Wed 2 Aug 2006
I posted an item from my mum last week about how to reuse washing powder tablet nets and it made me think of their solid plastic friend: those funny shaped ball things that you put washing powder in before putting the ball directly into the washing machine.
I’ve got a few floating around from back in the day when they were the washing powder innovation du jour and since I’m trying to move away from chemical powder onto soapnuts now, I have no need for them.
Any suggestions for reuses? They’re really sturdy with a flat bottom but awkwardly shaped apart from that.

I’ve never seen these before!
I think they could be made into potpourri balls… they’d look interesting on the Christmas tree.
I’d love to have them, but I don’t know what the post would cost to send them - I’m in Canada!

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for these, as they are the only method I have found that doesn’t leave a smeary powder line on clothes, and mine is split and ready to retire.
I cannot find any retailers who still sell them ,would you part with one for a few quid? I can post a cheque which would cover costs and P&P. Pls respond

OMG!!!i have been trying to find these for ages. They don’t sell these anymore!! Have you got any more? I’ll pay postage, etc.
If there is anything that is usable, but you don’t want it, I recommend posting your item on Freecycle (yahoo groups, but just Google “Freecycle” to find it). Its good for the environment!
