What is the ecoegg Laundry Egg?
The ecoegg Laundry Egg is a unique and innovative laundry washing system that cleans clothes effectively, using two types of pellets plus a small amount of detergent, encased in a recyclable egg.
Kinder to the environment and kinder to your skin than traditional washing detergents, the ecoegg Laundry Egg has been designed to replace both laundry detergent and fabric conditioner, giving you a greener laundry solution. The white pellets do the cleaning and the darker pellets increase the efficiency of the white pellets by reducing the water surface tension. The egg itself helps to remove dirt and soften your laundry items.

How does it work?
Firstly, we recommend cleaning your machine with an ecoegg Detox Tablet so that any residue from previously used detergents or fabric conditioners are cleaned away.
Simply open your Laundry Egg and fill the larger half of the egg with the two types of washing pellets. Close your egg so that it ‘clicks’ and place it in your washing machine on top of your laundry.
The washing pellets and egg case work together in the water to effectively draw dirt from your clothing fibres leaving your laundry clean and fresh without using alternative harmful chemical laden detergents.
The pellets in the ecoegg Laundry Egg are perfect for people with sensitive skin, as they are non-biological and do not contain any enzymes, bleaches, phosphates, parabens, SLS/SLES, palm oil or microplastics.
You’ll need to replace your mineral pellets after approximately 70 washes.

Disposal
We recommend placing your pellets into your general waste bin once you have used them. Although the ingredients are biodegradable, we have not tested the effect on wildlife and plants, so cannot recommend putting the pellets in your compost.
The pellet bags are not recyclable as they are made from a mix of paper (60%) and plastic (40%) in order to keep the pellets dry.
