Dryerballs
The pink and blue dryerballs® mechanical softeners have different tensile strengths and different shaped softening nodes. They work together in the tumble dryer to mechanically soften fabrics without the harmful chemicals found in fabric softener and dryer sheets.
The dryerballs® lift and separate the laundry whilst drying, thus reducing drying time and creasing. The dryerballs® softeners also retain the heat and transfer it to the clothes as they tumble, further speeding up the drying process.
There is no need to add a chemically laden “softening” dryer sheet or use fabric softener in your wash. Place both dryerballs® softeners in the tumble dryer and operate the machine at the usual heatsetting for the fabrics. dryerballs® mechanical softeners are re-usable – just leave them in the tumble dryer to get the benefits time and time again!

Radiator Booster – Efficient Heating from a conventional radiator
Radiator Booster is an innovative and brand new eco-friendly product that can heat your room faster, save energy at the same time and reduce your heating bills.
Simply place a Radiator Booster on the top/rear of a standard domestic water filled radiator, plug it in, and away it goes.
This ingenious and unique UK Registered design uses miniature 12-volt electric fans to suck the heated air from behind the radiator, firing it into your room far quicker than any natural convection in addition to reducing the heat losses through the wall behind your radiator. Heating rooms quicker allows your heating system to shut down far sooner, saving you huge amounts of energy.
Help save the planet and cut your energy bills, all for a running cost of about 30p a year! Each white coloured RB1-700 Radiator Booster weighs only 150gms, is 700mm in length and around 56mm square.
How does Radiator Booster actually work and save energy?
This ingenious device works in 2 ways:
- Your central heating boiler will use around 15 kilowatts of energy every hour (some even more). The clever fan arrangement within the Radiator Booster™ draws heat from your radiator, heating your room in up to half the time, allowing your boiler to shut down much sooner. If you could save just one hour a week of your boiler working, you would save 15 kilowatts of energy. You could easily find the savings more than this, between 7 and 14 hours/week (over 100 kilowatts) during the colder months.
- As your radiator heats up, the ‘rear’ surface normally radiates heat onto your wall, heating this up, which in turn is lost through the wall structure due to conduction. The Radiator Booster™ sucks most of this wasted heat and fires it into your room, significantly reducing the losses, saving you even more energy. It really is as simple as that!
How much energy does it really save?
This will depend on how you use the Radiator Booster, and for how long. But UK energy providers state that reducing your thermostat setting by one degree Celsius could save the average home £49/year or 10% of your heating bills. Most tests carried out with Radiator Booster™ have achieved more than 2 degrees reduction.
Can I use it on oil filled radiators, electric storage radiators, or electric convection radiators?
NO. These types of radiator reach far higher surface temperatures than water filled radiators. These higher temperatures will distort and damage the housing and fans of Radiator Booster™.
How much electricity does it use, and is it safety approved?
The Radiator Booster™ has been tested and approved by an independent laboratory, and conforms to all aspects of CE Certification. Each fan is rated at < 1.0 watt, 12v DC, and each unit is supplied complete with a full set of instructions. Should you operate a Radiator Booster™ for 500 hours, is should use approximately 1kW of electricity (less than 10p for most homes).
Will I need to put one of these in every room?
We would recommend you place one in each room that you regularly use, but it shouldn’t be necessary for other rooms. After all, you could unplug and move one very easily if necessary.
Can you hear it working?
YES. The small fans used in Radiator Booster™, like any fans, make an audible humming noise.”The fans used in Radiator Booster are similar to those used in home computers and operate at around the same audible level.” During the summer most of us use large noisy desktop/ pedestal fans to help keep us cool, and in the winter noisy electric fan heaters to help keep us warm. Radiator Booster™ costs virtually nothing to run and is considerably quieter than either of these.

The Eco Showerdrop
In the UK, we use around 150 litres of water a day. Typically, 35% of that is in the bathroom. That’s also the place we use most hot water.
Jacob Tompkins, Director of Waterwise states ‘Showering accounts for about one third of the total water used in the home and this is the fastest growing sector of water use. Devices like the Showerdrop shower meter help consumers become more aware of how much water they need to shower. It can help to save water and energy.’
Of course we all know that a shower uses much less water than a bath – or does it? A bath holds about 80-100 litres of water. But a modern power shower can easily use 20 litres of water a minute, meaning more than five minutes in the shower could use more than 100 litres.
Different flow rates and different showerheads mean that water use varies. So whilst simply timing your shower is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t tell you how much water is being used.
The Eco Showerdrop is the world’s first low-cost, universal shower meter. A simple digital display lets you know exactly how much water your shower dispenses through user-friendly graphics. A simple alert tells you when the recommended amount of water has been dispensed.
If you use the Eco Showerdrop the savings can be substantial in both water and energy. For a family of four that could be over £180 a year saved on water and energy bills, as well as over 40,000 litres of water and two thirds of a tonne of carbon!
There’s no installation for the Eco Showerdrop, just a very simple set-up, and no tools are required.
