There is an old spanish tradition of using an olive oil concoction. I will get the recipe. All I know is that it is easy to make, looks gloopy and makes your washing smell great!!! better than surf jiji
Will post recipe when mate comes back to uk next week.

Nice! But the only places I can seem to find that sell these are in the UK. Does anybody know of a place in the US that carries them?

They do work – takes a mindset-shift, but give it a try. I bought two when the prototypes were first around, maybe 8 or 9 years ago – they last pretty much forever. I do still use eco-laundry liquid at times, dependent on the load, but the laundry balls must have saved a lot of pollution by now. I recommend my washing machine as well, one of the current LG series, the only range working on direct drive. No belt to go wrong, therefore I expect it to last for 20 years at least! – the cylinder capacity is much greater because there’s no belt assembly taking up room, so you save by having larger loads, and direct drive also reduces running costs by its efficiency. Also highly recommended – go naked – create less washing!
