Let me start off by saying hello! Long time no write! Can I hire someone to remind me to blog? Just someone to send me a friendly reminder. You know, “HEY NICI I ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY LOVE YOUR BLOG AND IT’S BEEN DAYS SINCE YOU’VE POSTED SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST SOMETHING NEW FOR ME TO READ BECAUSE I’M SO ADDICTED AND I’M HAVING WITHDRAAAAWWWWWLS.” That’s really all I’m asking for. And I pay in hugs, so it’s a pretty fantastic deal. To inquire, please email nicoledevon@peasandcoos.com. Remember, hugs. Payment in hugs. And some great blog material.
It’s starting! PeasAndCoos is proud to announce that the weekly giveaways are kicking off RIGHT here and RIGHT now. Aren’t you lucky that you’re here reading this? Every Wednesday I’ll be posting a new review and giveaway. Most of them will probably be cloth diaper related. And WAHMs rock so there will be a lot of giveaways from them. If you’ve got a suggestion of companies/products/WAHMs you’d like to see a review and giveaway of please, please, PLEASE let me know! Again with the email…nicoledevon@peasandcoos.com. Or comment on this. Or Facebook me. OR SOMETHING.
Now that I’ve gotten that nonsense out of the way, let me move on to the real point of this post. SMARTKLEAN. Yeahhh, buddy! Today’s giveaway features a laundry product.
A fancy-schmancy picture to show you what it looks like.
So this thing is a ball for your washing machine. And at first I looked at it and was all, “ummmmm….?” But then I tried it and I have to say it’s pretty nifty! It’s a ball filled with minerals that help the water clean your clothes. That’s what my “um” was all about. No detergent? That’s completely against everything I’ve ever thought about doing laundry! But you know what? It worked. The clothes (and my cloth diapers) came out clean!
If you want to read a little more about the SmartKlean ball, check it out here. You can find out more information on how it works, order one for yourself, or watch a little video about it.
This is the ideal laundry option for lazy moms me because you leave the thing in the washer, and wash your clothes. EEEEEEEasy. Take clothes out, leave ball in, put more clothes in, wash. Amazing! And the other cool part? Supposedly these bad boys last for 365 washes. That could be a year if you do a load a day! (But let’s get real here…is it possible to only do one load a day? Ha! I wish!) Regardless of if it lasts you a year or not, it still lasts a HELL of a lot longer than a bottle of laundry detergent. Another super awesome thing about this ball is it’s free of all that harmful crap you find in just about every other laundry detergent you’d pick up at Wal-Mart. It also leaves no residue, so it’s safe for cloth diapers-HOORAY!
The only downside? No fragrance. Which for some, may be a huge plus. But I personally like smells. For some reason I associate clean with smelling clean. While I know my clothes and diapers are getting clean from this ball, my nose is a little sad.
I’m also slightly convinced that it uses a bit of Harry Potter magic or something to get your clothes clean. Because it does, and it amazes me. Perhaps one of my super-science-genius readers can explain it to me in normal people terms?
What I’ve gathered is minerals+water=magic=clean laundry. Word.
So enter to win one, try it yourself, and fall in love! I definitely am enjoying using this little ball of laundry and think you will too! I’m using Rafflecopter now as well for your giveaway ease and enjoyment. YAY GIVEAWAYS! TIME TO ENTER!
