Introduction

Over the last 30 years, we've witnessed drastic technological developments such as audio visual, wireless mechanisms and the discovery plastic. From black & white 10 inch to 47 inch LCD televisions, huge palm sized handphone to a third of its weight and size, plain green font computers to mutlicolor and size computers. Now, almost 70% of our household items are made of plastics, "Everyone can fly" with no frills airlines like Air Asia and "Everyone can drive" with affordable automobiles.

We've also witnessed a great shift in world economy from trading of real goods to the shift of wealth amongst people via world share and commodity trading markets. I realise that if I don't exit fast the market at its high fast enough, my wealth gets shifted to someone else's pocket instead.

All these were made possible with the help of one great invention; the computer. On one hand, these has given us all great comfort in life but on the other hand, these developments has resulted in global warming, which is the beginning of the destruction of the earth. When the weather gets hot, we create air-condition to cool ourselves down at the expense of making the globe warmer. When we're too busy climbing the corporate ladder, the demand for convenience such as packed food and disposable diapers, resulted in a high demand for plastics that leads to non-biodegradable rubbish piling up.

How then, can we help preserve it for our future generation?

Magic Washing ball: An alternative to biodegradable washing detergent

Regular commercial washing detergent is made from chemicals which could cause irritation and allergy to sensitive skin. The detergent is also not bio-degradable which leads to water pollution!




I bought this Magic Washing ball (made in Korea) and have been using it for 6 months now. Initially I was worried that it would not thoroughly clean my clothes and rid the smell (without the fragrance of the regular detergent) but was proven wrong! The clothes smell fresh and clean after the wash! I bought 2 for RM149.00 at Jusco. Can’t find them in Jusco anymore but you can get them from Ace Hardware at the same price. For one, it is RM79.00. You need 2 balls if your washing machine load is big.

The Magic ball contains elements that does the following:-

a) Produces “negative ions” from the water to soften the surface and inter fabric adhesions so that the dirt can be removed without the use of detergent

b) Keeps the pH spectrum at the level that ordinary chemical detergent does to remove oil and dirt from clothings. (If you have heavily soiled clothing it is recommended to use a small amount of detergent to aid in the removal of the stain)

c) Eliminates the “chlorine” in the water, increasing the cleaning strength by softening the water surface tension in your wash

d) Creates anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties

Try it - start saving the earth and yourself...
