ecoballs any good?

[shesmurf]

The title sounds dodgy I know but it's an innocent question!

Just wondered if anyone else has used these? We're going to be using Terry nappies so lots of washing and the ecozone balls look good in terms of being kinder to baby skin and env. but I've tried lots of different eco products over time and they don't always do such a good job. Ecover washing up liquid for instance - I just ended up using triple the amount I would have with fairy liquid!
I don't want to spend £30 on something that might be used twice then stuck in the back of the cupboard forgotten about and eventually chucked out in a years time but it does sound good...

Hey! I use them and hey are fab!!! Well worth every penny! So much kinder to skin, etc. Still antibacterial too so great for nappies. I agree the washing liquid is a bt rubbish, but these are really good. Ony thing that takes getting used to is the clothes not coming out smelling of washing powder! Can add a drop of essential oil if bothered though. Mine came from john lewis, they do price matching so were a bit cheaper xxx

Trial size (150 washes) Pack of two, £8.30 - http://www.stainesandbrights.co.uk/acat ... BALLS.html

I think the full size ones do about a 1000 washes or something...

We use them as James is a bit sensitive (!) and they're great. Sometimes make the washing machine smell a bit cos there's not perfume in them but we still do the occasional wash with detergent (OH's smelly shirts!) which solves that problem!
