Why do you put a ball of foil in the washing machine?
Why is there a need to add a foil ball to the washing machine? This simple method was discovered by housewives even before the advent of unique industrial laundry products and improved models of household appliances. Cleanliness, softness and lack of static electricity - this is what ordinary foil gives things.
Why do you need a foil ball?
Even a new model of washing machine does not guarantee stable washing quality. Housewives solve problems with the help of additional means: powders, conditioners, etc. However, residual contaminants and static electricity do not disappear from life. This is where folk wisdom comes to the rescue: just roll up a ball of foil and throw it into the drum with your things.
The balls have several purposes:
- They provide an additional mechanical effect on items being washed. This provides better results without additional washing.
- They cut down on powder and fabric softener consumption. And the budget is saved, and the washing machine is easier.
- Things will not only be cleaner, but also softer.
- After rinsing, there are no streaks left on the fabrics.
- Foil eliminates the accumulation of static electricity on clothing. This is explained by the fact that the aluminum from which the sheet is made has the property of removing static. The problem of electrification is familiar to many: sparks can appear from one movement. If the rim of the washing machine drum does not cope with the task, help it with foil. Even if it doesn’t work out, the quality of the wash will still be noticeably higher.
On a note
Contrary to fears, the foil ball will not catch or scratch either the things in the drum or the device itself.
The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com advises buying clothes from fabrics that are not prone to the accumulation of static electricity. This is especially true for bed linen.
What else is good about foil? The roll is inexpensive. Housewives often buy it for baking or storing food, so it can be found in any household - you can test the method today. A ball rolled out of foil will serve for washing for 2-3, and sometimes even 6 months. It's very economical.
How to wash properly
Roll 2-3 balls the size of a walnut and simply throw them into the drum along with the clothes. They should be dense; spare no effort in shaping them.
There is no danger for washing terry towels and other dense items: foil does not deform the material. If you are afraid for delicate silk and lace items or that the ball will begin to sprinkle with aluminum pieces, then hide it in a protective net.
Advice
Tennis balls are often recommended for washing down jackets. An appropriately sized foil ball is a worthy alternative with advanced features.
You will rarely have to replace the ball with a new one. As soon as the old ones shrink and begin to lose density, take out a new sheet of foil.
A foil ball is a budget option to improve the quality of your wash. Why buy powders with a “unique composition”, antistatic conditioners and other additives? Decent washing quality and reduced static are possible for a ridiculous amount. A roll of foil costs around 100 rubles. You can roll balls out of it for several years to come. Now calculate the cost of industrial clothing products.
If foil still raises questions, pay attention to special rubber embossed laundry balls.
the ball will quickly fall apart and clog the drain filter
Before you write that it will fall apart, you first try it, and then put a spoke in the wheels. You won’t be able to pry this ball off with a knife, and what can I say, you won’t even find the edge. It clumps up so tightly that it’s hard to believe that this is the case “ hands"typewriters
I completely agree.
KAPETS - why invent something when they sell special hard balls with spikes for washing machines
How many morons have written about bricks and weights in the washing machine))) Where did these morons study and why do they put bricks and weights in the washing machine???
I have never done such stupidity and never will. What is the statics of natural fabrics? And then the static is removed by washing.
What is the static when washing? You wrote it correctly. Plus, all washing machines have a three-pin plug, which eliminates the accumulation of static electricity even when washing synthetics.
Isn't wool electrified?
I started using foil balls a long time ago. Great! Nothing gets clogged - when crumpled up too much, they turn into polished balls. lasts a long time before replacement. Just try it and see for yourself.
Yes that's right
The whole ball is falling apart, but you have enough for a long time, LIE!!!!!!
you dolls put something in the washing machine besides the balls
Idiocy!
And if you throw in a metal sponge, it will wash even better, and things and the drum (it’s plastic, by the way) will be destroyed even faster. The previous speaker wrote about a clogged filter.
Kostya, have you ever seen a drum in a washing machine? And do you know its difference from a tank?
