Ecoballs - The Eco Wash Balls


Ecoballs are designed as an environmentally friendly alternative to washing powder in washing machines.

The price works out to about 3p a wash and an ecoball will last for around 1000 washes. They are also refillable.

So what do you do with your ecoball for an eco wash?
Simply place 3 ecoballs inside the machine instead of detergent. There are no harsh chemicals to filer through to the environment with ecoballs! You can also reduce the amount of water you use with a reduced rinse cycle, which also saves electricity - YES!



More benefits of ecoballs:
- Eco Balls will not fade bright colours
- Ecoballs willnot damage clothing fibres
- Ecoballs are Hypoallergenic so suitable for sensitive skins/eczema (including babies and children)
- Ecoballs® softens clothes even in hard water. As your clothes will be softer no fabric conditioner is necessary.
- Ecoballs® are also anti-bacterial and kills Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus Aureus.

Save £10 with Eddiesessentials!
Was £34.99, now £24.99
What you get:
- 3 ecoballs
- ecoball refill
- Stain Remover
- 30 day moneyback guarantee

These seem a great idea to me for busy households, and the ecoballs can also be combined with limescale reducing Magnoballs for an even greener wash!


if you tumble dry clothes then use tumble dryer balls for faster drying and for softening clothes.

Carbon Neutral Car Insurance Quotes

I am trying to sell my car at the moment but if I did buy another one in the future I would try to go green with my car insurance!

There are a few 'Green' car insurance companies out there at the moment. A lot of people with cars probably feel a bit guilty about emissions, and rightly so. Going to a carbon neutral car insurance company makes a lot of sense these days, even for that warm smug feeling. If you can save any money at the same time then thats a bonus!

1. The Green Car Insurance Company

This insurance company offer a 100% offset of your car's emissions! You also get a 5% discount if you drive a low emission vehicle or do a low mileage each year. 5% of claims are also donated to charity which is also rather nice. We at jolly green blogger love incentives to invest in a more eco-friendly vehicle!

Lets just hope these companies do not spoil it all by mailing a tonnage of paper to each customer!

Do you use any of these car insurance companies? I would love to hear from people who do. As for me, I am giving up the car so I no longer have to pay for insurance. Ahh!
