How do the Laundry Egg pellets work?
The White Mineral Pellets:
Surfactants – The detergent pellets contain ingredients that are hydrophilic surfactants. Surfactants are molecules with one end that’s attracted to water and another end that’s attracted to dirt and grease. They act like magnets, with one end pulling in water and the other pulling in dirt and grease. This helps to break up and remove stains and grime from your clothes. Surfactants appear in MOST detergents as the main 'washing' ingredient.
Water Softening – The washing pellets also contain an ingredient helping to soften water in hard water areas.
The Black Tourmaline Pellets:
Water Optimisation – The black tourmaline pellets complement the white detergent pellets. They reduce the surface tension of the water, working alongside the surfactants in the white pellets. By lowering the surface tension, the water becomes more “wetter,” which means it can penetrate textile fibres more effectively, improving the cleaning process. Think of it as a team effort where the white pellets are Batman and the black tourmaline pellets are Robin, working together to ensure your clothes come out clean and soft.
Ionisation – Tourmaline pellets naturally ionize the water, making it slightly more alkaline. Alkaline water is better at lifting dirt and stains from fabrics, improving the overall cleaning efficiency.
So, while it may look like just a pretty egg, your Laundry Egg is actually a clever laundry assistant that helps remove dirt from your textiles and ensures your clothes are thoroughly cleaned and softened during each wash cycle.
The Physical Explanation
Your Laundry Egg throws a party in your washing machine each time to help remove the dirt from textiles and soften your clothes, so they are easily penetrated by the detergent pellets busily working away.
