Love this product! – I don’t understand the negative reviews. To the reviewer who said this is a scam, have you actually tried this product? The only reason someone would write such a thing is if they are benefiting monetarily from commercial detergents which are horrible for our bodies and environment. Think about how much plastic goes into Our landfills from regular… Read more · 1
detergent. This product should be advertised on USA TV. It would put the detergent companies out of business! This is a great product and you certainly do not achieve same results with water!
Love it except for the smell – I have been using this product for a month and a similar product for 10 years. I like the way it cleans but the chemical smell that it leaves on clothes takes some getting used to. The package says that it has a lavender scent but it isn't noticeable. I will continue to use it but I wish the manufacturer could do something about the smell. Show details
Can’t believe! – I purchased the duo package on Hsn and am absolutely floored with the condition of my clothes. I have white sheets and white batiste type drapes in my Bedroom and they always turn out lovely. In Florida I believe we have hard water and so I occasionally add a few tbsp of liquid detergent (and because I have to use it up and oxi clean) and my… Read more
colored and whites are terrific. I raise parrots and so it frequently necessary for me to spot both colored and whites occasionally and I often cut up their fresh fruit and veggies and towels with no special treatment and I love this product. I’m telling everyone about how great it is ...I do admit to having trouble opening the eggs though. No allergy problems

The emperors new clothes – I have tested this myself with 3 white cloths I rubbed on the dirty patio. Washed them all 1 at a time in the washing machine. 1 with detergent. 1 with the egg. 1 with water. I found the detergent worked best and the egg and water gave the same results. Not as good but not terrible. I would like to see some scientific proof that it does something other than bash the clothes about.
Did not get out even small stains – No suds as on HSN. Came without the white egg and packets so sending another. If no better than colored will probably send both back. Not worth the trouble. Water does the same job on the clothes. I tested it!!!
Do not waste your time – Do not waste your time on this product, it is not possible to clean clothes without enzymes such as those found in detergent that remove stains and odors fully from soiled clothes. This product along with the others out there say they clean your clothes through this magic that does not happen, what does happen is that most of these require you use… Read more
hot water to make the product work properly, well hot water not only ruins clothes, sets blood stains, and also raises electricity bills but also any wash cycle just using water without the product will partially wash clothes because water in itself is a cleaning agent that removes some dirt and cleans, but not fully like laundry detergents. So this product only cleans because the water is doing a partial job, not because these do any magic. People this is the biggest household SCAM of the 21st century, do not waste your money!
Also the 5 star ratings are either ignorant reviews without knowledge into this product because they did not do their research or they fell for the scam, or because most of them are paid to rate 5 stars and give best ratings because they received the product for free or were paid, which you will see a lot across the internet.

Lipstick stains gone – I just did a load of whites, included was a white mask with about 3 lipstick stains on it. Out came the wash and no stains on the mask. I bought the fresh linen one, couldn't really smell it on the wash after, but they do smell clean. Show details
Best thing since sliced bread – I was given the eco egg for whites and coloured, and wasn’t convinced it would work.. well let me tell you my clothes come out clean, even my gardening or renovation gear. I love the idea of no harsh chemicals as we are on septic system it is perfect for this. Laundry detergents are off my shopping list. Show details
Excellent Product – As I have sensitive skin and sinus allergies, products like this are ideal for me. I also add vinegar and bicarbonate soda to my washing, both natural products. For those of you worried about the smell from the pellets, you can add eucalyptus oil, as I do with my bedsheets, or some other fragrance. For stubborn stains, nonchemical stain removers are also available. Show details
Love this! – I've been using this for about six months, doing at least one load of laundry a day. My laundry looks and smells clean. My towels seem to stay fresh longer than with traditional detergent. I'm very happy with this product!
Great saving device – Makes clothes soft, clean, towels, t shirts sportswear bedding you name it all comes out clean with no added detergent maybe the odd softner, white vinegar , lemon juice, lavender scent.these just my personnel prefences, but egg is great on its own too. Great money saver great for environment
X3 Teens Works Fantastic – I have x3 Teens and I love this product gets boy smells out of socks and brings them crisp white. While I notice the smell on clothes while wet you can't smell after clothes have hung on line which is perfect in my opinion. Have found so long as you don't add detergents to clothes with egg you don't get slimy film on clothes ie, fab softener, disenfect ant etc...
Works great for me! – I have been using the EcoEgg for about 2 months with great results. I have one for white clothes and one for dark clothes. One thing i did notice, you have to read the directions!

