I bought some (the as seen on TV ones) they have these purple foamies glued on. Needless to say, I'm not too impressed with them. Most of the foamies came off the first load I did. I've seen some balls without foamies, maybe they work better.
I just bought a set of reusable laundry sheets (they come in a package of 2), far better results. I found mine at Save-On-Foods here. You can probably find these sheets at any natural foods store if they stock laundry supplies.

Boo! I knew it sounded too good. LOL! I did read in this month's magazine about washing with white vinegar to remove dirt and have been planning to make some laundry detergent without any chemicals/perfumes but I thought if this worked....
