Laundry Appliance

The Laundry Appliance was created so we can wash our clothes without detergent, bleach or water softener. Because it can also purify water, it is one of the best ways we can assist in cleaning up the water in a septic tank or sewer system. When we stop dumping chemicals into the water, and instead dump water that keeps working to purify everywhere it goes, we make a difference in our environment that is already overloaded with chemicals.

While the Laundry Appliance can get your clothes cleaner than any detergent, it may not remove hard stains. It is best to use a stain remover in the same way as when you used detergent. If you want to use some detergent, it is wise to use only about 10 percent of what you usually use. Otherwise, you may have suds coming out of the washing machine.

For extra umph in your laundry use Arm and Hammer washing detergent and some 20 Mule Team Borax.  These are natural cleaners.

Other Uses

When you are not using the Laundry appliance for washing clothes, you could leave it in a bucket of water. That water can be used for watering plants or pouring into your bath water or for a foot soak with the Bath Crystals and/or Magic Oil.

The Bath: You can also leave the Laundry appliance in some clean cold water in the bathtub after the bathtub is no longer in use. Then hot water can be added to it when you're ready to bathe. Just before you get into the bathtub, remove the laundry appliance from the tub. You can also just toss it into the tub and fill it with water just before taking a bath. Even that much will help. Just be sure to remove it before you hop in. This will alter the water, much like the prill beads do, and will greatly facilitate the body's absorption of any magnesium you put into the water. It can also make the skin soft and smooth.

Hot Tub: Depending on the size of your tub, you may want to use one, two or three of the laundry appliance bags instead of chlorine. Used in this way, Jim Carter suggests you may also want to add a small amount of hydrogen peroxide for odor control. No, the water won't last forever. We dump our toxins there, so it is best to empty & refill the hot tub as needed. Jim Carter states that the water made with the laundry appliance is not for drinking. One reason must surely be the sturdy canvas bag. It could also taste like the laundry.

The Laundry Appliance is made of special Prills sown into a canvas bag. This bag has been stitched many times to survive in the washing machine. If you find some threads dangling from it when you first receive it or after use, just trim them off. The bag is not coming apart. The Carters have used theirs since 1993 and it is still in one piece.


I use my laundry appliance (two of them) in 5-gallon  plastic buckets of water. I leave each bucket at least 12 hours with about a gallon left in the bottom before using it for:

It does not matter how long the L.A. is in a body of water, it is going to become at least partially Prill and even Magic Water, as it also has laminar crystal in it.  Any amount is better than none.  Any amount is helpful and keeps working wherever it is.

My plants are just amazing!  I also spray them with Prill Water from a spray bottle. For a larger area of plants, we might want to use one of those large spray units they sell at the garden shops for fertilizing.

When not using them to do laundry, they can be used to make wonderful water for your plants.  Outdoor watering will contribute to the ground water, and help clean up our planet.
