    Question Laundry Balls?

    Has anyone used those eco laundry ball things? (thats not the brand i have but they look similar). Ive just bought some & im using them for the first time with some cloth nappies, but the whole machine is full of soap bubbles, i only put one ball in (thank goodness!), i didnt think they had soap in them but they have made the water soooo bubbly. it says you can leave them in for the rinse & that they dont leave any residue but im starting to not believe them!

    has anyone used them before?

    I used them for quite a while. They did bubble up occasionally, I suspect it may be residual soap in the clothing/nappies. I never worried about it, and always left them in for the rinse. They were quite good. I don't use them any more as I found my whites were getting grey, and we have a lot of whites!

    thanks Melinda! im only planning on using them for nappies, i just thought maybe with something like that you wouldnt have to strip wash them so often since its not meant to leave a residue.
