— 1 — Barbara, one of our newest recruits owns a Brand X washing machine. A “google” search reveals there is a mildew/mold issue in some of the models .
Mold builds on the “boot”. The Brand X washing machine company has had to replace the boot in Barbara's machine every year for 3 years. Since using LP, mold accumulations have disappeared, the mildew-y smell is gone from her laundry except for some towels which she plans to replace. This is the first satisfactory result she’s ever had with her washer. She touts the wonders of LP cleaning up the problem….
If I can suggest: the “magic” formula for a successful outcome in my old top loader … LaundryPure water and ecoH in a spray bottle. I have removed every stain except for a French’s Mustard stain which was reduced to a pale tan… I put a drop of chlorine bleach on a cotton swab, dabbed the tan residue for a bright white result.
Expect no more from your LP than a result you would get from tossing in a load in hot/warm water with measure of detergent, however, expect you will be using cold water and no detergent. If your whites normally have needed an occasional shot of bleach or bluing (use great care in measuring/mixing bluing), then use occasional extra booster of bleach or bluing. If grime, collars, food stains, blood etc would normally need attention, then use the LaundryPure Water with ecoH as a pretreatment!

— 2 — Hi. My name is Walter Costenbader and I am a new dealer in EcoQuest. John and Gloria Eden are my senior partners. I hail from Biloxi, Mississippi.
I just viewed Andy Scott's PowerPoint Presentation on the LaundryPure and stains. It is very well done! When we purchased our Technology Master Pack, it included a LaundryPure, and I want you to know of our similar results with a "stain test" of our own. I was skeptical and my wife was extremely skeptical to say the least! We took one of my light gray work shirts (already dirty from work) and she proceeded to decimate the front of it with very heavily ground in pink lipstick, ketchup, mustard, dirt and grass stains! I told her to forget it and just throw it a way! She put the shirt out on the line to dry for a couple of days and then put it in the dirty clothes bin for a few more days. When she got to my work clothes, she put 10 pairs of my Dickie-style work pants (I'm a heavy equipment mechanic) in the washer with NO detergents of any kind! She began to fill the washer. From out of nowhere, she let out a scream! I flew into the laundry room to find her half in the washer tub. She told me that she sees it, but she doesn't believe it! I looked for myself and the water was black, the agitation hadn't even started yet! You could not see the blue pants at all, the only thing you could see was an occasionally white pocket floating by. While the washer was filling, I took my destroyed T-shirt to the kitchen sink and sprayed it down with a solution of ecoH (80% ecoH to 20% water). It sat on top of the other T-shirts for about 20-30 minutes while the pants went through their wash cycle. When she put it in the washer, she put a safety pin in it to ID it. When it was finished, you could find NO stains whatsoever!!! No ketchup, mustard, lipstick, or anything. She was flabbergasted! Needless to say, that LP went straight on the wall and she returned her unopened boxes of detergents to Wal-Mart.
Yes, this was a light gray shirt, but we were both very, very, impressed. I have been happily married to my wife, Vonne, for 21 years and in that time, she has never been excited about or been up until midnight doing laundry -- until now. Just thought I would drop you a line from fellow believers!
Sincerely,
Walter Costenbader Coastal Pure Air & Water |

— 3 — Dear Karen,
I'd like to share our first week's experience with the new LaundryPure. Two events really caught my attention. First, my wife is blessed with an extremely sensitive nose to smells or fragrances. After washing her favorite throw from our couch, she brought it to me saying, "Smell this. What do you smell?" I took a big whiff and said, "Nothing, really, besides it seems fresh." "Exactly! There's no perfume or phony clean smell. It just smells fresh and clean!" She was very pleased.
Our second revelation was our front door entry rug. It is white, of all things, and shows dirt very easily. I had earlier thought that, of course shirts, pants, socks and bedding would come clean with "just water", but this entry rug was a bigger test. I couldn't believe it when I first saw it after drying -- you would've thought it was nearly new and not a trace of road or parking lot grime! There obviously is more to the water than meets the eye.
Count us as two impressed new consumers and dealers. We look forward to sharing this technology with as many as will listen.
Dr. Dan and Lisa Ulseth Sacramento, CA

