Why does my Laundry Egg/washing machine/
clothes smell strange?
When you have been using conventional
washing detergent or liquid for a while, the
residue left from these can build up in the
pipes and crevices of the washing machine. If
not cleaned away, these build-ups can cause a
bad odour. Your usual deter gent will mask the
smells from these build-ups. However, when
you switch to using the Laundry Egg, there is
no strong fragrance to mask the smells, so it
can be more noticeable. In this case, you should
clean out your washing machine (which is a
good 'detox' for your machine anyway).
We recommend using the ecoegg Detox Tablet
to clean your washing machine. Alternatively,
you can clean your machine by leaving the
drum empty, putting some white vinegar in the
dispensing tray and running the hottest wash.
This should help to remove the build ups. You
may need to do this several times, depending on
the extent of the build ups. If the smell persists,
you may need to clean out the pipes to the
washing machine.
Is it ok to use my ecoegg Laundry Egg
with delicates?
Yes, however we suggest that you always use a
laundry bag to protect your delicates and use
the 'delicates setting' on your machine, if you
have one. If your delicates are very valuable, we
suggest hand washing only.
How long will the ecoegg Laundry Egg last?
Approximately 864 loads when using both
eggs - which is about 4 year's worth of washing
for the average family (based on 3 or 4 washes
per week). Note: The number of loads that the
Laundry Egg will last for depends on many
factors including the hardness of your water,
the load size and the length of the cycle. 864
washes is an approximation for guidance only.
Can I use the ecoegg Laundry Egg in all types of
washing machine?
Yes! It will work great in front loaders, top
loaders and twin tubs. One Laundry Egg is
normally sufficient for approximately 5kg of
washing, the capacity of a standard domestic
washing machine. If you are using the
Laundry Egg in a larger machine (such as
a super capacity), you may need to use two
Laundry Eggs.
Why isn't my ecoegg Laundry Egg working as
well as I expected?
There are some steps you can take to make sure
you are getting the best from your Laundry Egg:
• Make sure you are not overloading your
machine. The Laundry Egg needs room to
move around in the wash.
• Make sure that your washing machine is not
set to use the minimum amount of water.
• Whilst the Laundry Egg works well on
most everyday stains, just like with normal
washing detergent, there may be the
occasional stain that requires extra help.
A 'pre-wash' or 'in wash' stain remover can
be used as normal. This will not affect the
performance of the Laundry Egg in any way.
• The Laundry Egg contains no harsh
bleaching agents. If you find that your
whites are not coming out as bright as you
are used to, try adding some eco-friendly
laundry bleach to your white loads.
It is important to remember that the Laundry
Egg does not contain any harsh chemicals and
therefore cannot be compared to the clean of
conventional biological washing detergents
that can contain toxic chemicals and bleaching
agents. The Laundry Egg is a much more
natural alternative which is kinder to the
environment, your skin and your pocket.
Also, it is important to remember the amount of
money you will be saving by using the Laundry
Egg. For every day, worn once and minor
stained clothes, using a concoction of toxic
chemicals is an unnecessary waste of money.
The Laundry Egg can save you a great deal of
money - please refer to the 'ready reckoner'
chart at the front of these instructions to
calculate approximately how much you will save
by using the Laundry Egg instead of your usual
washing detergent or liquid.
Can I use the ecoegg Laundry Egg if I have a
septic tank?
Previous customers with septic tanks that have
used the Laundry Egg have not incurred any
problems as the Laundry Egg leaves almost no
residue in the water. However, please note that
we have not conducted any scientific testing
with septic tanks so this may not be the case
for everyone.
Can I continue to use water softening tablets
with the ecoegg Laundry Egg?
Yes, they will not affect the operation of the
Laundry Egg in any way.