Where did you buy the machine on Aliexpress with a plastic drum?
Save 5 grams of powder and spend a sheet of foil, which also costs money)
Static in the washing machine? Three ha-ha!!!
What kind of static electricity is in water?! The author is delusional.
I also read and cannot understand how static can form in water. Dirty water is a good conductor.
Ugh, and what kind of nonsense they can come up with!
You can use ball bearings to completely replace detergents! Microbes will die between the colliding balls!
Such balls will generally wear out little
True, you will have to change the machine more often!
!
100% agree. Useless nonsense written.
Oh. Madhouse, add more crushed stone, by the way, foil is also not a cheap pleasure, and it crumbles, oh, there are no words to write anything!
this is not humane
Bravo!
More cement and sand, and for construction
But it’s not nonsense! I read it and did it. There was a stain on the kitchen towel, after washing with foil balls it was gone.I didn’t really believe it either, but there is a result! Within a few washes the ball became dense and round, like a ball.
Have you ever held aluminum in your hands? Have you noticed that it leaves behind black marks?
Of course, after a couple of washes this “effect” may go away, but still, a residue remains from it.
Have you tried laying bricks? It's just a miracle how it helps with laundry!
Yes, yes, brick is an excellent cleaning agent. Verified by the Russian Army!
I confirm! A foil ball to improve washing...this is nonsense!! Author, have you tried this yourself? Because of articles like this, people waste their time on useless experiments.
Exactly. And on top of that they destroy equipment.
Amway has a special jar for powder. She also helps with laundry. You can throw ordinary plastic jars of vitamins and other things into the tank and let them dangle...
and from kinder surprise
No matter what kind of washing and antistatic agents I bought, synthetics still became electrified (for example, curtains). I decided to try it on them. The result surprised me; the curtains did not “shoot” when ironing. They have been hanging since the New Year until “electricity” appeared in them. Now I wash only with foil, I’ve been using it for four months now. The quality of washing has always satisfied me before, but with balls the laundry wrinkles less and is easier to iron. Try it, you won't lose anything!
No need to spread nonsense.
They provide an additional mechanical effect on items being washed. This provides better results without additional washing.
The only adequate advice. To do this, it is recommended to throw tennis balls.
They cut down on powder and fabric softener consumption. And the budget is saved, and the washing machine is easier.
Due to what? What fewer things fit in the washing machine?
Things will not only be cleaner, but also softer.
Due to what? Why are they tough? Can I still add normal powder? or add conditioner?
After rinsing, there are no streaks left on the fabrics.
The same as without them?
Foil eliminates the accumulation of static electricity on clothing. This is explained by the fact that the aluminum from which the sheet is made has the property of removing static. The problem of electrification is familiar to many: sparks can appear from one movement. If the rim of the washing machine drum does not cope with the task, help it with foil. Even if it doesn’t work out, the quality of the wash will still be noticeably higher.
For those who skipped physics - statics is a TRANSFER of charge, where will it go from the foil later? Maybe the machine itself should be grounded?
About static during washing - I’m generally silent - has anyone ever observed static on wet laundry? NOBODY? But still, be on the safe side - put some foil balls and it will DEFINITELY not happen!
yes, Anatoly is right - I’ve had these balls for 2 years and they are so dense that you can kill them
I don’t know about anyone, but after reading this nonsense, I advised my wife to put some foil balls... And now I have one desire, to find and “thank” this smart guy in the face! And you know, sooner or later I will find you! This is an order from washing machine repairmen! Don't be fooled by any nonsense!
Yes you are right ! They should also put bricks... ha ha ha damn idiots.
It’s just another nonsense and they believe it, don’t talk nonsense! They don't whip anything!
12.04 19 I READ, LAUGHED, RELATED…….
Don’t even think about using this, the ball will definitely peel off and clog the water pump.
