It's also ultra-quiet and has an auto-shutoff when the tank is full.

Doing lots of DIY normally results in doing lots of laundry afterwards, so here's a handy laundry gadget. Completely replacing washing detergent, this product is great for sensitive skin, the environment and will save you so much money. There are three different washing pack sizes which consist of the 54 washes (three months washing for the average family), 210 washes (one year's worth) and 720 washes (last you up to three years). It's independently clinically proven to wash clothes just as well as a regular detergent. All you need to do is place it in the drum of your machine on top of your laundry and wash as normal. So simple to use and it works in all types of washing machines. It's safe on all fabrics and you can put it on all temperatures up to 60 degree Celsius. You don't need to add in anything else (powder or liquid) as the two natural cleaning pellet types inside the egg work together to give the powerful cleaning results.
