Green Washing Can Beat the Blues

It’s a great idea to try to be as eco-friendly as possible, but it can be difficult to combine your conscience with cleaning convenience and efficiency.It’s all very well being Green, but not so attractive if your wardrobe or sheets smell or haven’t been washed properly.That’s particularly true with kid’s clothes, which do tend to get more wear and tear and more mud and dirt than the commuter-stained clothing grown-up’s might wear.

Eco gift ideas that help solve that dilemma come no better than a product called eco balls. Voted one of the “Ten Best Green Household Products” by The Independent no less, eco balls deliver great cleaning results and environmentally friendly washing.They effectively replace washing detergents of any kind, but still produce excellent laundry results.Lasting for as much as 1,000 washes, the hypoallergenic eco balls produce ionized oxygen that activates water molecules naturally and allows them to penetrate deep into the fabric fibres to lift the dirt away.

The eco balls are also antibacterial, effectively killing Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus Aureus.   Eco gifts like these are not only chemical-free and environmentally friendly, they also prove that being cognisant of the environment can go hand-in-hand with saving money too!Using them will save a remarkable amount of money when compared to leading washing powder brands.  They also soften clothes without needing fabric conditioner, so you can save money there too.The eco balls operate just as effectively on a cold water wash, reducing electricity costs and water bills to save even more hard cash as well as the planet.

Once they are cleaned to your satisfaction, the washed and died clothing can be stored in equally eco-friendly circumstances.  A laundry basket made from seagrass or bamboo will keep your clothes conveniently ready for ironing or wearing in a container that will allow them to breathe naturally and is made from eco friendly materials as well as being sourced from co-operatives supporting fair pay and rights for workers.
