If you’re thinking that a laundry eradicator is a complex device that you’ll never be able to understand, your sadly mistaking. Laundry eradicator is just a fancy term to describe a magnet that is used to clean clothing instead of your every day detergents. A laundry eradicator is basically a ceramic ball which has suspended magnets inside of it. This ball can replace your everyday laundry detergents and clean the clothing instead. In fact, the eradicator does all the work detergent but doesn’t wear out the material as fast. You may be wondering how magnetism can ever clean clothing. Soon that will be explained, so prepare to be amazed.

To wash clothes you need water. Water is a polar molecule and is made up of only two different types of atoms. It consists of two hydrogen atoms that have positive charges, and one oxygen atom that has a negative charge. In fact, it is a very simple molecule if you think about it. If water is a polar molecule, that just means that the positively charged hydrogen atoms are attached to a neighboring negatively charged oxygen atoms. In fact, the oxygen molecules are so close to other hydrogen that a very strong bond is formed between them so they stick close together. This causes the surface tension of the water to be very great because the water molecules are really close together and tight.

The strong magnetic field created by the eradicator causes all of the polar molecules to separate and actually align. This finally breaks those strong polar bonds in the water and gives the water a much lower surface tension. In addition, the water molecules align in such a way that the hydrogens are facing in one direction and the oxygens are facing in the other. This alignment causes the "drops" of water to become so small that they can actually penetrate the fabric and easily remove dirt. Furthermore, with the lower surface tension of the water, the polarizing of the water increases what’s called the water’s "free charge". What this now means is the dirt in the clothing can be easily grabbed and removed. When this occurs, the water is considered "activated".