— 4 — LaundryPure Experiences by Carlene Hutchins
I have to
admit, though; I am a skeptic, and the “What if it
doesn’t_____” questions were also plaguing me.
It was returned to us on Sunday afternoon, when we had a house full of company. I had wanted to have a private trial, but everyone was excited to watch the whole process. In literally ten minutes, the unit was installed, and Ed was saying, “You get the ruler and I’ll get the towels.” He wanted to recreate the towel-volume test he had seen in the EcoQuest literature. We measured the stack of 4 towels we had taken from the bathroom, put them through one wash cycle, and measured again. The original stack measured 8 inches, and the fluffier LaundryPure towels now measured almost 12. As soon as we finished the experiment, Ed was upstairs to find another challenge. He found another load, including a pair of casual slacks he had stained with blackberry jam. He turned to me, “Where’s the camera? We have to take before and after pictures.”
I have never seen him interested in
laundry in our 35 years of marriage. I’m thinking, “This product
may be worth more than anyone first realized!” With a crowd
looking on, I took the slacks from the dryer to find the stain
gone and the material wrinkle free and soft.

— 6 — Very Special Story "fine Irish linen"
I have never sent it to a laundry or dry cleaner. With care, though, it is still stain-free after all these years. I used LaundryPure to wash it Christmas Day right after dinner. No additives or detergent. I did squirt a couple of soiled places with diluted ecoH.
The tablecloth and napkins look great.
I feel confident that since we won’t need to use any more soaps or detergents on this ever again, my newborn little great-granddaughter will have this passed along to her from her great, great, grandmother.
It is just a tablecloth and napkins, no really big deal I guess, except for having a nice little tradition. LaundryPure did a great job and I’m grateful!

The following is the testimonial letter from the lady who has a chicken farm for Tyson Foods.
Nancy & Bill,
We are poultry growers for Tyson Foods. My spouse's clothing has a very foul odor (unintended pun -- fowl odor, too). We are very concerned and cautious about bacteria being transmitted to our family, having three children. His clothing had to be washed 3 times in hot water using tide with bleach and sometimes that didn't remove the odors. Since purchasing the LaundryPure, we now have eliminated the hot water and detergent and I only have to wash his clothing one time to remove all the odors. We are so excited to be using the LaundryPure. The cost of the LaundryPure will be much more cost efficient due to the elimination of the detergent and hot water I have been using (and the multiple washes).
Thanks So Much Bill & Nancy!!!

You have heard the line about the fellow who refuses to give up his guns. He says, “They can have my guns when they pry my cold, dead hands off them.” I feel the same way about the LaundryPure! It is an amazing product and we are enjoying it very much.

We washed a crocheted Afghan. It came out really soft despite its coarse type of yarn. Mom's comment was that it smelled "clothesline fresh."
|
|
My wife Tina doesn't believe something unless she can see the proof by herself.
Well, I installed
the LP last Sunday (very easy) and then she tried the dirtiest clothes
she could find, including the kitchen towels. When she pulled them out
of the washer, she was stunned of how clean they were, "...Even better than
a regular wash with detergent and bleach!" Those were her words. She
went on and on about the clean smell of this load, and later that day called her sister in
California and her daughter.
|
|
Is this a better way of doing laundry? Without a doubt, it is—as far as we are concerned. Why would we ever want to return to the ‘old way' of washing our clothing, bedding, towels, etc.
|
|
We are very pleased with the LaundryPure. It has exceeded our expectations.
|
|
I did 6 loads yesterday and wow does it feel great to just 'toss & turn'— no softener, no detergent. Just throw them in and turn on the machine! It's amazing how much soap residue comes out of a load the first few times you wash WITHOUT detergent!!!
|
|
My first impression of LaundryPure came from a load of sheets. The unbelievable smell of freshness in the washing water during the wash cycle simply amazed us. The last time I smelled that smell was years ago when I used to have to hang laundry on the clothesline in freezing weather and they would actually freeze and dry at the same time. We should bottle and sell that fragrance.

My friend Shirley brought home a holly bush in the back seat of her car. She has cloth seats and it left three VERY unattractive red stains. Today I took some water from the LaundryPure and a clean cloth. Within SECONDS the stains were GONE! She was THRILLED! Just thought I'd pass along the experience!