Bad experience!! – I know this review is to talk about how I liked or disliked the egg laundry system! This is my review and experience: When I used the pellets, I could feel a residue on the clothes like they didn't get completely clean even after I rinsed them a second time. I used them 4 more times, hoping it would get better, as I did like the idea that I… Read more
wouldn't have to buy any detergent for a long time! That was a BIG mistake! On the sixth day, I broke out in a terrible rash all over my body - similar to measles but itched worse then when I had the real ones! After I realized the reason, I contacted the company to make them aware! Asked me a few questions - after another email did admit there must have been something in the fragrance that was added to the pellets that caused the reaction and would be sending me a refund! A few days later, I got another email saying they didn't realize I lived in the US, so wouldn't be able to refund HSN, however, would offer me an exchange for another one of their products! I replied that I did NOT want anymore of their products! Haven't heard anymore! They are located in the UK - the company -(HSN), is in the US. I want to warn people if they are planning to purchase this item, better think twice! That is your decision!
ecoegg not working – I have no evidence of detergent in clear water after agitating "egg" In a bowl of water. It isn't working for me! Ok so I would not recommend this product because it does not work. I have notified hello@ecoegg.com to express my concern. As of this writing I have not received a response.
I love this product! – I love this product! I got from HSN, It works very good, if any thing I have less lint in drier! I'm done with Detergents! Now I want to try dryer EccoEgg. Thank you for making this product!
very disappointed – I was looking forward to not having to buy soap powder again but my washing just isn't clean looking. My whites are dull and all the stains are still in after washing. Tea towels are shocking, too awful to hang them on the line! very disappointed in this product, shall start buying detergent again
Update on review – I purchased the ecoegg on 12/27/16 from HSN. I opened the box on arrival but did not use it till June as I wanted to use the detergent I had on hand. I first used the pellets advised for colored clothing and that worked fine. A few days later I attempted to use the white egg for white clothing. First, I could not open the white egg and second,… Read more
there were no dark tourmaline pellets. There were 8 pks of mineral pellets with whitner and 8 pks of mineral pellets for dark colors and only one pack of tourmaline pellets in the box upon arrival. So, I can only use the colored egg for approximately 72 washes. The rest of the box is useless.....Since my review I have contacted ecoegg customer service and received a prompt reply. The problem will be resolved. I found the product itself to do everything it said it would do and have changed my rating from one star to five stars......
Caused greasy looking stains – I started using this product after it sat for a month. After about 20 washes I started getting greasy smears on my clothes which I can not get out. Very upsetting since the are on all of my hospital scrubs!! I can not get the egg open to try and put more product in it. Seems like the company is not responding to any of the post. Not sure what to do at this point since it only has 30 day refund. Very disappointed.☹
The damn thing is way too hard to open unless you have gorilla hands – I just spent 20 min trying to open the egg to no avail. Not user friendly haven't even been able to test effectiveness. Think it's going to be a dog toy.
Its the thought that counts – So i received this as a Christmas present and thought yeah cool that'll save me some money, now I've come to realise i would have been more financially swayed by this product if i had of left it in the packaging and sold it on ebay to some other poor soul. As someone who lives in a college dorm and has a communal laundry I've noticed that i… Read more
get a brand new laundry detergent smell every time i do a load of washing which is really great for breaking monotony, that is if my clothes even come out clean at all. I'm assuming you only get the amount of washes advertised if you follow the instruction perfectly, but in doing that my clothing would still reek of sweat and spilled alcohol.
After receiving this product (little over a fortnight ago) i have had to do 5 separate loads of laundry, three times to test it with the 3 temperature settings, and the remaining 2 times to actually wash my clothes, considering the washing machine is coin operated it has costed me $15 dollars to receive this gift and try to get some use out of it, far from the original cost of the product but still a waste of time,water and money.
Now i normally don't write reviews but this product is completely ridiculous and hope someone reads what i have to say before rushing to grab their phone for this amazing offer that they saw on their favourite morning talk show. If you wish to smell like you just got home from a hard day of work in the middle of summer when its July than i would recommend using this product long term, but would also recommend staying away from garlic as the smell will permeate your clothes until they receive a proper wash with real detergent.
My condolences to those who purchased this product with their own money, and my deepest apologies to my mother for buying me this product thinking it would save money.
I love Ecoegg – I saw Ecoegg on TVSN and have been using it since January 2014. I love the product in fact 'no more soap powder for me 'The Egg doesn't foam up and has no smell --that's what I love about it. I don't use fabric softener as it smells. There is only my husband and I to wash for [no little children] and he's happy with the clean clothes. Also use the… Read more
Ecoegg tube of stain remover, great product. Also I wash using the rinse cycle then spin cycle. Clothes are clean; they don't have to go through so many cycles on the washing machine. I really love this product and have been using it now for two and a half years. Would not go back to soap powder ever.

Ecoegg is a dud – After watching the demonstration on TVSN I thought wow! I have to get one. Sadly I noticed during the first wash the water did not foam up and when I removed the clothing it did not smell clean. Deodorant, perspiration and perfume was still able to be smelt on the clothes. For the next wash I made sure there was plenty of water during the wash… Read more
cycle, there were bubbles this time but only because I had used a pre wash stain remover.
