Robby Wash Laundry Ball Review
Laundry is something I do every single day so when I find a product that cuts down on my time involved and is more environmentally friendly I’m all for trying it out. Recently, the makers of the Robby Wash Laundry Ball contacted us to review their product and we said yes!
The Robby Wash Laundry ball is essentially a re-usable ball with patented technology detergent beads inside. One Robby Wash ball (at $32.95) is supposed to last for 12 months (or 200 wash cycles) depending on how often you wash clothes. It also includes a stain stick. The stain stick works on simple stains but not so well on stains such as grass. I’ve been using my Robby Wash laundry ball exclusively for the past few months
