In some rare cases it can happen that the indicator in the washing machine is damaged by sharp objects such as a zipper (micro-cracks appear) and thus fades too early. However, this does not affect the effectiveness of the ball, since the indicator is not linked to the function of the ball. It is only a guide. So your ball is still fully effective.
Please use the ball with every wash and not just sporadically, otherwise it cannot develop its full effect.

Therefore we cannot guarantee for the results.
The quantity of silver that is transmitted from the treated dish towels to the cutlery and that is assimilated by the organism during its use has no physiological relevance and is completely harmless. Actually it is much less than the quantity that is incorporated during the use of silver cutlery.
Silver is active against bacteria, fungi and some viruses.
Long before the pharmaceutical industry invented antibiotics, nature had the best and most powerful remedy for viruses, harmful bacteria and fungi for humans: silver. In the first half of the last century, silver was still the gold standard in infection control. It was then replaced by cheaper alternatives. But now the qualities of silver have been rediscovered. Even in low concentrations, silver is effective against bacteria and fungi. This antimicrobial effect is based on the fact that silver cations inhibit the metabolism of microorganisms.