My daughter Janel gave me a blouse that she refused to wear because it suffered from "ring around the collar" big time! I mixed ecoH with water and used a tooth brush to scrub it a little. Later I put it in the LaundryPure wash. It came out so clean that she took it back!

A thank you is in order for the opportunity to be a part of the LaundryPure testing. We received our unit right before Thanksgiving 2005.
We started using it the following week, and it has gotten a workout. With 5 kids it has been tested on dirty clothes, some soiled with the remains of dirty diapers, some mud and slush from snow, and a ton of smelly socks. The results have been awesome!
|
|
Fluffiness test: Hand towels from a nursing home. 5 cleaned at the nursing home: height--------4.3" 5 washed once---------------------------------5.5 5 washed twice--------------------------------6.0 5 washed three times-------------------------6.5 And no detergent or bleach to irritate the residents' skin. This is impressive.
|

I am testing the LaundryPure with many different fabrics and the results are blowing my mind!
|
|
We purposely washed some smelly washcloths and hand towels and left them in the washer overnight. Normally when doing this we would have to rewash the clothes because after sitting in the washer overnight they would smell terrible in the morning. Much to our pleasure, the clothes smelled fresh, like they did the night before. No rewash needed.

Dear Dealer/Friend:
As you are probably aware, EcoQuest has launched a new product—LaundryPure. I was reserving comment until I received my own unit. I'd like to list my observations along with selling points for you to absorb, digest and pass on to others.
I strongly urge you to order one for yourself, here's why:
1. I am what some people call a tree-hugger. I love all the beauty God has created for us and advocate saving His/our natural resources as they have, unfortunately, become a premium—clean water being #1. Having served on the Northern York Water Resources Committee here in Pennsylvania, I became acutely aware of the absolutely HUGE amount of pollutants that society dumps into our waterways ... 24/7, with phosphates from detergents being the main curse. I live within the Chesapeake Watershed area although I am 100 miles away from the bay itself and I am comforted by the thought that I am DEPOSITING SOAP-FREE WATER BACK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT with this water eventually making its way to the Bay. This is my first hot button. Remember too that a huge number of people have great difficulty with their septic systems due to the clogging action from using harmful detergents.
2. I can SAVE WATER. How can I do this? Because I can now combine whites with colored clothes (sometimes and with caution) and instead of doing 2 separate loads, I can do one. Did you ever have just a few items that needed to be cleaned immediately and, with your machine's water level set at the lowest point, it still deposited more water than you really needed to do that load? Well, now just throw in a few more items and you won't be wasting that water. Think of the value of this for draught-stricken areas where water supplies have become extremely low.
3. I am SAVING LANDFILL SPACE by not throwing away packaging. One or two detergent and softener containers per month is not many, but this can be multiplied through my sales and recruiting efforts.
4. I am SAVING MONEY by not having to purchase detergents, bleach and fabric softener (there is no static cling using LaundryPure). It will pay for itself and, when the silver needle or UV lights need replacing, they are reasonably priced. This appliance will serve you for many years to come. 5. My wash emerges 99.999% BACTERIA FREE. That is a huge issue for me. My husband developed a Staph infection years ago after having open heart surgery. He would have had a good deal more peace of mind knowing that no bacteria were on his clothes—but that was then. On a personal note, I often transport dogs as part of a countrywide network whose mission it is to help save the lives of these fabulous animals. On occasion I have transported dogs and puppies that, unknown to me, were sick with transmissible disease. Now I simply take the towels and other items that have come in contact with this, including my clothes, and wash all in LaundryPure, knowing it will be 99.999% bacteria free. Many sneakers are machine washable so you could throw those in too! Side note. I place my air purifier in my car to kill anything that may have become airborne. All this to save contamination to my own pets.
6. The CLOTHES ARE BRIGHTER. There is no doubt in my mind. I've washed 3-year old T-shirts to small braided rugs and noticed a definite difference.
7. Get a NATURAL HIGH. Just smell that water coming into your machine. It smells SO good—it's full of oxygen and ions—like a waterfall. A super way to start and end your day.
8. I am SAVING ENERGY costs by not using hot water and by being able to combine clothes which uses less electricity.
9. Because of number 8, I am helping to STOP GLOBAL WARMING.
10. By eliminating detergents and softeners, this appliance is great for people with skin allergies. For really tough stains, a pre-spotter may be required. Along with each order for LaundryPure, I am giving a quart of ecoH. This biodegradable cleaner can even be used to wash vegetables.
Here you have 10 great things to share about LaundryPure! Units can be purchased by credit card—customers pay over 4 months with no interest on the unpaid balance.
Wishing you great success and health, Cynthia Garryjohn

