Hi, recently in the saturday Times, i saw advertised a 'lakeland limited
catalogue'; 'wash-it laundry ball' at £7.99 plus 2.99 postage. it says you
can use it 80 times. apparently it causes the water molecules to release
'charged' oxygen and hydrogen ions which then attract the dirt so it ends up
in the water.
the Times journalist says that it works well for her. (but she misses the
smell of fresh washing, so she then adds a little fabric conditioner to give
a clean washed smell).
does such a thing really work? obviously at £11 for 80 washes it could
save a lot of money. is this a good thing to get please ? Or are there
even better and/or cheaper versions of the same thing that are worth buying?
thanks for any advice.

According to reviews on the internet it does work although some people say
it is not all that good with washing white items and does seem to have some
problems with stains, hence the 'free' stain removal stick.

These are universally regarded as a hoax.

Water works as well.
