xSmartKlean Laundry Ball: The best detergent alternative for sensitive skin
It's eco-friendly, free of harsh chemicals and fragrance, gentle on the skin, and detergent free. And it won't leave behind residue on your clothing like detergents do. It's an eczema safe laundry detergent alternative, but it's also a great option for those with psoriasis and many other skin conditions. It's natural and non-toxic, so a gentle choice for delicate baby skin as well.
How does it work? Mineral balls are filled with mineral-derived ceramic beads and magnets, each performing different cleaning functions. When these components come in contact with water, they form ‘oxygenated’ water with an increased pH level and an ability to eliminate germs and bacteria.

SmartKlean Laundry Ball FAQ
What is the SmartKlean Laundry Ball?
SmartKlean Laundry Ball is a non toxic, mineral based alternative to laundry detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets. It uses bio ceramic beads and magnets to enhance water’s natural cleaning power, so your clothes come out clean without chemicals, fragrances, or residue. It is ideal for infants, eczema, sensitive skin, and anyone who wants a healthier, more eco friendly laundry routine.
How many Laundry Balls do I need for my washer?
1 Laundry Ball for standard home washers up to 18 lbs (8 kg)
2 Laundry Balls for larger home washers up to 36 lbs (16 kg)
3–4 Laundry Balls for industrial or oversized machines over 36 lbs
Always load the washer about three quarters full so the ball can move freely.
How do I use the SmartKlean Laundry Ball?
Place the ball on top of your laundry inside the washer. Fill the drum about three quarters full. Choose a regular or quick wash cycle. Because there are no suds, a shorter cycle is often enough. When the cycle is done, you can leave the ball in the washer for the next load.
How does it clean laundry without soap or suds?
The ceramic mineral beads and magnets:
- Increase the water’s pH to help lift oils, grime, and dirt
- Create oxygenated water that helps remove bacteria and odors
- Break large water “clusters” into smaller ones so water penetrates fabric better
- The ball’s weight and movement add gentle agitation, like the old style of beating fabrics on rocks, which helps release dirt.
How long does one Laundry Ball last?
One SmartKlean Laundry Ball is reusable for about 365–400 loads.
If you wash about once a day, that is roughly 1 year.
If you wash less often, it can last up to 2–3 years.
Over time, its cleaning power will fade and your laundry will start to look less clean. That is your sign it is time to replace it.
Is the SmartKlean Laundry Ball safe for sensitive skin, eczema, and babies?
Yes. It is 100% free of surfactants, fragrances, dyes, chlorine, optical brighteners, parabens, and other harsh chemicals. Because it cleans through a physical process and does not leave residue, it is an excellent choice for eczema, very sensitive skin, and baby clothing.
How do I “recharge” the Laundry Ball in the sun?
Direct sunlight is helpful but not essential. You can place it in a dry indoor area or on a sunny windowsill. If there is little or no sun, simply leave it out longer to let moisture fully evaporate. About every 30 washes, place the ball in a dry, well ventilated area for several hours. Sunlight helps in the following ways:
- Fully dry the ceramic beads so they work at their best
- Energize the quartz mineral inside, boosting its performance
- Direct sun speeds things up, but is not strictly required.
What about the nano silver? Is it safe?
The nano structured silver is bound within the ceramic beads and is designed not to dissolve into the water, your skin, or the environment. The environmental and health concerns around nano silver mainly apply to products that release silver directly into the body or water. SmartKlean’s technology avoids this type of release.
