Q. Does the
laundry system replace traditional laundry additives like bleach
and pretreat sprays for stains?
A. The Life Miracle
Laundry System® is a laundry detergent alternative only. Just
like when using laundry detergent, separate products used for
other functions must be used separately, like spot stain treatments,
and whitening bleach products. These are separate from the Laundry
System just as they are separate from detergent.
Q. Does the
Life Miracle Laundry System® kill bacteria, etc. on the clothes?
A. Again, the Life
Miracle Laundry System® is a laundry detergent alternative
only. Laundry detergent is not used to kill microorganisms, and
neither is the Laundry System, but the cleaning process itself
washes away most bacteria. However, hot water will kill most microorganisms
in the water, and a little bleach will do the same (although bleach
works best at high temperatures).
An extremely effective
natural alternative: Numerous studies show that a straight 5 percent
solution of vinegar—such as you can buy in the supermarket—kills
99% of bacteria, 82% of mold, and 80% of germs (viruses).
Q. Can I use
bleach and other chemicals with the laundry system if I want to?
A. Yes. Honestly, nothing
whitens like chlorine bleach, but there are few chemicals that
are more toxic for the environment and health. Bleach is very
harsh and damaging to you clothes as well. That said, if you don’t
mind the tradeoffs, you can still use diluted bleach with Life
Miracle Laundry System® if you choose. A great alternative
to chlorine bleach is oxygen bleach (like Oxyclean® and similar
products). Borax is also an excellent natural laundry booster.
Some laundry system owners add baking soda or white vinegar to
their loads.
Q. What about
smell? Will my clothes have a nice, perfumey scent with the Laundry
System?
A. There is no scent
added when using the Laundry System. The truth is, clean clothes
smell like nothing. They don't smell like perfume. And most people
significantly overkill with these scents. They use detergents,
spot removers and bleach with perfumes in their washing machine,
then they use fabric softeners and/or dryer sheets in the dryer
which add even more perfumes. Then they wash their bodies with
scented soaps and shampoos, and towel off with their scented towel
(after they slept all night in perfumed sheets and pillowcases).
Then after all of that, they apply perfumed deodorant and spray
on their favorite cologne. This is simply too many chemicals on
the body, and sometimes the body will rebel with rashes, respiratory
issues or illness.
If you absolutely
cannot live without a scent on your clothes, then just use one
scented dryer sheet. There is simply no reason to pile all of
the other scented chemicals on your clothes. And you need to know
that most of these are very unhealthy for your skin and respiratory
system, so the less you use, the better off you are. Some of those
red eyes, rashes and runny noses are not because of allergies,
but due to the perfume and petrochemicals left behind in your
clothes.
Q. How long
will my laundry system last?
A. Life Miracle Laundry
System® was designed and engineered to give you many decades
of service, and save you thousands of dollars on not buying laundry
detergents. In the process, you will be preventing thousands of
pounds of chemicals from being dumped into our water supply and
from being imbued in your garments, which may create a dramatically
positive effect on your family’s health if eliminated.
Q. What is
the lifetime warranty and risk free trial all about?
A. Since Life Miracle
Laundry System® may be a new concept to you, we take all risk
out of trying the product and comparing it to your favorite laundry
detergent. And once you’ve tried the product and love it,
we also guarantee the quality of the product with the lifetime
warranty, and still give it to you at a very reasonable price.
Q. What temperature
should the water be? Can I use hot, warm and cold water at my
own discretion?
A. Generally speaking,
hot water is always the best temperature for the cleanest clothes
whether you are using the Laundry System or detergent. Think about
when you are washing dishes in the sink. The cold water will clean
stuck on food, but the hot water will remove the food more quickly
and efficiently with less water usage. It is the same in your
washing machine.
However, different
garments and materials may require that you use lower temperatures,
and you may continue to do so. We have had many customers report
excellent results using just cold water with the Laundry System.
For the reason outlined above, we still like to recommend hot
water to users--but you ultimately have the freedom to test using
the product in a variety of ways, and choose whatever option works
best for your personal situation.
