{Review & Giveaway} Robby Wash Ball - US

If you ask anybody, I am the laundry freak over here.  I am the ONLY one who touches anything that has to do with cleaning our clothes.  Friends have came up to me and said that they are comfortable coming to my house, taking a shower and use our towels because they KNOW I make sure everything is clean and fresh before I just hang something up or put it away.  I was even told that I smell everything that has to do with laundry.  I can't help it though.  I want my family to smell fresh & clean and feel like what they're wearing is soft and comfortable.  Dingy, dirty and stiff does NOT fly in my house.  I do laundry about 1 time a day, AT LEAST.  Sometimes 2x's.  We go through HUGE containers of liquid detergent like its NOTHING! I spend about $30 or more a month on laundry agents.  With the help of us saving loads of money in almost every aspect in our lives, I never thought of laundry until I ran across the Robby Wash Ball from Oransi.   I was sent a Fuchsia Robby Wash Ball, which is suitable for water temps 0-30 degrees.  So, for me, that's only my dark washes.  

Packaging & Storing:   The Robby Wash Ball came in a package with easy to understand instructions, three refills of the laundry solution, a stain stick and a filled up Robby Wash Ball.  After each use, I just take the Robby Wash Ball and store it in our closet with the rest of the laundry things.  We live in an apartment so I cannot just leave my Robby Wash Ball downstairs in the washing machine.  But, if you had your own washing machine, you could easily just keep the Robby Wash Ball inside your washing machine (HE or Top Loader) with the lid open so it can air out properly.

Scent & Sensitivity:  The laundry solution balls smell so fresh and clean!  There is a VERY slight aroma of lemon.  I can't figure it out but it smells so good!  The Robby Wash Ball is great for sensitive skin for anybody of all ages, including babies!  I was going to test the Robby Wash Ball on our cloth diapers, but then decided it wouldn't work.  Why? Because I only wash with HOT water and in that case, I would need the Blue Robby Wash ball which is effective in Warm or Hot Water Temperatures.

How to Use:   I have had the Fuchsia Robby Wash Ball for a few weeks now.  What I'm trying to say is, I have used the wash ball about 14 times.  Since I have the Fuchsia Robby Wash Ball, I can only use it with cold washes, which is our colors.  So, I load the machine up with our nasty smelly dirty clothes (hey, I live in a house full of boys and a man!).  Obviously not overfilling the machine.  Then, I toss the ball on top of the clothes directly under the stream of water where the machine fills up.  If you want to add softener, go for it!  I have washed with the Robby Wash Ball with and without softener.  It does not require that you use softener or stain fighters so you can skip all that.  But, the problem I faced was, some of my thinner shirts got kind of a static out of the dryer.  So, after about 6 washes, I started to use softener which helped a lot.

Stain Fighter?:  Honestly, we are pretty good at keeping stains at bay.  The only stains I ever see are on our whites so I haven't put the stain stick to use yet!! Although, I am going to use the stain stick on some whites I just pulled out of the dryer today.  Thanks chocolate milk! You stained my sons white T Shirt =]

Price:  $32.95 for a whole year of washing!  That's if, you wash one load every 3 days & you are guaranteed a whole years worth of washing!  $32.95 is what I spend a month on liquid detergent, stain fighters & softeners!

See.  One Robby Wash Ball = all those detergent bottles.  Count them. No wait, there's no point.  Just know that the Robby Wash Ball is worth it! 

Rating:   4/5  With the consideration of me having to purchase softener to use with the Robby Wash Ball {because I'm crazy like that but you really don't need to use ANY at all!}, I am perfectly okay with that!  All in all, the clothes come out CLEAN!!! No highly perfumed Scent what so ever is left on the clothes (if using NO softener) so like I said, GREAT for sensitive skin, and the lint catcher in the dryer proves that the clothes come out SOFT!  I had never taken lint out of the dryer that felt so soft like luxurious cotton! LOL.  I'm NOT kidding!
