SMARTKLEAN Questions & Answers

Is the SmartKlean Laundry Ball safe for those with sensitive skin or skin disorders?

Yes! The SmartKlean Laundry Ball is 100% hypoallergenic and provides the most natural wash without leaving any residues behind. Some people have seen their eczema and psoriasis clear up as a result of using it.

Does the SmartKlean Laundry Ball keep white laundry white?

SmartKlean does a wonderful job at cleaning colors and whites but it does not contain any optical brighteners, bleach or other whitening agents. Some like to add powdered bleach (like Oxiclean) to help get whites really white or to combat stains. You can find an article on our blog that provides many natural alternatives for toxic bleach products: Read how to whiten laundry without bleach.

Will the Laundry Ball remove stains?

The laundry ball does not contain any added whiteners or enzymes to help with stains, so you will need to pre-treat stubborn stains prior to washing. Use SmartKlean Stain Remover or your favorite stain remover in conjunction with the laundry ball.

How long will the SmartKlean laundry ball last for me?

The SmartKlean laundry ball will last about 365 washes. It lasts about one year for the average user. View our lifespan chart (PDF) which shows the lifespan of our product according to different wash schedules (for example if you wash once a week or ten times a week).

Can the SmartKlean Laundry Ball be used with laundry detergents?

This is not necessary, but yes it can. This will not affect the laundry ball.

SMARTKLEAN FACT! Saves loads upon loads of energy !

SMARTKLEAN FACT!

Saves loads upon loads of energy !
Skipping the rinse cycle not only conserves water, it conserves energy as well. In addition, the laundry ball effectively washes all fabrics in cold water. Since a whopping 90% of the electricity used by washing machines often goes to just heat the water, the laundry ball can save a significant amount of energy throughout its lifespan. www.smartkleanlife.com / EATWELL CONSULTING / SMARTKLEAN LIFE wishes everyone a SAFE and HAPPY Memorial Day !

SMART KLEAN FACT ! One SmartKlean Ball can save 6,000-8,000 gallons of water!

SMART KLEAN FACT !


One SmartKlean Ball can save 6,000-8,000 gallons of water!
Without any suds or soapy residues, there’s nothing to rinse out, therefore you can skip -or- start from the rinse cycle. Most washing machines use 10-20 gallons per rinse cycle, therefore, depending on your washing machine, one laundry ball can save:

• 6,000-8,000 gallons of water with a Traditional Top Loader
• 2,400-6,000 gallons of water with a High Efficiency (HE) Front Loader

SMARTKLEAN FACT ! One SmartKlean Ball is equivalent to 20-40 containers of laundry products.

 

SMARTKLEAN FACT !

One SmartKlean Ball is equivalent to 20-40 containers of laundry products.
SmartKlean replaces laundry detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheets. Although some of the packaging for these products are said to be recyclable, the sad reality is that they are ‘down-cycled’ and more often sent straight to landfill. According to the Plastic Pollution Coalition, 93% of plastics are not put into recycling bins. In addition, their manufacturing processes are often toxic and consume large amounts of resources. The clear advantage of our laundry ball is that it is extremely reusable. Its recyclable enclosure consumes much less energy to be produced and once it is recycled, it can easily be reused and molded without losing much quality. Its strong, durable material is free of BPA and PVC. www.smartkleanlife.com

Static Cling? Don’t waste your money on icky, toxic dryer sheets! Here are 3 natural solutions....

Static Cling? Don’t waste your money on icky, toxic dryer sheets! Here are 3 natural solutions:

1. Damp Rag: Put a damp rag into the dryer at the end of the dryer cycle.

2. Safety Pins: Seriously, we had never heard of this before, but we gave it a shot, and it worked REALLY well. Just pin two safety pins on two different items in the dryer and everything comes out static free!

3. Vinegar: Just pour about 1/4 cup of white vinegar into the fabric softener dispenser on your washing machine. You should have no need for a dryer sheet — and NO, you can’t smell the vinegar.

What works the best? Hands down, the best solution {in our opinion} is combining the vinegar and the safety pins. Plus, it’s eco-friendly — and practically free!

Extra Tips
Another thing we learned is washing your clothing less frequently also helps to reduce static cling. The winter tends to increase static in clothing. Fleece jackets, polyester pants, and nylons are most prone to static cling. For whatever reason synthetic materials are more susceptible to static than natural fabrics like cotton.

So, if you can, try to wash your natural fabrics separately. When washing your clothes made of synthetic materials try pulling the clothes out of the dryer while they are still a little damp to prevent them from over-drying, after all, dry conditions are a breeding ground for static, so moisture would be the obvious antidote. www.smartkleanlife.com

BEWARE OF THE "BOOTLEG" IMITATIONS

Exaggerated claims of washing 1000 loads

After testing several laundry balls sold on Amazon, we found that most wash with the same potency up to the 50-60th load. Then after this short period, the clothes were slightly odorous or were not fully clean. This is because these imitations often contain added surfactants (a substance used in detergent), and even harmful SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) which can dissolve and wear out the ceramics quickly. The remaining minerals on the ceramics may continue to clean but not as powerfully as the first several uses. SmartKlean® does not contain any surfactants or SLS. www.smartkleanlife.com

DID YOU KNOW ?

2% of a garment’s weight comes from laundry detergent residue.
Nothing is closer to our bodies than our clothing. We wear fabrics all day and sleep in them at night. Regular laundry detergents leave residues in your clothes and linens after every wash. It’s easy to verify this by smelling them. Smell detergent? That’s not mountain spring you’re smelling in your laundry, it’s a concoction of different chemicals. Your skin is like a sponge and it constantly absorbs these harmful chemicals into your bloodstream.  www.smartkleanlife.com

Beware of Cheap Imitation Laundry Balls!

SmartKlean® is composed of high-quality, hard to find mineral ceramics and a strong, eco-friendly enclosure. Our product has received excellent independent reviews from well-respected publications and websites. The outstanding quality of our laundry ball is the result of a long product development experience and of our constant will to improve it in order to satisfy our clients’ expectations.

Imitiation SmartKlean Balls

As it is the case for most products of high quality sold under well-known brands, SmartKlean’s laundry balls are now being counterfeited on Amazon.com. The imitation SmartKlean Laundry Balls can be very harmful in the trust relationship we have with our customers.

In fact, the packaging looks almost identical to ours, but the laundry ball is of very poor quality and does not meet any of our quality and selection standards. The imitation SmartKlean ball uses a shiny and flimsy plastic enclosure with no blue logo seal. The authentic SmartKlean Laundry Ball uses an enclosure that feels more like rubber than plastic.  www.smartkleanlife.com

HOW IS DIRT REMOVED FROM YOUR CLOTHING ?

Do you ever wonder how laundry detergent is capable of removing dirt from your clothes? The answer is simple. Detergent helps the water clean.

Through a chemical process, detergent makes surfaces more susceptible to water and increases its pH levels, making it easier for the water to remove the dirt from the fabrics. The downside is that most of the chemical ingredients used to achieve this are toxic to your health and the environment.*

The SmartKlean Laundry Ball uses an innovative technology designed to clean fabrics through a physical process instead. On a molecular level, the water is entirely affected by its special mineral ceramics, offering a natural and powerful wash. www.smartkleanlife.com
