Eco-balls - are they worth the money?

in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
Trying to be environmentally friendly, I'm trying to cut down the amount of chemicals in my home. I've heard about using Eco-balls as an alternative to washing powder, but I'm a bit skeptical that they work.
Has anyone tried them? Do they really get your washing clean?
Are they worth the huge initial outlay for the long-term saving?

Thanks.

    Hello lynseyr1


    In the 'MoneySaving Old Style' board, there is a thread which has four pages of posts to help you to decide.

    Wash balls - Laundry balls - Eco balls

    Regards

    I tried these a couple of years ago and was not impressed,washing looked like it had just been washed in water,and no nice fresh smell either.

    Thanks for your help.

    I tried a search first but it didn't come up with anything. Will read the other thread. Sorry to post something already posted.