We noticed that our clothes do not seem to wrinkle as much. Whether we put them in the dryer or not, they come out less wrinkled. Washed-out colors started returning with the second wash. I tested a blue towel which had some small amounts of bleach splashed on it. The color had turned purplish. After some washings, the blue color came back, with a lot less purple color. That was really amazing.
Our clothes smell clean and fresh, and we also left a load in the washer after completion for 48 hours and it still smelled fresh. WOW!
When we first cleaned out our washer tub we noticed how dirty the top of it was at the water line. Now it is shiny clean. We will never be without a LaundryPure here!

Ours just works and works and works :-)) We did a load of gasoline-soaked towels yesterday. First wash got out almost all smell; second wash passed the wife test.
|
|
This is BIG!!!!!!!!!!! I left some towels in the washer for two days and there was no sour smell! I started to do some laundry this morning and I found a towel that was stuck to the top of the washer drum. The towel had been in the washer for one week! NO sour smell! I used it to dry off after my shower this morning and it smells as fresh as the other towels. This proves LaundryPure's ability to kill bacteria. That's all for now.
|
|
This is amazing! I even use the LP water as a pre-soak and carpet cleaner. The grandchildren are visiting. I put the baby’s bibs in a drain pan with LaundryPure water and let them soak. All the stains came out and they looked great. I’ve also used the water from the LaundryPure to clean up stains on my carpet.

|
You will never know how grateful I am to be a field tester. God must have had you pull my name out of the list of people anxious to be an early participant. I am so thrilled.

Xxxx took our LaundryPure to work. The Janitor does 4 - 5 loads a night and they have a regular sized top loading machine. They wash their mop heads that get really black. They are greasy because they use Pine Sol. Usually, they use Tide and bleach and still there is a black ring in the washer tub they used to clean out with ammonia.
When they washed the mops with the LaundryPure alone, they were pretty clean and the washer ring of black could just be wiped out—no need to scrub with ammonia. When they washed the dust mop heads a second time, they came out cleaner than they did with Tide and bleach. The washer tub was cleaner too.
They had a rancid oil smell in their kitchen towels even after using Tide and Bleach on them. Washing in the LaundryPure got rid of the odor. We don't know if this odor is coming from something in the kitchen, or if it is because they use the same machine to wash the really dirty stuff as well as the kitchen towels, but the LaundryPure took care of it during this test.
My husband brought the LaundryPure back to our home; and now their towels at work are getting that smell again. They love the product and want one.

Response to someone who asked about blood stains...
Honestly, I have had no residue with blood stains after spraying ecoH (mixing 1 ounce of ecoH to 12 ounces of LP water). As you spray it, fresh blood dissolves as if it were melting. This should be allowed to work for a couple of minutes before washing.
If the blood has penetrated deeply into the fibers, soaking in a basin of cool salt water will help break down the protein. These steps would also be required if I were using the old detergent process.
Oxy-Clean (which you asked about) is a peroxide-like bleaching product. LaundryPure water is high in peroxides due to our RCI process.
BIZ enzyme additive will also break down protein stains as well as things like raw fruit juice stains… BIZ is no more "magic" than LP and ecoH. An overnight soak is required to remove the worst of stains like on a butcher's garments.
Please expect your LP to accomplish what you would have accomplished with detergent and hot water. If you pretreated a type of soil or stain for that, then you can safely presume to do that with LP. What you CAN expect from your LP is germ-free, fresh smelling, clean laundry without using the hot water and detergents you used to use!
Expect your colors to stay brighter, with less wear on fabrics because detergents drain life and color out of fabrics, whereas LP does not. You can expect the freshest, softest, most absorbent, fluffiest towels you ever used; and the most wonderfully fresh bed linens.
I don’t have to pre-treat every garment or every load. I do not wash black, red, white garments in one load.. I sort laundry and always have been attentive to that. Don’t be too ready to think this appliance is some sort of miracle machine that will remove imbedded soils like years of oil and grease from a mechanic shop towel load, or 8 years of detergents in a load of hotel towels. (As a field tester, you can guess how I know that those are real expectations from intelligent people.)