The article is complete nonsense.Never throw these balls. I myself have been using an 8kg cast iron weight for every wash for many years and the effect is amazing. Firstly, the powder is almost not needed because the weight with its mass perfectly knocks out all the dirt; secondly, the balancing of the washing drum is improved, which significantly extends the service life of the washing machine; thirdly, water consumption is significantly reduced (up to 70 percent) and plus, energy savings are reduced by at least half (due to the large mass of the weight, the drum rotates much more longer without using the main electric motor) So don’t be fooled by this aluminum scam with balls.
The kettlebell is a thing. The ball sucks.
Well, you can't write like that :)
people will really believe
I tried the kettlebell! Everything washed off wonderfully without any powder! The color of things has become more saturated, even brighter than new ones! Thank you, kind man, for your advice!
Thanks for the humor?, brilliant!!!!! The whole family laughs, and laughter carries life through?
I tried a weight, bullshit - my socks didn’t wash. I threw a brick - the result was stunning!!! All the linen is like new, as well as a new washing machine, neighbors, apartment, city.
Super. Laughed until I cried.
Why is the article complete nonsense? You are wrong. The neighbor read this article, took a polypropylene bag, threw dirty laundry into it, threw a couple of dried dog poop on top, tied it and began kicking it around the yard. After 5-10 minutes I checked and found all the things absolutely clean and fresh, there was no need to dry them. This is what needs to be advertised on our TV channels, and not all the already pretty boring nonsense.
Awesome tip with the kettlebell. I didn’t even load the laundry, but it was washed, I don’t know what kind of magic it is, dude, but it works
Very funny respect
My balloon didn’t fall apart, but it tore my underwear... Bad advice!
I don’t understand - the drum is spinning with a weight?
P.Y. Why are you doing this? After all, he’ll check and throw the weight into the washing machine.
Balls suck! Give me the weight!
Yes... women can't understand men's jokes. P.Y. Why are you doing this... After all, he’ll check it and throw the weight in the washing machine.
I tried it, didn’t notice anything great, but my ball didn’t fall apart
I should have spat on a worm, it would have been great
I tried it, didn’t notice any super wash, but the ball didn’t fall apart
Balls, weights - nonsense! I have an 8 kg dumbbell! 2 balls at once, and eternal! After the first wash, the paint peeled off the dumbbell! I'm thinking of connecting a second dumbbell! 4 balls - great!
??
DON'T FUCK! READ THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WASHING MACHINES!!! THERE ARE TIPS FOR WASHING ANY THING (TEMPERATURE CONDITION)! ,, FUCKED,, EVERYTHING - WASH THE OLD WAY, LIKE BEFORE!!! NO ONE COMPLAINED ABOUT ANYTHING!!! TYPE (IT’S NOT DIFFICULT) HOW YOU WASHED IT BEFORE OR ASK THE OLDER GENERATION!!!
LG will write a new instruction manual for the washing machine. There will be a ban on foil balls.
The afftor was smoking something scary)))
Everything is correct! I was smoking through foil in the bathroom, my wife came! Throw foil into the washing machine and start. EUREKA!!!! a new way of washing has been discovered.
This is all from the same series: “quench” soda with vinegar. No one understands why, but there is such a folk habit, tradition. The main thing is to believe and convince others
Not everyone puts out soda, but only those who don’t like the taste of soda...
Actually, this is elementary, Watson. If you don’t quench with vinegar, then the baked goods will have a noticeable taste of soda, but if you quench, there will be no soda taste.
I would advise everyone who resists what the author of the article said above to at least turn to the school physics curriculum: that is, any movement you make is electromagnetism, to put it bluntly. So this is also the case, just like the fact that “everything ingenious is simple.”
Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with electricity, magnetism, and the interactions between them.
Check out the school course yourself!
Don’t listen to anyone, I always throw 2 kilogram cast iron dumbbells and apply a little laundry soap, the result is obvious - snow-white sheets. A man with golden hair came and was amazed that he would soon come to you.
