The Difference You Are Making Thank you for choosing SmartKlean! To show our appreciation for your eco-conscious shopping decision, we’d like to show you the huge difference you alone, are making in the environment by using your SmartKlean® Laundry Ball!

Reducing Packaging Waste The lifespan of your SmartKlean Laundry Ball is equivalent to containers of laundry detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheets. Although some these containers used for laundry products are said to be recyclable, the sad reality is that they are ‘down-cycled’. Eventually, after being recycled a few times, plastics and cardboards are no longer usable and are sent to landfills. What’s worse is that most of them are not biodegradable. In addition to this, plastics are generally toxic to manufacture, generate waste and consume large amounts of resources and energy to be produced.

Reducing Waste in Our Waterways Today’s traditional laundry detergents use 50 fluid ounces of concentrated liquids. Because our product is designed to leave zero chemical residues behind, you are preventing approximately 8 – 16 gallons of chemicals from entering our waste water treatment plants. Although filters and special chemicals take out solids, grit and other things, these treatment plants cannot filter out all types of hazardous waste. Much of the chemical waste from detergents still reach and jeopardize our precious aquatic ecosystems. What About Eco-Friendly Detergents? Even some of the trusted green brands such as Ecover and Seventh Generation contain chemicals such as SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) which are lethal to fresh water fish at 7ppm (parts per million) and do not break down well in the environment.

Saving Big ‘Loads’ of Water! Without any soap or detergent residue, there’s ‘nothing’ to rinse out, therefore, you can skip or start from the rinse cycle! Since most washing machines use gallons per rinse cycle, your laundry ball can save approximately 2,000-8,000 gallons of water throughout its use! With a top loader, you can save up to 6,000-8,000 gallons of water and with an HE front loader, you can save anywhere from 2,400-6,000 gallons!

Saving Energy A whopping 90% of the electricity used by washing machines often goes to just heat the water! But with your SmartKlean® Laundry Ball, hot or warm water is completely unnecessary. On average, the electrical use per load of hot/warm water is 4.5 kWh (power generated per hour). If you use hot or warm water for 365 loads this totals out to 1,642.5 kWh. This is equivalent to the power consumed by a desktop computer for 8,326 hours or 343 days! Analysis calculated with a 17” monitor and using 200 wattage. Information source:

Now Just Imagine… If every household in the U.S. replaced the average use of 50 oz. petroleum-based laundry detergents with one SmartKlean Laundry Ball, we could save 1,165,000 barrels of oil - enough to heat and cool 67,000 U.S. homes for a year! If every household in the U.S. replaced a year’s worth of polyester fabric softener sheets with the SmartKlean Laundry Ball, and recycled after use, we could prevent 29,600 tons of solid waste from entering our landfills, equivalent to 3,120 garbage trucks!

You Have the Power to Spread So dear Earth friend, now that you are aware of the incredible impact you are making for yourself and the environment, we’d like to let you know what you can do to create an even bigger impact! SmartKlean is building a vibrant green movement with the help of hundreds of people from over 40 countries around the world that really want to make a difference. SmartKlean is not sold in stores. Instead, we provide the opportunity for others to make a lucrative profit from selling this product within their own communities. In doing so, we’re helping stay-at-home moms, business professionals, families in need of more income and many others who are passionate about helping others, health and the environment. Please take a few minutes to read our distribution plan. If you’re not interested, you can still help! The SmartKlean movement is based solely on word of mouth. Support our movement by spreading the word to friends & family or posting a testimonial. And also, connect with us on the links below!
