Numerous reports show that the coronavirus pandemic has turned us into more ethical, more environmentally conscious consumers, and helped us focus our minds on creating a better and healthier world.
If you’ve become more environmentally conscious and you’re looking at the household products you and your family use, why not clean up your laundry act with a kinder-to-the-planet alternative?
With spring cleaning on the horizon, and all that laundry, it’s a great opportunity for an easy green swap. Ecoegg offers you a simple and greener laundry alternative with its ecoegg Laundry Egg, ecoegg Detox Tablets and ecoegg Dryer Eggs. It’s an innovative – and unique – egg-shaped, eco-friendly laundry washing system.
Reduce plastic
Switching to the ecoegg Laundry Egg and ecoegg Dryer Eggs is an easy eco-swap for the shopping basket. The ecoegg Laundry Egg replaces both washing detergent and fabric conditioner – replacing all those single-use plastic bottles. The Laundry Egg is refillable so you can reuse it (in fact the egg case comes with a 10 year guarantee!) and reduce your single use plastic, and it’s cost efficient per wash so saves you money. It also makes doing the laundry easy and convenient, just pop the egg in your machine, and it gives you super clean laundry.
As it uses non-biological pellets and no harmful chemicals to clean, the Laundry Egg also helps save tonnes of chemical laden washing detergent from washing machines going down the drain and polluting water systems – giving a more environmentally friendly wash. The Laundry Egg also won’t fade colours or leave residue on your clothing either!
Washing machine detox
Detoxing your machine will give you the best laundry results and help keep your machine in tip top condition. Tip: detox your machine every month to keep it functioning at its best.
It’s also important to detox your washing machine before you start using the ecoegg Laundry Egg, to remove previous build up from chemical and fragrance laden products. The ecoegg Detox Tablet, which comes in the ecoegg Starter Kit (and can also be bought separately in packs of six), will remove limescale, build up and bad odours, plus clean and clear the drum, pipes and all the bits you can’t easily get to.
Price savvy
It’s not just about helping to care for the planet, swapping to the ecoegg Laundry Egg is a 
great way to cut down spending on laundry products too. The Laundry Egg gives a low-cost wash, just 14p a wash and 10p when you refill. The ecoegg Dryer Eggs help to separate laundry so more air can circulate, drying each item more quickly, to reduce tumble drying time by up to 28%, saving you time, money and energy. Plus, the nodules on the eggs are designed to help soften clothes naturally, so there’s no need to use fabric softener or dryer sheets. The Dryer Eggs also lightly fragrance your laundry and help reduce creasing too.
Sensitive skin
Because it’s non-biological and works without the use of harsh chemicals, the Laundry Egg is kind to the skin as well as the environment – great news for delicate skin. Supported by Allergy UK, the range is dermatologically tested and has been awarded the ‘Allergy Friendly Product’ award and is rated ‘excellent’ by Dermatest for those with sensitive skin.
The Laundry Egg and Dryer Eggs come in two gorgeous fragrances, Fresh Linen and Spring Blossom, which contain very low levels of naturally blended fragrance oils which reduces the risk of skin irritation. There’s also a Fragrance Free option, perfect if any of the family has very sensitive skin.
A little goes a long way
If you’re looking for simple eco swaps you can make to your household shop, so you and your family can do a little more to help protect the planet, the ecoegg range is a great swap – and is proof that ditching plastic doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag!
