The minute you fold and put away one load, another few are waiting for you in the hamper.\u00a0Then, there&#8217;s the issue of which laundry detergent to use. Does it contain harsh chemicals? How much does it cost? Does it even clean the clothes well?<\/p>\n<h3>Crystal Wash 2.0 \u2013 Bio Ceramics vs\u00a0Laundry Detergent<\/h3>\n<p>Instead of fretting over that, you can just nix the detergent from your wash routine completely by using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crystalwash.com\/kickstarter\/?cp=12516\u200b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Crystal Wash 2.0<\/a>.\u00a0Crystal Wash is an innovative product that allows users to get their clothes clean without the need of laundry detergent. Instead, Bio Ceramics inside the Crystal Wash balls are used to adjust the pH balance in the water (so dirt and stains soak free) and to create hydrogen peroxide for disinfecting (and kills bacteria and odors). Crystal Wash is good for at least 1000 washes and only requires an afternoon in the sun once a month to recharge the effectiveness of the Bio Ceramics. Pretty intriguing concept, right?!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/crystal-wash-01.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal Wash \u2013 Removing the need for Laundry Detergent\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/crystal-wash-01.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/crystal-wash-01-292x195.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/crystal-wash-01-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Crystal Wash 2.0 \u2013 Mobile-Friendly<\/h3>\n<p>In the 2.0 &#8220;connected&#8221; version, thanks to fancy technology and a micro-controller with Bluetooth capability, a boat load of features have been added.
