Robby Wash Review

Reviewing a Green Laundry Product

Tricia Goss
While it is wonderful to help conserve resources and protect the environment, an added benefit of going green is that you can save money, too. Consider that when you reuse what you already have, reduce the products you bring into your home and recycle items for another purpose, you can save some big bucks. Certain environmentally friendly products can be kind on your budget, as well.

This is certainly the case with the Robby Wash system, which is comprised of an ultra-high efficiency hypoallergenic laundry detergent ball and 10 ounces of macromolecules of laundry detergent. This little bit of detergent does the work of 75 pounds of traditional laundry detergent, which means that less harsh soap and other chemicals are going down your drain. According to the EPA, laundry detergents can be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms. When you consider the impact of 75 pounds of detergent compared to 10 ounces, you can see how much greener the Robby Wash system is.

Then, of course, is the cost comparison. For under $35, you can buy the complete Robby Wash laundry package. This includes the Robby Ball, which is a small plastic ball that fits in the palm of your hand. It is about the same shape and size of a Downy Ball, but rather than having a single dispenser, it is completely vented to distribute the detergent. It also includes four packets of detergent pellets, which will clean 120 loads of laundry, and a stain stick to remove tougher stains. Depending on the brand of detergent you currently use, this could save you a good deal of money. It will save time and effort as well, since you can simply leave the ball in the washer and forget about adding detergent.

You might be thinking that the Robby Wash is only a good deal if it works, though, and you would be correct. After testing the kit on several loads with average stains including food, dirt and other run-of-the-mill grime, the Robby Wash passed the test for my family. All of the loads have been clean and fresh, although they are not as fragrant as they tend to be. This is not to say that the laundry has an offensive odor after using Robby Wash. Rather, the fabric simply smells clean but not perfumed. Another benefit of Robby Wash is that the detergent is hypoallergenic and gently enough to use for baby diapers, clothing and blankets. If you have an over-sized washer, you may need to use two Robby Balls simultaneously.

Overall, the Robby Wash kit is a smart buy for anyone looking for laundry solutions with minimal environmental impact who also wish to save time and money. To purchase the Robby Wash kit or to learn more, visit the Oransi website.
