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 is cleaned away. Then, simply open your Laundry Egg and fill the larger half of the egg with the two types of washing pellets.
Top tip: The Laundry Egg Holder is perfect for holding your egg case when you add the pellets. Close your egg so that it ‘clicks’ and place it in your washing machine on top of your laundry. Please be advised not to use your Laundry Egg with the eco-setting on your machine unless it’s an eco-bubble setting.
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. The time before you need to refill will depend on whether you have the initial 70-wash egg or 50-wash refills, how often you put a wash on, and the machine wash cycle you choose.
Benefits
The Ecoegg Laundry Egg was originally developed for people with sensitive skin. It has been dermatologically tested on people with sensitive skin and given the result of ‘excellent.’ We are so proud to have worked with Allergy UK to hold their ‘Allergy Friendly Product’ award’ for the Fragrance-Free Laundry Egg.
The Ecoegg Laundry Egg helps to reduce your single-use plastic use. Once you’ve used your Laundry Egg for around 70 washes, you can buy Refill Laundry Egg Pellets which allow you to use the egg over and over again.
If you switch from liquid detergent and fabric conditioner to a Laundry Egg you can save up to 40* bottles of plastic each year. (*Based on 7 washes a week and 18 wash bottles.) We are proud to have been awarded the Good Housekeeping Institute’s ‘Getting Greener’ accreditation which recognises our efforts towards sustainability and reducing plastic.
It is suitable for vegans and is cruelty-free. Made without any testing or cruelty to animals, and without any animal derivatives, the Ecoegg Laundry Egg is suitable for use by vegans.
It is also suitable for handwashing. Simply place the egg to soak in water for 5-10 minutes then handwash as normal. We recommend using gloves if you are hand washing. The Laundry Egg must not be used above 60 degrees Celsius.
It is cost-effective. Not only is the Laundry Egg kind to your skin, but it is also kind to your pocket, costing just 14p per wash or 10p per wash when you buy the refills.
The Ecoegg Laundry Egg case comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Disposal
We recommend placing your pellets into your general waste bin once you have used them.

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.