Overall a disappointing purchase and I would not recommend it if you want nice clean washing which is what I normally achieve using ALDI's Alamat liquid detergent. I really wish that I had read the reviews before purchasing.
I am also disappointed with TVSN, thought they would have tested this English product more thoroughly before offering it to their loyal customers.
It cleans but that's about it – Bought ecoegg off TVSN as it looked amazing in the demonstration. I'll say this. The product does clean things, eg no more smells. But that's it. It doesn't give items any extra scents like lavender even if using the lavender balls. Also biggest disappointment is that it doesn't produce any foamy suds as demonstrated on TV. I use a fairly new… Read more
front loader, tried different settings. So guess its OK as it does clean and is economical compared to conventional products
This product did not do what was said it would very disappointed – i brought Ecoegg about 18 months ago n found that it didn't do what was advertised it would i especially found it doesn't make any sort of bubbles have tried many different ways with no success. Won't buy this product again
Love It – I have had an Ecoegg for almost 12 months and love it. I have not changed the way I do my washing, I wash at 30 deg, 40 deg or 60 deg depending on what I'm washing and what is needed. I still treat stains exactly the same as I treated them with detergent. I still give my washing three rinses, because to be fair although there is no detergent in… Read more
the washing, there is still dirty water to get rid of. I also put fabric conditioner in my final rinse. I love it and wouldn't change it.
Dreadful – Purchased the product and am very disappointed. I have real issues with laundry detergents and my sensitive skin. The Egg does not remove stains especially for the average sporting family. Total waste of money. Wished I had read reviews prior to purchasing.
First time use – I am using Ecoegg for the first time as I write. My first load of dark clothes came out OK although it does not smell linen fresh. Am doing a load of towels now. The jury is still out at this stage.
Fantastic Product – I have been using Ecoegg for a couple of years. It is the best thing since sliced bread. It is way better than any washing powder, everything comes out so clean.
bought this from TVSN broke after using it a few times did not last long – Complained to TVSN after this product broke after using it a few times. It does not clean clothes as well as a laundry detergent complete rip off when i complained to TVSN they did not even replace it after I spent $5000 on purchases with them this was the first time i complained about a product Great way to treat customers
Within 20 uses it actually starts to cause / release stains – Loved it the first couple of months until i realised that clothing started coming out of the wash stained. The clothes in question didn't have stains going into the wash - but once washed weird greasy looking stains started to appear. And they were not easy to get out. I have no clue what they are using as a cleaning agent or in the plastic… Read more
etc but the clothes were definitely not stained and come out with stains that took a lot of scrubbing with stain removers and soaking in preen for days at the time (in combination with scrubbing) to get out...
Does not work – My laundry does not come out clean, stains are still in fabric. Even light ones. Whites have now turned grey after using for 3 months. Save yourself money and don't purchase. Would never use again, gone back to liquid This is a total disgrace to claim it works
Doesn't clean as well as regular detergent – I was happy with this product for the first couple of months. Then I noticed that it no longer foamed up and the day to day stains would not wash out. My previous, expensive detergent (Planet Ark) was environmentally friendly and got rid of general stains (food spills, gardening mess, etc) without extra stain removal products. I no longer feel… Read more
confident about my laundry with the the EcoEgg, and I spend a lot of extra time applying stain removal products. This increases the cost of each load (so, 5 cents per wash is unrealistic for the average consumer). I rely on Rain water for most of the year, and only need the Mains water in summer. So, I don't believe it is the water quality. The good qualities include the reduced rinsing required. I use the fragrance-free egg and was happy not to need to use the rinse-cycle for beach towels, sheets, track suits, etc. They line dry nice and soft without rinsing, and doesn't result in itchy skin. So, it does save me money on reduced water and electricity. I just wish in cleaned better!
Ecoegg – Overall, I am happy with Ecoegg. My son has sensitive skin (eczema) and since using the Ecoegg his skin has improved hugely, even skin sensitive washing powders failed in that dept. It has worked so well that I have cut back on his eczema creams by 80%. I find Ecoegg is no good to wash dirty & sweaty clothes (gym gear, tradies clothes) as it just… Read more
doesn't get all the sweat smell and heavy duty stains out. It doesn't get the grubby marks out (eg tomato based stains, dirt from playing outside) so those things I will either save and wash with powder, or use the stain remover. I didn't actually take much notice at the time, but after I washed my son's clothes in washing powder, even with a double rinse, his eczema flared up again. The stain remover works well but it is time consuming and I think a tube would be used quite quickly, it is a shame they don't have a spray stain remover. All in all I will continue to use it as it does save money and I am thrilled with my son's skin improvement. I am now only using powder for 1-2 washes a wk (gym gear & workwear) compared to 6 or 7 times a wk for the whole family. Overall pretty happy with and I have recommended it. Works well, excellent for sensitive skin. Doesn't remove heavy stains or sweaty smell
Eco egg – Absolutely brilliant item sadly unheard of in Australian supermarkets. Great trader Show details
