The Story of EcoEgg
EcoEgg was founded by Dawn White, who struggled with eczema herself. Her search for a skin-friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional laundry detergents led to the creation of the EcoEgg Laundry Egg in 2014. This innovative product uses special cleaning pellets, offering an ecological and plastic-free substitute for regular laundry detergents. The EcoEgg Laundry Egg eliminates the need for plastic detergent bottles, saving around 40 plastic bottles each year. Additionally, EcoEgg offers a 10-year guarantee on their Laundry Egg, making it a sustainable and cost-effective choice.

How Do I Use the EcoEgg?
Using the EcoEgg Laundry Egg is simple:
- Fill the egg with the included cleaning pellets (both the white and black pellets work together!).
- Place the Laundry Egg into your washing machine drum; one egg is enough for a 7-8 kg load.
- Make sure the washing machine isn’t overly full, so the egg has space to move around and clean effectively.
- The pellets in the Laundry Egg last for up to 70 washes!
Once you’ve reached 70 washes, it’s time to replace the pellets. This eliminates the need for detergent or fabric softener, benefiting both the environment and your wallet.
