[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] As the eco-friendly culture spreads, products boasting excellent cleaning and washing power using only water without detergent are being released one after another.

According to the industry on the 26th, companies are joining the eco-friendly culture by introducing eco-friendly products that can be cleaned using only water, such as ‘eco-friendly scrubbers’ that remove stubborn dirt with water alone, ‘laundry balls’ used instead of detergent, ‘drying balls’ replacing fabric softeners, and ‘laundry water’ without synthetic detergents.

Cleanwrap, a household goods company, launched the water-only cleaner, an eco-friendly scrubber that, as the name suggests, can thoroughly remove stubborn dirt using only water without detergent. Made from advanced new material melamine foam, it effectively removes hard-to-clean children's scribbles, old grime in bathrooms, kitchens, and sinks by gently rubbing. It is eco-friendly and easy to use since it only needs to be slightly moistened with water, wrung out, and wiped with a dry cloth without the need for fabric softeners, detergents, or bleach, making it very popular.

There are also various laundry balls that allow washing without detergent. Daylive’s representative Pure Clean Ball is an eco-friendly natural laundry ball, a detergent-free laundry product without added chemicals. The company explains that compared to using regular detergent, it shows higher deodorizing and bleaching power while minimizing damage to laundry. Additionally, the unique scent from the ceramic balls provides a fabric softener effect and can prevent static electricity.

Labelu from Tongin HNC is a laundry detergent made only with water without other chemicals. Labelu’s detergent-free cleaning technology transforms water into a functional washing agent, performing excellent washing without bleach or other chemical additives, which users evaluate as combining eco-friendliness with cleaning power. It is also good at removing grease stains and has the advantage of leaving no residual scent that may remain when using regular detergents.

An industry official said, “As ESG has recently become a key issue for companies, the demand and supply for eco-friendly products are steadily increasing, and accordingly, products that clean or wash using only water without detergent are expected to continue to increase. Consumers’ expectations for eco-friendly living are also gradually rising, so more diverse eco-friendly products are expected to be released in the future.”
