Today on Brenda K we're gonna talk about cleaning your clothes with no detergent!
It's exactly what I said, clean your clothes with no detergent. Watch today's
show to find out how.
and we're talking about purification systems and laundry with no soap is
introduced to you we've got Byron and we've got Ron back from Aerus. Thank you
so much guys. Okay this is fascinating. I'm talking to Ron and he said "Brenda,
you can clean your clothes and never buy detergent again."
Yeah detergent-less laundry system.
Okay tell us about that.
Certainly, so it's a little box we hook to your- above your washer as such mostly
and we take the cold water
line off your washer and screw into it and then a new line will come with it so
the water the cold water will go through this little box before it goes in your
washer. Just completely detergent. No fabric softener, no bleach, no hot water.
Nothing required and what its gonna do is infuse your water with a high grade
of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide gas from the surrounding air. So the oxygen will
help lower the surface friction of the fabric because that's actually what
detergent does is surface friction and locus of the water can get in and clean
your clothes and the peroxide will sterilize all your clothes like it was
using in hot water or using bleach--
And get the stains--
Get the most things out
as good as any detergent, a little bit better. If you had a white shirt on like
I do today you just spilled a meatball down over and had a spaghetti stain--
Which could be tough for any detergent.
You would use a pre spray and hope it comes
out. The same concept with our deters on the system but there's no smells, no
chemicals because as you as you wear your clothes during the day
you're gonna heat up in it's called a region so your body absorbs all those
gases from your clothes and there's been studies on it to show how fresh clothes
out the laundry is unhealthy.
It's healthier to wear clothes out of the laundry hamper
because it's already off gassed.
Really? And verybody loves the smell. Don't you all love the
smell of your clean clothes? You're just like (inhales)
We're all programmed.
Yeah thing is these
companies produce you know these chemicals you know to give that you know
it's like it's like food like they make these things taste good and taste great
but you know it's not healthy.
You're true like you know yeah MSG.
So that smell that you're smelling is actually chemicals that are for you know
that are man-made chemicals so you really want the absence of the smell. You
wanna you know and then you know and basically
with this laundry Pro you well this you know if you if you hung your stuff
outside I mean that sort of I guess fresher smell but of course and
then with the detergent you get fading and so on as well--
So you have no colour loss?
No, not like in a detergent. Very little colour loss. We've
knows a lot of dark clothes, black clothes like your shirt
would not turn gray or turn off colour take a long time for it because detergents
is one of the biggest things that wears on your clothes
that's a wearable--
They all come up with the wash in cold water and doesn't
fade and that's all you hear. What about gentle clothes, like I buy like Woolite.
Gentle clothes is fine too as long as it water is fine for it. Any
kind of you know silks everything as long as you can throw in your washer it's
fine and there's using cold water so no shrinkage your like that. Reds and
everything we can notice really brighten up once we get the detergent out of the
clothes after some washed a couple times. The detergent leaves the clothes and it
seems to brighten up the clothes is brighter.
Towels are big notice we knows what customers saying how the towels are
softer. So before they put four towels on a shelf, fold them up and put them certain
way. Well now they can only fit three because they're softer and
fluffier so you don't need that fabric softener. Usually only reason use fabric
softeners telling you on the bottle it's fabric softener because the
detergent made it hard--
That's true. I never thought of it that way .
So you don't need that stuff
to cover up the scents. The other thing we noticed with it too of
course is your washers no smells--
I remember when I first front-loading
washer and after about four or five months you're kinda like, "do my clothes
stink?" and they did! And I had- I was saying you I bleached it, it was crazy
trying to get the semll out. So now like I buy a $10 box of Borax and
every load I put in I have to put the Borax in.
Yeah the detergent will stick to the backside of a drum on a front loader
especially I've had so in that and it's like that that's you know it's gooey its
sticky so that holds the bacteria and that's what your smelling, the bacterial
growth. So when you go to wash your clothes
you're literally thrown it in bacteria first with all that detergent
back a grime--
So there's bacteria sitting in there plus you're putting your clothes
which are dirty and have bacteria. So you really not- you're cleaning the stains
off your clothes--
And you're injecting it with this chemical smell that, "oh, it must be clean. It smells
good."
