash.

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEST RESULTS

Before using the Laundry Ball for the first time, please clean your washing machine. Over time, detergent residues, scum, dirt, and mold can accumulate inside your washing machine and cause stains and/or decrease the laundry ball’s ability to clean at its full potential. Do this first.

 

How to Clean Your Washing Machine (Front OR Top Loader)
1. Top Loaders: Fill up the washing machine with hot water and pour in 2 cups of white vinegar (organic recommended). Let it sit for 1 hour then start washing machine and run through a complete cycle.
HE/ Front Loaders: Pour vinegar in soap dispenser and run machine through a complete cycle.

2. When the machine drains if it still has grime on it, use a sponge and scrub it down really well. Add straight white vinegar to the towel or sponge for best results. Front Loaders: Also wipe the rubber seals between the door and the wash drum.

3. If necessary, repeat by filling up the washing machine again and pour in 1 cup of baking soda. Let it soak for 1 hour. While filling up the machine, use Q-Tips dipped in white vinegar to detail small hard to reach areas and soap dispenser. Clean knobs and lid too.
 

Repeat every 12 months or as needed to keep your washer, laundry ball and clothes in top condition!

 

How to Use Your Laundry Ball
1. Always follow fabric care instructions. Wash colors and whites separately.
2. Pre-treat any stains before wash.
3. Place the load together with the laundry ball inside the washing machine.
4. Set to wash with COLD water. Do NOT use hot water. Heat may damage or reduce the lifespan of the laundry ball.
5. Start Wash.

 

Maintenance
• For best results, place the laundry ball in the sun or dry area of the home for 1-2 hours every 15-30 washes (approx.) in order to fully dry and recharge the laundry ball’s mineral ceramics.
• Do not exceed 2 hours (in the Sun) as too much heat may damage the enclosure.

 

For Whites
SmartKlean DOES NOT contain bleaching agents. Natural whitening aids are recommended to use with the laundry ball.
Tip: Hydrogen Peroxide is a natural mild whitener. Per full load, pour in 1 cup to soap dispenser. Do not pour directly on clothes.

 

For Stains
Check laundry for stains before washing. Many stains need pretreatment. Inspect wet garment before drying to be sure stain has been removed.
Use SmartKlean Stain Remover or your favorite stain remover in conjunction with the laundry ball.

 

Hard Water
Hard water makes cleaning products less effective. If your laundry ball is not cleaning properly, add cup of Borax per full load. For large capacity machines, use a cup per load. Baking soda will also soften and condition water (use same amounts).

 

Want Fragrance?
• OPTION 1: Once the load is dry, before removing it from the dryer, drizzle about teaspoon of your favorite essential oil on a small cloth, throw it into the dryer and run the dryer on a NO HEAT setting for about 10 minutes. Your laundry will be heavenly scented for days!

• OPTION 2: Those that line dry can add a 10-15 drops to a cup of water and pour it into the soap dispenser during wash.
