Eco balls? I've used them, didn't always get stains out without a bit on vanish but I was happy with them but then a friend told me they don't get bacteria / germs out ??

They are okay for coloured items but whites will go grey quite soon.

I used to use them for my black/grey office trousers and they were brilliant.

I use mine with less detergent rather than none at all and find them OK.

There's quite a lot of stuff on the internet suggesting these things are a load of...well...balls.

Of course, that might just be propaganda by the soap industry, but I've tried them and my shirt collars and cuffs don't seem to get as clean as they do with soap.

The theory is that they work off the residual soap in your clothes and machine, which is why they seem to work well at first then not so well, as the residual soap is used up.

To save money, you probably get much the same result just by using less soap.
