Do you know what chemicals make up your washing liquid, tablets or gel liqui-tabs? We at BuyEco are no scientists, but suspect that the chemicals and process involved in making these laundry dirt destoyers aren’t the best thing for the environment.

Ecozone developed EcoBalls as a refillable eco friendly laundry kit that saves you money, water and makes your laundry more eco friendly. Simply pop one of these ecoballs into your washing machine instead of washing powder and they will unleash ionic cleaning power to penetrate deep into clothing fibres to lift away dirt without fading bright colours.

Each one of the Ecoballs contains a small amount of what looks like dusty pebbles, and its these pebbles that are the secret to eco cleaning power. The Ecoballs are reusable for up to 1,000 washes and cost only around 3p per wash, compared to 25p to 30p for washing powder.

100% hypoallergenic, residue-free and anti-bacterial, Ecoballs do not contain soap so you can also cut out the rinse cycle to save energy and water.

Renewable energy in a fun package. We loved playing with the Bat Torch, and we think you or your children will too. The torch is a hand-squeeze operated flashlight in the shape of a cute little bat.

It is cute, brightly coloured, and suitable for children. It’s ideal as a night lamp and educational at the same time. Teach children not to use batteries but generate electricity by themselves.

As well as normal flashlight operation, the Bat can stand in an upright position, in order to act as a nightlight.