Q. What sort
of benefits can I expect with the Laundry System?
A. Many benefits. Most
importantly if you or your family suffers from detergent related
sensitivities like skin problems and/or respiratory issues, you
owe it to your health to switch to our non-chemical alternative
product. From a financial standpoint, you should be able to save
hundreds of dollars a year on detergents, and even more if you
bypass the rinse cycle since you would not need it any longer
(which would also save gallons of water per cycle, a significant
amount of our natural resources). You will save time, reduce your
effort with your laundry and avoid lugging a large detergent container
from the store every time you buy it. Your wardrobe (which is
a considerable investment) may last a lot longer because of the
reduction of harsh chemicals. It makes your home more “green”
and also more child friendly by reducing the amount of toxins
in the home. It may have a massive impact on the environment by
less chemical dumping and reducing our dependence on foreign petrochemicals
(Yes, your detergents are petrochemicals derived from crude oil).
Q. What does
Life Miracle Laundry System® mean for the environment?
A. The most obvious
and important fact is that using the Laundry System instead of
detergents is preventing petrochemicals from getting dumped into
our fresh water supplies, helping to preserve our most valuable
natural resource critical for human survival. Furthermore, bypassing
the rinse cycle can save massive additional water usage (several
gallons of fresh water per load), electricity (derived mostly
from burning coal and oil which are big pollutants), natural gas
(for heating the extra water) and sewage. It also may possibly
help reduce the causes of global warming--since such a massive
amount of detergents are made and used around the world, significant
resources (fossil fuels) are used in its manufacturing and delivery.
Q. Sometime
the Laundry System units end up sticking together after I run
a wash cycle. Is this OK or am I doing something wrong?
A. This is perfectly
fine and will not detrimentally affect their ability to clean.
If you want to separate them, you can put them in different pockets
of a par of pants you are washing to keep them separated.
Q. Do the Laundry
System units have to stick to the inside of the water drum to
work properly?
A. No. There are a
variety of washing machines from front loaders to top loaders,
and interior washing drums ranging across plastic, iron and stainless
steel. The Laundry System works in all of them. The laundry units
just need to be submerged and/or in close proximity to the water
for maximum effectiveness.
Q. I have a
newer front loading washing machine that has electronics on it.
Can I use the Laundry System with my machine?
A. Absolutely. We just
recommend that if you have a front loader, you place the Laundry
System units in a pair of socks or pants pockets before running
the cycle. This eliminates any noise the force of the horizontal
axis may create. And though magnetic force should not be in direct
contact with electronics, the Laundry System is used in the water
drum and is far enough away to have zero impact on the electronic
controls if used properly. Just do not rest them on the electronic
control panel. Also, the two Laundry System units combined weigh
just a fraction of one pair of wet jeans (12 ounces compared to
80 ounces respectively). So you need not be concerned with any
significant added weight.
Q. Can the
Laundry System make my clothes clean and bright like detergents
do?
A. That depends on
your definition of “clean” and “bright”.
When comparing the usage of the Magnetic Laundry System with laundry
detergent, you need to factor in a few things. First of all, detergents
are not soap. They are chemical surfactant petrochemicals derived
directly from crude oil, and these chemicals are designed to not
be completely rinsed out after washing your clothes. They leave
behind what are called “optical brighteners” which
are synthetic chemicals that reflect more light off the clothing
to appear “brighter” to the eye. We do not believe
that adding what are, in effect, chemical mirrors to a garment
makes them cleaner. These synthetic chemicals convert UV light
wavelengths into visible light, which makes laundered clothes
appear whiter (although does not actually affect the cleanliness
of the clothing). They've been found to be toxic to fish and to
cause bacterial mutations. Furthermore, they can cause allergic
reactions when exposed to skin that is later exposed to sunlight.
