Reusable Laundry Discs Eliminate Need For Detergent

Reusable Laundry Discs Eliminate Need For Detergent FARM HOME Clothes 19-4-31 You can clean laundry without detergent using new reusable "laundry discs", says Safequest Marketing, Spokane, Wash. The 3 1/2-in. dia. discs consist of small ceramic beads in a plastic "cage". Three discs are used per load of laundry. As the discs bounce around inside the washing machine, the ceramic beads release electrons which reduce the surface tension of the water. Ionizing the water greatly in-creases its ability to penetrate into the cloth fabric and lift out dirt particles. "We don't promise cleaner clothes than you get with normal detergents, but equal results at tremendous savings," says cornpany representative Don Gilbert. "You'll still need to pretreat stains and grease spots just as you would with normal detergent. We sometimes put in an extra teaspoon or tablespoon of soap for an extra boost on light colored clothes because there are no whitening agents in the discs. We never use anything but the discs on dark clothes. "The discs also prevent static cling and the need to rinse clothes. They're environmentally friendly and also eliminate irritants that cause allergic skin reactions from chemical additives, which is important to persons who have sensitive skin. "Water is the perfect solvent for cleaning clothes except that the surface tension the electrical attraction between molecules - prevents it from penetrating the fibers of the fabric. The laundry discs solve the problem by making water more penetrating without chemicals. "Three discs will clean an average family's clothes for two years - about 700 washes. The average family spends about $150 per year on laundry detergents, bleaches, and fabric softeners. We offer a 30-day unconditional guarantee. If you're not happy we'll refund your money." A set of three discs sells for $49.95 ($5.05 S&H). Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Safequest Marketing, 58 E. Rowan, Spokane, Wash. 99207 (ph 509 484-1552).