But not getting the bacteria--
Not necessarily clean. It's a cover-up.
Exactly.
Because all we're looking for is that stain gone, is that line on the collar gone.
So you get rid of that bacteria. You don't get the smells in
your front loader like that anymore so it's shown it's helping your loader also
of course your everything's gonna dry a little bit faster because it's not
leading down with detergent that's still in it because as you pull clothes out of
the dryer when it's dry or get off the line they're still detergent in that.
Yeah, you'd still have to use your sheets or whatever it is you're using for your
dryer for softness or does it?
You can get rid of all that too. There's no
static into it we reverse flows even in fine fabric you don't that's that's the
That's the worst of for chemicals is that--
fabric softener. But if you don't use it
you your underwear sticking to your socks is that's pretty sure yeah no
there's no no no static cling to it anymore. The odd little piece of you know
special dress pants once in a while something like stick but same as if you
use a fabric you know like a Bounce sheet or something anyways but it's really
good of course it's really good for your if you're on sep. A lot of Nova Scotia's on
septic systems. I am myself and it's really good for your septic because
that detergent when it leaks out of the bottle and kind of lands on the washer and
it gets gooey that's how it's gonna stay even with adding it to water so once it
goes in your septic system it's one of the biggest things to kind of clog up
your system--
We tell people certain detergents yeah detergent is really
bad for it. So you can get rid of that and a lot healthier for your your septic
system. Of course you're not adding bleach to your septic system or any
other chemicals to dispose of.
Into the environment.
Exactly.
Or down your drain if you
know there's things they put it down the drain it's going but it's going into our
rivers and our streams also we can get rid of those detergents we'd be healthier.
So we said this earlier because someone had said you do over 300
loads of laundry a year and Ron was like, "No, I don't think." I'm like, "Oh yeah."
That seemed a little high.
Oh no like we when the kids were home, six loads a week,
52 weeks a year.
Family of four and the washer's on every day to keep up with the clothes.
So what would one of these units cost, Byron?
Yeah so right now the unit like this we have a
special on it they're at $699. It also comes with a
kind of a valve system on it. So what it is you can use that water anytime it has
a little tiny hose system so you can run it off and put it in a bucket or
spray bottle so you can do a hardwood floors with the same product--
Oh ,yeah, you mentioned windows.
Best window clean I've ever tried is from this. So hardwood floors,
ceramic tile, windows, countertops. Any hard surface you can clean with it
around your vehicle too.
What about streaks on that on the window?
Yeah, you won't get the streaks. There's no chemicals in it so it's just wipe
them down and they can stay wet the dampness and just it'll dry it off.
There you go people. I hate cleaning windows.
I never get the streaks off.
Windows are a hard thing so it does
great job and it has our space technology. It has ActivePure in it.
There's the same kind of cell inside that generates all this kind of magic
we'll call it yeah so nothing to really replace in ten years you'll change out a
cell a very small cell. There's no movable part and mechanical or moving
parts inside it's all venturi effect so there's nothing to wear down or break down.
Yeah and we were just saying earlier how about you were explaining to
me that it was invented for NASA because they can't have the off gases in their
chambers.
Yeah closed cell system so it's--
See, you started in space and you've
brought it down to earth for everyday use. That's amazing .
Yeah we're inducted
into this Space Technology Hall of Fame last year so we're the 75th product in
30 years of the inducted in where we bring technology back to earth.
It's quite a big deal.
Congratulations. That's amazing. And
just so that the viewers know because we all know Electrolux ,right? We all grew up
with our- this is I learned again today that Aerus is- it been around a long time
because they used to be Electrolux.
We're 97 years in business.
97 years.
We started as Electrolux and then about 16 years ago we started transition. We still
have a great vacuum line up. The only vacuums built in North America still.
Over products or 99% of our products are built in the US for us in our
own factory. So we started as Electrolux and then we transitioned into a
technology company. Now we're more of a space technology company than anything
else but we still we still stick to our roots and we still have a vacuum line up too.
Amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to come and explain this
to us.If you'd like more information on this
laundry system you can reach out to- Well, Ron your local here. So reach out to Ron.
We'll run Ron's number down bottom of the screen.
Byron, thank you.
