Smart thinking EcoBalls are hypo-allergenic and use ionized oxygen to remove dirt molecules from cloth. Winner of the Hong Kong enterprise award in 1996, the Ecoball costs about 3p per wash (saving users £165+ per set), at 5 washes a week they last over 3 years, they save water as you do not need a second rinse cycle to remove the detergent, they are not tested on animals and they minimize colour fading. They also extend the life of your washing machine as there is no chemical or detergent buildup. Navigation: Green Living > At Home 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 9 > 10 > 11 > 12
