How does the ecoegg Laundry Egg work?

Swapping your bottles of detergent, pods or powders for a small (but mighty) egg might sound too good to be true, but here’s how it works...


Our refillable detergent pellets, work from inside your Egg Case to release a small but effective amount of detergent with each wash. They clean your clothes without leaving residue, making the Laundry Egg ideal for sensitive skin and allergies.

  • "Very happy"

    "What a lovely product bought from genuine people who said they also struggled with allergies which is why they developed this. After trying on my toddlers forever mucky clothes, it has worked as well as my previous detergent and seems to have really helped with his eczema which makes it worth every penny and actually it’s cheaper than I’m used to paying!"

  • "Excellent product and customer service"

    "I have been using ecoegg exclusively for about four years now and am so glad I switched. I have young kids who get into all kinds of messes, and I mean ALL KINDS, and the pellets have kept their clothes, bedding, and stuffies clean. Recently I had an issue with a refill packet; I got a timely response from a human who asked questions and offered a quick solution. I cannot recommend this company highly enough."

  • Amazing eco-friendly switch!

    "I just love my ecoegg with Fresh Linen scent, smells great and can't wait to try the other scents! A friend recommended this to me about a year ago and I've never looked back - environmentally friendly, my clothes no longer have the strong overbearing smell of laundry pods instead a gorgeous gentle scent, and they are coming up clean as ever, win win!"

How do I know when my Laundry Detergent Egg is ready for a refill?

The frequency of how often you need to refill completely depends on how often and how much you do laundry.

There is a groove inside the egg case that indicates when you need to refill. Refer to the diagram on our instructions page.

We’ve built an online PDF tracker for your washes to help you keep on track, so you never miss a refill day. Download it here.

How do the Laundry Detergent Pellets clean my clothes?

The gentle surfactants in the Laundry Egg Pellets help lift dirt from the fabrics. The surfactant molecules help water to take hold of the dirt and grease, break it up and wash it away. Other clever ingredients in the pellets ensure that dirt and grime in the water do not move back onto the fabrics and remain in the wash water.

The black tourmaline pellets naturally ionise the water making it slightly more alkaline. Alkaline water lifts dirt better but also softens the fibres of the clothes. Acidic water can be damaging to clothes and fibres.

Can the ecoegg Laundry Egg be left in for the whole wash cycle?

Yes. However, the ecoegg Laundry Detergent Egg MUST be removed for the final drying cycle if you have a washer-dryer.

Are ecoegg products hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested?