I had a great success with a blood stain. No pre-treating, completely removed the stain with just the LaundryPure!
|

Several months ago I got a quarter-sized stain on a white shirt. It didn't come out in the regular wash (before I had a LaundryPure) so I put some ecoH on the spot and washed it a second time. It was still there.
Conventional wisdom says that if you have washed and dried something and a spot or stain is still there, it will ALWAYS be there. So my shirt was about to hit the rag bag.
But I decided to give LaundryPure a chance. As soon as my LaundryPure was installed, I once again pre-spotted with ecoH on the stain and tossed that shirt into my first wash.
Now we are playing "Find the Spot," and we can't. WOW!!!!
Karen Schwelling
PS - While I was folding yesterday's wash I discovered I was missing one of Patrick's socks. I looked back in the washer and found where it had been hiding. I smoothed it out and its almost dry and fine!

My first impression of LaundryPure came from a load of sheets. The unbelievable smell of freshness in the washing water during the wash cycle simply amazed us. The last time I smelled that smell was years ago when I used to have to hang laundry on the clothesline in freezing weather and they would actually freeze and dry at the same time. We should bottle and sell that fragrance.

Our towels have much more loft and because of that, absorb more quickly, feel fresh, look nicer. I like to keep decorative baskets in the bathrooms filled with fresh towels. A basket that formerly held 6 towels now only holds 4.
The most notable and really amazing success for me is dark and black colors. The removal of past laundry product residue is my only explanation for understanding why our black garments that had a grayish and therefore worn/faded appearance now look new again.
One pair of slacks that had a pretty sheen to the fabric looked drab after having been laundered only once. Now, after only one LaundryPure wash, the sheen is back, the color is truly black again. LaundryPure has the slacks looking just like they did when they came from the store.
|
|
Is this a better way of doing laundry? As far as we are concerned, why would we ever want to return to the ‘old way' of washing our clothing, bedding, towels, etc.
|
|
LaundryPure is definitely a permanent fixture in our household. We have family and customers waiting for them and we are generating more interest in the business with this prospect of a brand new market.

LaundryPure Water is NOT for Internal Consumption
LaundryPure uses advanced oxidation and the creation of silver ions to wash laundry. Although LaundryPure is effective at killing up to 99.9999% of bacteria in the laundry wash water, this product is not intended for human or animal consumption.
Much has been written about the positive health effects of Colloidal Silver. LaundryPure does not create Colloidal Silver, but instead, it uses electrolysis of silver to create approximately 30 ppb of silver nano ions. This low-level silver ion concentration is very effective at killing bacteria as well as getting trapped in the clothing providing an antibacterial effect as you wear the clothing. Although 30 ppb of silver nano ions is not a heath risk, prolonged consumption of silver can cause Argyria, an "irreversible discoloration of the pigment (skin) caused by excessive silver intake or chronic exposure to silver by certain tissues.” (Alexander G. Schauss, Ph.D., Director, Life Sciences Division Johns Hopkins University).
C omments by Dr. Brent Allan, EcoQuest Medical Director:
There is no evidence that consuming ionic silver is healthy for any reason. While topical silver does have bactericidal properties it is not safe to consume by mouth. Colloidal minerals are different than chelated minerals and most are not absorbed by the gut for digestion because of the increased molecular size. The FDA/FTC both determined that the colloidal silver product (Sea Silver) was not only ineffective, it was harmful. EcoQuest does not want its customers or business owners drinking LaundryPure water with silver ions.
LaundryPure is an excellent product for washing clothing. If you are looking for a Water Purification Product we suggest you evaluate the Living Water product line for point-of-use and the SpringHouse for whole-house water purification.
