I’d like to know your thoughts on using microsuede rather than the bamboo to sandwich the Zorb. Do you think it would work just as well?

Do you use 1 layer of Zorb or 2?

I saw that Amazon sells “zorb” at a better price and I wonder if it is the same as Wazoodle’s. What are your thoughts on that?

I’m researching what to use to make new inserts for my fuzzi bunz my main concern with Zorb is the durability how long will it last and will it have stink issues down the road like microfiber does?

Kris, I am skeptical but please let us know in 3+ months how it still performs. My skepticism comes from my experience with the Laundry Ball.

My discovery: Green Wash Ball—a no detergent laundry ball!

Let me tell you about my latest discovery. I was ease dropping on two very chatty women in line at the local market the other day. They were discussing a new way of doing laundry- a non detergent laundry ball! They mentioned that this “ball” changed their laundry lives. What a cheaper, greener alternative to doing laundry? I was extremely skeptical. How can a plastic ball without detergent clean my clothes? The concept to me was unreal!

I decided to take the women’s advice and take one home instead of my usual (heavy and not so eco-friendly) detergent. What the heck? I’ll try it out! In the long run, if this thing worked I would be saving some money. Who isn’t up to saving money in this economy?

That same evening, I started a load of my husband’s grimy gym clothes. I was bound and determined to prove the ladies from the market wrong. The outcome was amazing and against anything I have ever believed! The Green Wash Ball cleaned the gym clothes I think cleaner than I have ever seen! Okay, so the product worked for the gym clothes but I was still not 100% sold. I then tried my one year old’s formula covered, foul and dirty laundry. At this point, the product cleaned the clothes beyond my wildest dreams! I was blown away! Whatever the technology behind this little Green Wash Ball was- it worked and I was sold and amazed!

Today when I go to the market, I will be the one running around talking to any woman that would listen about this new way of doing laundry. Hopefully, I opened some skeptical housewife’s eyes to my new discovery. Please, check the product out- it changed my laundry life! In over one year the ball will have saved me over $100!

Now that I have been doing this a bit longer, I should update what I wrote earlier. I have also used microfiber now, and it seems to work just as well as zorb, but is thinner. microfiber is cheaper and also easier to get a hold of. They sell it in the automotive section at places like Target. All in all I like the zorb, it has held up well, but I like Microfiber a little better.

In order for Zorb to withstand washing it needs to be sandwiched b/w two materials. When that is the case it can be against the skin. The doublers I have are b/w bamboo. I put them against Paisley’s skin if using them as doublers.

is it okay if it is in contact with skin? everyone seems to be using it as an insert for a pocket or as a doubler. I need to make more inserts for my dipes, but the insert is up against the skin in our diapers. I don’t want to use it if that is the case!

I purchased 2 laundry balls after reading your first post.. I loved them for the first two weeks.. Then I noticed one ball had alittle less than the other.. So I let it go for another month, (6 weeks total) by this time 1 ball was nearly empty the other FULL.. It was weird..
I emailed them and sent pictures of my 2 balls..
And they replied with “we will send out a replacement right away..” and they did.. I recieved it a week later .. but I’m not sure they work either…
On the zorb,
I also ordered that and I think it worked about the same as microfiber.. I was dissapointed and didn’t reorder..

I was on the fence about buying a laundry ball. I think I’ll wait a little longer now.