In fact, because these
chemicals have the possibility of triggering health problems and
may cause environmental distress, we believe leaving them on the
clothing seriously compromises their cleanliness. Most people
aren’t even aware that potentially harmful petrochemicals
derived from crude oil are constantly on their clothes, possibly
causing the wearer skin and respiratory ailments. We define clean
as chemical-free, non-harmful to the wearer and non-toxic to the
environment, in addition to being optically acceptable. But only
you, the user and owner of the product can determine that. We
feel there are many people out these just like us that don’t
want to walk around with petrochemicals and optical brighteners
imbued in their clothes all day long.
Q. Will the
cost of laundry detergents go up as the cost of crude oil goes
up?
A. This would seem
to be a certainty. Detergents are chemical surfactant petrochemicals
derived from crude oil. The basic building blocks for surfactants,
with one exception, are all derived from crude oil. Unless detergent
companies choose to cut their profit margins to keep the cost
of detergent down, you will be paying more and more for your detergent
just as you are paying more and more to fuel your car. As the
raw material cost for detergent escalates, so will the detergent
cost to the end users. In addition to that, their plastic containers
(which are made from only 25% post consumer recycled plastic)
are made from petrochemicals, and it costs more to ship these
bulky and heavy bottles because of record-high fuel prices. These
additional costs end up being paid for by the end user as well.
Q. I'm somewhat
skeptical but keeping an open mind here - partly because I believe
the human race is slowly poisoning itself through it's food and
water supply. And I have grandkids with signs of what I consider
allergies and am concerned about what goes into their bodies and
what they are exposed to. Can you put my mind at ease about trying
your product?
A. You don't HAVE to
be skeptical. We offer an unconditional 30-day in home risk free
trial. We have the unimpeachable credibility of two patents on
this technology, and independent laboratory testing on the product
proving it’s effectiveness as well. The Laundry System is
truly amazing and it really, really works. But the best part is
that YOU ultimately decide if you love the product or not. If
you aren’t completely convinced that the Laundry System
cleans as good or better than your favorite detergent in your
OWN washing machine, we don’t deserve to keep your money,
and you are entitled to a full product refund.
We make absolutely
sure our customers have nothing to lose, and we completely take
your risk out of the equation and put it on us. You, the user,
are the ultimate arbiter of what cleaning solutions you are happiest
with using in your home, and we want you to have the option to
continue to use our product if it works better for you, or the
freedom to go back to detergent if you so wish with absolutely
no financial loss on your part. Don’t be afraid to try something
that can significantly improve your life!
Q. I just don't
get how you can clean my clothes without soaps. Can you please
explain this to me? It just doesn't make sense.
A. First of all, you
need to know that you are not washing your clothes with soaps,
and you probably never have in your lifetime. Detergents are not
soaps. They are, again, petrochemicals derived from crude oil.
Water is the universal solvent. Water is what ultimately cleans
your clothes whether you use laundry detergents, or the Magnetic
Laundry System. All these products do is help water to clean better.
We do it on a chemical-free, completely renewable magnetic basis,
while they do it using non-renewable petrochemicals. Magnetic
force is one of the most powerful natural forces on earth. In
fact, the earth itself is like a giant magnet with a north and
south pole. It is an amazing source of natural energy. Even the
weak magnets on your refrigerator defy the force of gravity without
batteries or being plugged into any power source. We are simply
harnessing that amazing force and focusing it in your home washing
machine to affect the water. At an atomic level, everything is
affected by magnetics. All you need to do it try is for yourself
and see the results with your own eyes.
Q. I think
I have heard of "laundry balls" before. Isn't this the
same thing?
A. The Magnetic Laundry
System is completely unlike anything you have seen or heard about
before. We don't even like to refer to them as laundry balls because
this is such a unique process and technology. This is a twice-patented
technology based upon harnessing permanent magnetic force to assist
the washing process. The "laundry ball" products you
may have heard of are typically little chemical pellets in a vented,
round plastic sphere. These chemical pellets are used up after
a number of washes, and then need to be refilled. It is still
a little better than detergent from an environmental standpoint,
but the process remains a chemical one (very similar to detergents)
and could not be more dissimilar to our patented magnetic process.
