It's great that you bought a laundry egg and took a small step towards a more ecological lifestyle! How will you get the most out of the laundry egg in the future?
- Stay tuned for the washing power of the pellets
You received a washing counter with your purchase. This is the most convenient and easiest way to stay on track, no matter how many machine loads you have already washed with the laundry egg. The counter works in such a way that when you use the laundry egg or change new pellets into it, you mark the start date and every time you wash a load of laundry, you cross one egg off the table. When you reach 70 washes (the number of washes in the starter pack), you should buy laundry egg filling pellets. The refills are sold separately, so you don't have to, and it's not worth it, to buy a new egg every time.
If you haven't received a counter or have forgotten to fill it in, it doesn't matter! There is a line in the middle of the larger half of the laundry egg, if the pellets go below it, it is time to change the pellets.
- Raise the laundry egg to dry with the clothes
Do not leave the laundry egg in the machine or in the drawer waiting for a new wash, because it needs to be allowed to dry just like the laundry. You can even put the laundry egg on top of the washing machine to wait, because it's so cute that you don't want to put it in the drawer.
- The laundry egg is also suitable for sensitive materials
Wash white and embroidered clothes separately and follow the instructions for washing clothes.
- Do not wash machines that are too full
The laundry egg and the laundry need space to move in the machine so that the end result of the washing is uniform. It is also important for the washing machine that you do not wash too many machines, so that the washing machine does not break down before its time. However, it is not ecological to machine wash only a few clothes.
- More fragrance!
If you like your laundry to have more fragrance, try laundry vinegar. Fabric softener is not suitable for use with laundry egg, but ecological laundry vinegar is fine. For example, if you want your towels or sheets to have a little more fragrance, laundry vinegar is a good option.
Dryer eggs are also a good alternative to sheets and towels, if you have a dryer or a drying washing machine. Dryer eggs speed up the drying time by up to 28%, and at the same time, the scent sticks inside the eggs give a fresh and long-lasting scent to the laundry.
- Tip: Try the laundry egg for hand washing as well!
It's easy to take the laundry egg with you to the cabin with your hand laundry, because it certainly won't spill into other things. Just soak the laundry egg for approx. 5-10 minutes in the washing water before washing. After washing, rinse with clean water or water with a little vinegar added.