I agree with Yuri. I am a physics teacher myself. When foil balls hit the material during washing, they knock out the internal negative charge, but the positive charge remains. In order for the fabric to have a neutral charge after washing, you still need to throw dumbbells, then one end of the dumbbells will knock out a negative charge upon impact, and the other, opposite end of the dumbbells will knock out a positive charge. For the method to work effectively, you need to set the maximum speed of the washing machine, and after washing your fabrics will have an absolutely neutral, zero charge. If I could draw, I would show you everything on diagrams.

In general, critical comments are mainly from those who have not tried - they criticize with speculative exercises. Static can be removed by small pieces of aluminum deposited on clothing. It’s such a fine powder, powder, and there’s not much of it, so it’s not visible.
You don't have to jump from the 9th floor to test gravity. Critical comments are based on knowledge.
People, what kind of argument is this: weights, dumbbells, balls - in a laundry bag, or as in the article: “If you are afraid for delicate silk and lace items or that the ball will start to sprinkle with aluminum pieces, then hide it in a protective net "

Balls of goat or rabbit feces not only save you from static, but also give your laundry a unique aroma. Be sure to try it.
Classy and natural...almost alpine herbs...slightly processed. .for better results
I usually add a couple of cloves of garlic and bell pepper, mustard to taste
Aluminum salts, and foil is aluminum + chemical powders are very poisonous. And don't cook in aluminum.
And don't wash with powder
Comment for those who use foil balls. The next time you wash, try putting a brick, it removes all static, gives things a pristine look and the freshness of alpine meadows.
Why argue, it’s better to immediately add aluminum powder, there will be an effect
On T-shirts, the foil balls create indentations that look like stains, so not everything is perfect.
The publication was probably prepared for April 1, but it seems they were a little late. I was especially impressed by the removal of electrostatics from a wet one! Super! Five pluses for inventive imbecility! The author mocked the novice housewives a little, but we fell for it and started a discussion about this nonsense!
what kind of stitch? Static stress does not accumulate in a humid environment. Learn physics, gentlemen!
Try red brick, not all of it, of course, you’re not stupid, I hope)))) exactly half, otherwise you’ll overdo it! The effect will not take long to appear! You will be very surprised! Balls have a rest compared to cubes! It works without powder, gel, (! Calgon! your car will no longer need it at all), other unnecessary chemicals that only spoil things and waste your money!!!!
RED BRICK!!! That says it all!
Insanity, the Unified State Examination generation.
All the “advantages” are, if not complete bullshit (like static in water!!), then very doubtful (what are the “savings” due to? where will the divorces go?) or controversial.
But there were a mountain of obvious disadvantages:
* aluminum is a soft metal, leaves black marks (try running a ball of foil over the fabric yourself).
* additional and dangling weight worsens the balancing of the drum (hello noise, rapid wear and long spin)
*foil may tear or further wear delicate fabrics
* foil crumbles into flakes and can clog filters and get into clothes
Have you tried milk with herring? This is absolutely brutal. I recommend.
FRIED HERRING IS BETTER - THE EFFECT IS COOLER
Only red things can be washed with red brick, white ones with white silicate brick! :)
Thanks everyone! I haven't laughed so much in a long time!
I load figures from depleted uranium into the washer...
:))))) classssss:))
Oh! People, people. You need to fail yourself!
We laughed heartily, thank you everyone, we lifted our spirits
And if there is no washing machine, what should I throw in?
why remove static voltage, connect an inverter welding machine to it and you will be happy saving electricity washed and welded who came up with the idea of writing such nonsense?
You still have to catch the ball, and after two or three you’ll get tired of running.
You are unique, those who use the balls, you create your own site with the types and share, and after a year, post your g... in the place with the things
It's funny how they talk so much nonsense. Especially about static in the form of bullshit.
The ingenuity of our people has always surprised me. This time the advice is sound. And the idiots who missed the school course can meaningfully remain silent.
Well done
For washing machines with a large drum, I used a cinder block, it washed things very well, so the ball sucks, the cinder block washes super well.....??
Hello, people!
And I threw the flail into the drum! He sewed up torn menstrual socks and panties with his properties!! And I washed it so much that now I don’t need to wash it anymore. For centuries!!! :)
Flail! Only Flail!!
