ecoegg products Reviews 288

Bought at a garden centre last year half price for £6

I should first state I don't remember the last time I had visible stains on anything (children have left home) so can't rate the product on its efficacy on those.

I have the larger yellow egg that is apparently good for 300 (?) washes. As I have a large capacity machine (10kg) I just do two washes a week, 1 of linens and towels and another of smalls and clothes.

I usually add half a scoop of vanish to each wash and always use fabric conditioner (except with towels)

No issues 9 months in and have only had to use liquitabs twice (when washing household rugs).

I estimate in over 80 washes has saved me over £30 in detergent costs.

My girlfriend recently got me another one as an Easter present...get it...EGG?🐣

So should be good for another few years!!

I would imagine if.you are dealing.with washes with grubby children's stuff then it probably wouldnt work...but does for me!!

We have been using the washing eco egg for over 4 years now, and it's brilliant. We add new balls every few months, and usually wash on a 40 deg C wash and with a bit of vanish for the harder stains, its so much better for the pocket and the environment. Would recommend 100%.

I bought my original eggs, one white and one colour in December, it's now March and I have bought refills for them both. I live alone, just wash my own clothes which don't really get that dirty, but I do find the product works well for me and I would definitely have spent more on traditional products, so saved there and on plastic bottles as well.

Perfect easy to use and eco-friendly and the clothes smell good too

So I thought I would give this a go as it states it's good for allergy's.... Well my 2 year old daughter has got such a bad reaction. Swollen eyes and lips and red raised blotches all over her body that is very itchy which has now led to eczema..... We were in a&e in and out for 4 days.
I am not all all happy with this product... It also has no smell. Didn't get rid of any stains. I would avoid...

I thought this was such a great idea, cost effective and eco-friendly. However I'm hugely disappointed as it really doesn't do the job, so with great reluctance I'm returning to more conventional washing products.

Been using EcoEgg washing machine alternatives for at least a year now (convinced it was working). With the first wash I ever did with the egg, my clothes came out smelling amazing - just how I expected - but ever since then I've not smelt anything on the clothes at all. I still see stains that are easy enough to wipe off with my fingers (meaning the egg should be able to wash it off), and it just smells damp/doesn't feel fresh.

It's such a great idea but so disappointed it's not living up to the expectations I originally had.

I was so excited to find this seemingly perfect product - money saving and good for the product. Sadly it’s been a real disappointment. Yes it lasts for the correct amount of time but the washing doesn’t smell fresh (tried orange blossom and linen), and it doesn’t remove any food marks. I’ve had to give up on it which I’m sad about as now I’ve got another bit of useless plastic in the house.

Whilst the idea is highly commendable, I have found that the standard of cleaning, even keeping temperature up at 40’, is not very good. Stains left on clothes, napkins etc.
I would suggest Using the scented option, as it makes the clothes smell cleaner.

I’ve been using the eco egg in my washing machine for a couple of months. I use a 30° wash which takes about an hour. So far so good but I will watch my whites per the reviews but it has certainly coped with grease stains on clothes, I just dab a bit of vanish on the stain pre-wash. Also brilliant on mud. Don’t understand people’s need for scent on their washing - the best scent is fresh air! Dry outside if you can but most artificial scents dissipate quite quickly anyway. Cheaper, works well so far and takes up a lot less space than powder or capsules.

I bought over £40 of Eco Egg products and do not recommend them at all. The fragrance sticks are falling out of the dryer eggs after every cycle, and after using the washing egg, it doesn't leave my clothes smelling of anything but damp. There's no fragrance, even after using the detox tab, and clothes are coming out of the machine dirty. Really disappointed because I had hoped the product would be as good as advertised - unfortunately not. I now have lots of spare fragrance sticks and boxes of pellets that I'll never use.

I have had my eco egg for a few months now and I think it is amazing, cleans and is good on fabrics.
It's not ok to use the quick wash option. I have had to alter my washing methods. I now use the programmes that specify synthetics, cottons, wool etc and usually put the t
emp to between the 30 an 50 temp, I have previously used the quickest cycle possible, my cycles are now usually the 2.5 hour cycles
I no longer use it for my whites, terrible on whites. I go back to standard powder and high temp wash for those
I have a used dettol bottle that I put two capfuls of neat dettol in and fill with water. In every load I add two capfuls of this dilution to the powder drawer. I have been doing this since the start of the pandemic and before I used the eco egg
I still add cap of softener
I have found that it has improved some of my fabrics/woollens. I have an aged hand knitted cable jumper. The wool was a bit taut and was a bit shrunken. The egg seems to have released the structure somehow and it seems 'released'. It appears to be the length it used to be, which is great beacause I love my scrag jumper. Not getting any bobbles either

We purchased the dryer ecoeggs. The first ones the fragrance sticks keen falling out after a couple months. we purchased 2 more and the same thing. Then contacted ecoegg a few weeks ago and not had a response.

Bought this product on a recommendation from a friend. It delivers on removing stains but we're both active people and it's not removing general body odour/smells from the clothes. Pretty disappointed as if this worked it might be a great alternative.

I initially wrote a review as was impressed... However 3 months in and after persevering with it we are giving up. Whites are no longer white, more of a grey/cream colour and having to re wash alot of items. Have used the same wash cycle all the way through but it's not for us anymore, I want my clothes clean and having to re wash defeats the object of being economical.

Bought the egg after the tv programme, cleaned the machine and started to use but clothes do not come out of the machine clean or fresh. At 30 degrees there were dark stains on the clothes and I had to re wash. At higher temperatures clothes did not seem clean at all. We would have loved this product to work but sadly will not use again and will now contact customer services.

First impressions are good . Clothes came out clean and fresh , didn’t need to use my normal softener either . It’s a big thumbs up from me 👍

I posted here recently regarding the eco egg washing method and thought I should update my post. Eco Egg is a non bio washing product, those in the "know" will realise that non bio is not as good as biological detergents. I accept this, I use softener as I've always done plus a half portion of Oxiclean if the clothes are stained - pretty standard I think. The results are good but noticed that you have to dry the items more quickly than usual or they can smell a bit musty. Brilliant NO but does the job if you keep the pellets topped up i.e. don't leave it for 50/70 washes, I've found it's more like 30/40 washes.

Love my Eco Egg, I don't use the dryer one so can't comment. That being said I love the eco aspect, I use the non-scented refills and have no issues with them at all.

I love my egg and my daughter has just started using one too. I am not a fan of strong smelling powder or softener, so the lack of smell is a positive for me.
