A Complete Laundry System - Wonderball Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED

This giveaway has ended.

In my effort to find all things frugal, I have been scouring the Internet trying to find ways to cut down on laundry costs. With a family of five and two pets, we have a lot of laundry. Throw in the fact that I have two of the messiest eaters, and that all of my children generally wear at least two outfits a day because of food, poop, spit-up and the like we have a lot of really dirty laundry. We do try to rewear things, and I do most of our wash in cold water. I also use very little detergent because research says that you don't need nearly as much as the little lines tell you. But, I thought if I could totally cut out detergent and fabric softener, well then I'd be golden.

So in my efforts, I came across Mystic Wonders Inc. and their Complete Laundry System. It includes one Wonder Laundry Ball for the Washing Machine, and Two Wonder Dryer Balls to be used together in the dryer. Using this system is supposed to eliminate the need for both detergent and fabric softener.

From their website:

"The Wonder Ball works through physics. The frequency enhanced mineral blend within the ball creates an energy field when agitated in the machine. When this energy meets with the water, the water is in its best cleaning state. It is the water that does the cleaning. No detergent needed."

"Together in balance, the [dryer] balls keep your clothes separated. The nubs keep redistributing the heat; cutting drying time."

The Laundry ball is good for three years, and the dryer balls are good for a lifetime! I have had this product for some time because I really wanted to be able to give it a thorough and thoughtful review.

In the end I was really surprised at how well the Wonder Laundry Ball worked. I think it works great at really getting the clothes clean without detergent. I honestly had no problem with stains, and my clothes look really clean!

I especially recommend it for parents of infants, or families with allergies because using this Laundry System means that you don't have to use any kind of chemicals on your clothing.

But, the one concern I had is that while it worked great on stains and most odors, it did not get out my hubby's BO smell. My poor husband has had serious body odor problems his whole life, and it is a chore to ensure that he smells like Old Spice everyday and not something else. So, that is the one downside to the Washer Ball that I found, however I think there are many benefits that outweigh this one fault. And, I don't think it is a problem that most people have to deal with.

I LOVE the dryer balls. I was able to cut down our drying time by 1/3, which was not something I thought of in the beginning! So now, not only am I saving money on dryer sheets or fabric softener, but also on our electric bill too! The balls do make the dryer pretty noisy, and my laundry room shares a wall with my one-year old's bedroom, so I haven't been able to run the dryer during nap time. But, I don't care, these things are awesome.
