Crystal Wash is a greener way to clean laundry + Giveaway #CrystalWash

Have you ever worried about all that laundry detergent that you use? Where it goes in the ecosystem? I always think about it but never knew that there was a better option. We all have to do laundry anyway but there is a better and more eco-friendly way to do it now. It is a new and exciting option that even looks cool. It uses natural Bio-Ceramics from the earth. Crystal Wash is an effective laundry care system that is so simple but really gets laundry clean and fresh. The best part is that it is better for the environment and at the same time saves me money. I just got back from the grocery store and even with coupons, smart shopping and checking all the deals prices are sky high. I love the fact that I don't have to buy detergent each week and I can use and reuse Crystal Wash with no worries or cares.

Crystal Wash is an innovative natural way to clean up to 1000 loads of laundry (that's right, up to 1,000 loads!) without using detergents, chemicals or perfumes.  It is an efficient and natural way to do laundry that really works. It uses the power of Bio Ceramics from the earth, which naturally clean your clothes as effectively as laundry detergent. The special Bio Ceramics were developed using different minerals with  effective antibacterial and anti-oxidant properties.The Bio Ceramics are housed inside the 2 balls you see in the photo above and below. Think about how much better Crystal Wash is for your skin. I know my skin gets so dry in general. I have seen how various scented detergents make my skin itchy so I try to avoid them. Crystal Wash makes it easy because it cleans my clothes naturally.

Crystal Wash is a great option that is definitely more gentle on your fabrics as well.  It is also better for the environment because it reduces contaminated waste water filtered back into the water supply, saves water by lowering required rinse cycles, and effectively reduces CO2 production by requiring less energy than a traditional detergent based wash. It was easy to use in my washing machine and got my laundry clean and fresh this past weekend.  I had tons of laundry too from all our skiing gear to my gym clothes from this week. It came out so clean and soft I was actually surprised.  I don't have to remember to add the detergent which is great. Even my tween can use it with no worries...it is all natural. I just need to remember to put my Crystal Wash in the sun every month..that is how the Bio-Ceramics renew themselves and remain effective to clean and freshen my laundry. I think I will schedule it for the beginning of each month to make it easier for me.

I love it how it is but am even more excited at the next generation that is in the works right now. Crystal Wash has a really innovative version that is almost ready for release that makes the system even more impressive. Crystal Wash 2.0 is the future of eco-friendly laundry.

Here is a way to get connected with your laundry and get it the cleanest you can every single time with no work on your part. I love that. That is the idea behind the Crystal Wash 2.0. As effective as Crystal Wash is, the components need to be recharged about every 30 laundry loads. The reason for this is that as the Bio Ceramics collect odors, dirt and waste from your laundry, they need to be ‘recharged’ in order to make sure the pH levels of the laundry water continue to be raised.  To recharge Crystal Wash you just put them in the sun for an afternoon about every 30 days (or 30 laundry loads). That's it...a little sun and they will be just as effective as their first wash. It is simple but my to-do list is miles long. I want my Crystal Wash to remain 100% effective.  That is where the high-tech Crystal Wash 2.0 comes in. It will work seamlessly in the background to learn about and monitor your laundry and remind you that it is time to recharge them.

The idea behind Crystal Wash and Crystal Wash 2.0 is that they will embed a state-of-the-art pH water sensing chip and a micro-controller with Bluetooth capability inside the current Crystal Wash, to provide users with accurate recharge alerts. No worries because Crystal Wash 2.0 will remind you via your smartphone when it is time to put them in the sun. Crystal Wash 2.0 will have several other tools and features for the smartphone that will help make doing laundry easier and more effective too. They are slating the Crystal Wash 2.0 version for the end of 2015. Meanwhile, you can buy Crystal Wash right now and start doing laundry the eco-friendly way right now!

John Frieda is a brand that is known for excellence in hair care. They sent me a whole kit of mini size Frizz Ease products to get my hair smooth and keep it looking gorgeous all day long.  I love the scent and the system worked great to get my hair clean and frizz free with just one use.  I was thrilled to see the $3.00 off coupon included so I could stock up with the full size products.

I discovered Optic White a year or two ago and there was no turning back. Nothing gets and keeps my teeth as white as Optic White and I have tried other brands. I need to have fresh, clean breath and white teeth to feel confident when I am working with my most valuable clients and that is every single day.  Even my hubby starting swiping my Colgate Optic White...he sees a difference too. I have had to stock up every time I see it on sale at the store now. I was so glad to get an extra toothbrush and toothpaste.
