Never heard that but I do remember OMO
Now now granny.c, it were a red light before that, mind you I don't knowwhat they did during the blackout, jambutty may know. Anyway what are soap balls when there at home? we had mothballs.Remember The Old Joke... About Putting A Packet Of Omo In The Window,,,,it Meant Old Man Out.....
I've been googling them and they sound quite interesting. I might have a try of them. One page I looked at said you can use the same ones several times.
I had the washballs still got them somewhere. They could be used up to 30 times i think ive lost the leaflet that came with them. But went back to using soap powder because they didnt get some of my mums stuff clean.
I use them all the time for nappies - no bleach or nasty chemicals - no nappy rash! I get mine from Simply Soap Nuts. From under £10 per kilo delivered! Chemical free laundry. Fair Trade.. I pay £6.99 inc postage for 500g. Very informative site.
How come a 'gingerwilliam' based in Somerset is selling the same on ebay for £5.99 incl postage for 500g - if you are that same gingerwilliam (who I bought mine from) and this is your only posting on this forum, this post MAY be regarded by some here as spamming.(we dont take kindly to that here, even though I like the product and hope more begin to use them)
Ps Simply Soap nuts is based in Taunton Somerset - so I suspect that this really is spam (unfortunately)

Hey Margaret,, well spotted,, 
no Spammers on here please

Margaret R, interesting though how he has been able to connect you to this site , I don't believe in coincidences like this (presumably you bought your soapnuts on-line) , doubt very much that you would have mentioned the 'Accy-web' when placing your order.
Maybe the more technologically advanced members can tell us if such a tracking system is possible without 'hacking' into someones e-mail
thanks

It spooked me too - he had my name and address in order to post them to me - maybe he just googled 'soapnuts Accrington', and found Accy Web
It is a shame he resorted to spamming - the product is good enough not to get 'stained' by tactics like that.
Gosh - just logged in to see how the thread was going - I'm amazed!
I chose gingerwilliam as a screen name because my young son is a carrot top and - you've guessed it - he's called William.
I can see how your suspicions would have been aroused, but I live in Aberdeen and I've never shopped on Ebay in my life - let alone sold anything on it!
This is a great web site and I stumbled on it by chance. I intend to keep popping in - it's just so full of good stuff. I also believe in keeping forums "clean" and if the administrators would prefer to delete my previous threads - that's fine.

I am relieved you are not a spammer -we have been hassled and even sabotaged in the past -so I hope my apology and explanation is acceptable to you
Welcome to our community
Whew! Many thanks - didn't want to be branded an undesirable!!
Has anyone had any joy with those ball things that go in the washing machine? Is there anything inside - or are they just plastic balls? Or what?
Weird! We'll all be on the river side in a minute banging our laundry on a rock!!

There are 2 sorts of washballs - one sort are solid plastic and the other has a hollow interior filled with a laundry product.
I have tried both.
The solid ones last forever but still need use of a laundry product but half as much, and are very noisy in use.
The hollow ones wear out as the contents dissolve and need replacement - less hassle than conventional laundry products.
I prefer my soap nuts.
