Magnetic Laundry Scam
Thursday, January 1st, 2009Recently, while browsing for eCards to send on care2.com, I was presented with an ad for nomoredetergent.com, a Web site which claims to sell a “Breakthrough Invention Which Washes Your Clothes For Free Without Toxic Chemicals, Saves Your Family’s Skin Health, and Your Money!”
The “invention” they sell is two magnets encased in rubbery plastic, which you’re supposed to put into your washing machine instead of detergent. The Web site claims, “Research by Physicist Dr. Hendrick Lorentz shows that with the right magnetic fields, water molecules (H2O) [sic] are made to have similar effects that detergent chemicals do… in other words, they stick to other tiny particles like dirt, and carry them off!”
I was dubious, as you probably are as well. But Care2 is a pretty reputable site, and the upside of never needing to pay for or use laundry detergent again is pretty high. Furthermore, I figured that if it was a scam, then I’d have fun performing an experiment to prove it. So I went ahead and ordered a set of the magnets.
So, what do you think… Is it a scam or isn’t it? Read on to find out.
