The Ecoegg Laundry Egg Reviewed

Never did I think I would be reviewing a laundry product on a blog but there you go; how times and I have changed! I'm trying to reduce my size 8 foot print on the world so when I saw the Ecoegg Laundry Egg pop up in my Amazon recommendations I was intrigued.  Can I be a bit more kinder to the environment when washing my clothes?  Apparently the answer is yes!

The Price

Let's start with the price; it promised 210 washes for the Slim Jim price of £7.99...a hell of lot cheaper than the sensitive washing powder I was picking up in Waitrose.  So far so good and it's definitely saved me pennies on washing powder since I've only made the one off purchase and haven't had to replace the pellets as yet.

If you are thinking of buying an egg that has more than 210 washes, the egg is the same size however you receive more little packs of pallets which you can insert into the egg once they are no longer visible.

Eco-Friendly

I am trying to buy more eco-friendly cleaning products or using old school methods that our grandmothers used to be kinder to the environment.  The first big test came on arrival and I was pleasantly surprised that the egg wasn't surrounded by unnecessary packaging.  Gold star folks!

The Ecoegg Laundry Egg contains no chemicals or toxics!

Do my clothes feel clean?

No complaints here, my clothes are coming out fresh as a daisy and the Ecoegg lifts stains out of our clothes without any fuss.  My other half is really rough with his clothes and they are coming out cleaner now than before.

Is it good for sensitive skin?

We had to use sensitive washing powder before as G and I have very sensitive skin.  My skin can become very dry and itchy while G breaks out in spots across his body with certain washing powders.  Since using the Ecoegg, G has hardly any break outs and I have no issues with my own sensitive skin.

How does it work?

The EcoEgg Laundry Egg is egg shaped (surprise, surprise!); you pull it apart and add the balls inside.  You throw the egg into every wash (inside the drum) and it works brilliantly in a variety of  temperates ranging from 15 to 60 degrees.

Things I loved about the Ecoegg Laundry Egg?

The lack of mess; you don't need to spend time cleaning excess washing powder / liquid out of your washing machine drawer.  No spilled washing powder (I'm rather clumsy!) and it's rather price effective.  And the best bit, it's made in the UK so you can support a UK business.

Things I didn't love about the Ecoegg Laundry Egg

There is only one thing and it's the noise when you are doing a load of washing; it's pretty loud.  We have a separate laundry (uncommon in the UK but I dislike washing machines in kitchens!) so we can close the door however if your washing machine is in the kitchen, it may be a bit noisy especially if you're entertaining.

Final Thoughts

I love this product and won't be returning to using normal washing powders; yes it's a tad noisy however if putting less chemicals into our water system and saving pennies is on your wish list then don't hesitate in buying an Ecoegg Laundry Egg.

If I am to be really honest, I don't know why these aren't compulsory and all chemical based washing powders / liquids banned.  I've used the Ecoegg Laundry Egg for over 3 months now and am truly loving it...my clothes haven't faded either!

You can buy your Ecoegg Laundry Egg through Amazon and you can read more about the product via the official product website here.
