Does This Laundry Ball ACTUALLY Work?!

We got a WonderBall™ from Mystic Wonders. It promises to all but eliminate the use of laundry detergent. Does it live up to that promise? DirtFarmerJay gives you “the dirt!”

Because of the content we’ve produced about our front-load washing machine, we’ve had a lot of conversations with our viewers about various laundry products and their effectiveness.
Recently we found out about Wonderball™ laundry balls and had a great conversation with Fern, who is the inventor of the product. She’s been offering these laundry aids for many years and is quite passionate about her product line.
She sent us a set of laundry balls, as well as another “ball” product that is placed in the dryer to help keep items separated and fluffed for quicker drying and less wrinkles. We’ll take a look at those another time.
The Wonderball™ is a bit smaller than a tennis ball, is plastic, and is filled with a proprietary liquid mineral blend.
Ms. Gunderson indicates the product works through physics. The package states, “The frequency-enhanced mineral blend in the ball creates an energy field when agitated in the machine. When this energy meets with the water, the water is in its best cleaning state. It is the water that does the cleaning. No detergent is needed.”
Whether or not this sounds like “alternative thinking”, we put it to the test. We found that the product worked, but that it was helpful to pre-treat stains or heavily soiled areas. Indeed, that is in line with what is also stated on the package: “Ms. Gunderson dilutes hair shampoo for ring around the collar and personal stains. For kitchen and outside stains, she uses diluted dish soap.”
To use the Wonderball™, simply load your washing machine as you normally would, and pretreat any small stain areas as stated earlier. Place the ball in the tub, and run the cycle. When the cycle is complete, remove the articles and leave the ball in the tub for the next load.
We were pleasantly surprised at how clean the clothes turned out. Fern indicates that a ball will last about 3 years before needing replacement. She indicates that the product helps water be “wetter”, boosting its cleansing power. So far so good. We think it’s worth a try!
At the time of filming, the price of a Wonderball™ was $42, or 2 for $70. They are also available in a kit that includes one laundry ball and two dryer balls for $53 for one, and $90 for two.