I throw apples from the hypermarket into the washer. And the linen is clean, and the fruit is washed
Thanks everyone, I had a good laugh
There are probably large stocks of foil in warehouses. At least you have to sell it somehow.
Place five kilograms of nails and one hundred and fifty kilograms of nails. The nails hold the laundry scattered, allowing you to wash the laundry from all sides. And there are enough nails for more than one washing machine.
Some kind of heresy about statics. The author did not go to school
Article from the foil manufacturer)))
I ruined my suit with this spiked rubber ball. After washing the material was in pellets.
Shouted thank you =))) the one who came up with the article, I advise you to re-learn physics.
Well, I laughed! ))))))) How many cheerful and kind people we have!
Is this the idiocy of schizophrenics?
Quackery. Will you publish a recipe on how to charge water?
Clothes turn to dust even without any balls; there are ribs in the drums of the machines. The whole apartment is covered in a thick layer of dust from rags. The fabric of clothes is now very bad and the powders are aggressive, you see, we have survived capitalism!
The ribs help beat and shovel the fabric and the fabric beats itself when the direction of rotation of the drum changes. Aluminum particles on clothing can reduce electrification. But as already noted above, aluminum and its compounds are, at best, not needed by the human body.
You should definitely not put foil in the machine, unless you want to have an adventure, repair the machine or repair the apartment of your neighbors downstairs, or, even worse, get electrocuted.
If there were special homogeneous aluminum balls (but hollow inside so that their density was low), then yes, it is possible. Effects: laundry does not stick together when washed, it washes better; particles of aluminum on clothing help reduce electrification (but aluminum and its compounds, at best, are not needed by the human body).
Thanks everyone, you made me laugh!
I usually throw in a closed bottle of Pepsi. Probably everyone knows the property of washing.
The caustic contained in the SMS will corrode the ball with great pleasure. and the food that is eaten will clog the drain system. .the idea was originally to save water
what kind of static do you wash with gasoline?
The author is a genius! It would seem that this seemingly crazy publication caused such a heated discussion! Goal achieved! There were so many people! Finally, I came across a topic where everyone suddenly felt like an expert in the field of materials science, electrostatics, mechanics and so on, so on...!!! Ha ha ha!!!
Try putting the iron together with the balls. The laundry will not only be static-free, but will also be ironed immediately. Yes, don’t forget to plug in the iron.
Guys, thanks to everyone! I haven't laughed like that in five years!
What is static in water? Or do you wash in distilled water without SMS? rave…
Thank you all for the good mood, did you laugh heartily?
If you replace the balls with an iron, a double effect will be achieved (the laundry will be not only clean, but also ironed)! You also won’t need bricks and dumbbells, since the weight of the iron copes well with germs and spreads them over the walls of the drum, creating an additional protective layer on it, which will increase the life of your machine several times! During such washes, your machine can simultaneously be used as a dishwasher. It is especially recommended to put family porcelain and expensive crystal with your things, which will give your things a new shine! Literally after the first wash, your machine can be used as a multicooker and microwave, and at the same time! And in the summer it can also be used as an air conditioner. In winter, you can also forget about heating devices! A washing machine loaded with firewood and coal is perfectly installed in the smart home system.
Andrey, handsome, I was just thinking about concrete
I’m glad that I received so many responses to the article, thank you for your comments, wait for the new article “How to wash foil balls without adding laundry”
Well, yes! Smart House! If you don’t do this, you will have no luck either in your family, not in your personal business, or on the couch!
Complete nonsense! There is no question of static email! Mechanical impact, maybe...
What is static in the aquatic environment?
I also recommend adding a handful of nails or screws. They say it helps the brain.
Try throwing the F-1 into the machine with the pin folded back. The effect will be indescribable. He washes everything - doors, walls, even the windows of the neighbors opposite.
Water is an excellent conductor of electricity. Where can static electricity accumulate in a washing machine? Ladies, I am once again “greatly surprised” by your mental abilities.
