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
