"Save the Earth" additions to the Jackson Household

This weekend we added 2 products to our household in our adventure to help "save the earth"

I heard about the Blue ridge Eco shop on Preston Ave in Charlottesville from the Albemarle Family Magazine. This past weekend we finally had a chance to check out the eco friendly store. The staff was super friendly and was amazed that Timia talked us into trying to save the earth. I was blown away with all the chemicals that are listed on the back of your dryer sheet box so this weeks addition was a set of "chemical free"dryer balls. We will be adding many of the eco products to our household one by one.

Dryer Balls

The dryerballs mechanical softeners have different tensile strengths and different shaped softening nodes. They work together in the tumble dryer to mechanically soften fabrics without the harmful chemicals found in fabric softener and dryer sheets. The dryerballs® lift and separate the laundry whilst drying, thus reducing drying time and creasing. The dryerballs® softeners also retain the heat and transfer it to the clothes as they tumble, further speeding up the drying process.

There is no need to add a chemically laden “softening” dryer sheet or use fabric softener in your wash. Place both dryerballs® softeners in the tumble dryer and operate the machine at the usual heat setting for the fabrics. Dryerballs® mechanical softeners are re-usable - just leave them
in the tumble dryer to get the benefits time and time again!

Price: $17.99

(I know, but they last for 3 years)

Info from Blue Ridge Eco Shop website

At Sam's club we found Ecos all natural laundry detergent with soy based fabric softener and only cost $12.00 for a bottle that washes 210 loads in our front load washer.

Not to mention it is:

*Petrochemical free

*Formaldehyde free

*Dioxane free

A little change is better than no change at all
