Review on Wool Dryer Balls - Natural Fabric Softener: Save Time and Money with Reusable Balls, Reduce Wrinkles. Say Goodbye to Plastic Balls and Liquid Softener! (Pack of 6) by Mary Hovatter

>. This is a ransom. That said, I bought six of these a few years ago, and now my candy needs more. They work? Yes, they do. When used in proportion to the volume of your wet clothes, they can cut your drying time by about a third, and they produce well-soft, odor-free clothes. [Unless you perfume them like some do.]>. Be careful not to tuck these skeins into the sleeves of long-sleeved shirts, even if they're unbuttoned, as they can get stuck inside and into the fold space [if not your laundry room itself] that's hidden from folding. Nothing holds these balls together [without glue etc.] so after a few years [5 in our case] of daily family use they sometimes leave behind fibers. This is your hint to get new orbs.>. Are these economical? I would say yes We used a fresh dryer sheet with every load, maybe 10 a week. Boxes of 50 are only a few dollars, but we didn't want odors on our clothes. Now, five years later, we have NOT bought 50 boxes of dryer sheets (10 boxes a year for 5 years), so we've saved $150 in that time. Not much, but in our case, saving without losing functionality is valuable in itself.>. Can they completely replace dryer sheets? Yes. If you want scented clothes [not for me or sweetie] you can add your own scent to the balls and I'm sure the scent will reliably transfer to your clothes. [Without personal experience, we bought them to AVOID odors.]>. I gave them away and they were well received. Just a thought.
