Has anyone tried the new Oxi Ball that goes in the washmachine for like a month at a time...no detergent just an oxi ball in a round cradle... Does it work?

I got one a few weeks back and it works great IMO.... I don't use it for dh's work clothes though (he does construction) but other than that I have no complaints. There's a link to a free coupon to try it..... lmk and I'll post it for you (if that's allowed )

I'd love a coupon to try it!

Don't know if a link is allowed (I'm kinda new here, at least posting wise ) but if its not I'd appreciate a pm. Thanks!

I've used it, too. No complaints here, either. I hope it works great for you, too.

The ball is the detergent. My SIL used it and says her clothes stink afterward, she won't use it anymore. The ball only lasts about 25 loads.

hmmm... I didn't think they smelled bad at all, just that oxi-clean smell. With as much laundry I do one ball lasted me about 2 1/2 weeks. It says to replace the detergent ball when it's the size of a golf ball but I'm just gonna save up the little golf ball sized balls and put a few in together. I did print out about 10 of the freebie coupons : so I should be set for awhile

No I mean she complained that it wasn't cleaning her cloths. They still smelled like BO/cigarette smoke etc after being washed.

Don't waste your money- I did. The clothes did not get clean. Think about this- if the way the detergent is "unloaded" from the ball in the wash cycle by agitation- how is it any different in the rinse cycle. All you are left with is residue in your clothes.
I wash my whites in very hot water so all I got was 13 loads out of the ball.
Threw the cradle away after the ball was gone. It only lasted 6 days for me.
Back to the tide...
