Do dryer balls really work?

[Julia]

I've often wondered this and now that the weather has turned I'm wondering if they are worth it, apparently they cut drying time and fluff things up :confused

I have wondered that as well.

And i have to say your thread title gave me a damn good laugh, it sent my twisted sense of humour into overdrive :lol:

[ciderally]

It's blue balls on this side of the ocean -- they do work. :)

The wife has a pair. I always remove them as they make a right clattering noise. I don't believe they work either.

Do the platforms keep you out of the water when on the beach? ;)

This thread is going down hill fast.

Yes they really work, dries quicker and towels are fluffy. They do make a clattering noise at first, but it stops in a few minutes, as the wet clothes get balanced with the balls.

[Aaldtimer]

The wetter the better in my experience!:Razz

[Betty]

Yes, in my opinion they do work. I have used them for over a year and don't buy any fabric softener.

[Thumper]

They do help as they separate the clothes so air can get inbetween things and dry them more quickly.Also if you want to save some cash buy enviro wash balls,I did and I wasnt convinced they would work,but my son has so many allergies to washing powders/liquids and softeners that I bought them in desperation and was amazed at how good they are!Saving myself a fortune with them as well x

I have to admit I nearly spat the tea all over the keyboard when I read the title of this thread and with a laugh thought this is a question for hubby to answer as I dont have any :eek: :lol:

I then read the whole thread and gave my mucky mind a row ;)

[Fluff]

I always imagine they just get caught up with damp sheets etc.. Do they move around?
*No dirty comments pls!*

[joxville]

I have dryer balls. Can someone please come and help me get out of the machine. [lol]

Did they clatter about as much as people have said they do?

Bit of a mixed response here, I've gone ahead and purchased a pair of balls. I'll let you guys know if they make any difference.

I was born with mine.

[purplelady]

i have some and have had them for a couple of yrs and think they are great they do make a nosie for few mins but not long

[sweetpea]

Never tried them but have heard about them.

[loobyloo]

They're bloody noisy but they do cut the drying time!

[poppett]

Used them recently whilst house-sitting. Thank goodness the drier was in the garage as the noise could be heard the whole drying time. Don`t know if they shortened the drying time as it was a different model from mine, which dries the wettest of things in about half an hour.

You left yourself wide open with that one![lol]

[Kodiak]

Even if they do work as a softener the question I have is do they Cut down on the Static Electricity as that is the main reason we use a Fabric Softener.

I await your answers with baited breath.:lol:

[TBH]

They always get a good sprinkling with talc powder after I wash them which keeps them in good nick for their next usage.

Bait your breath no more...........


Yes, they do make the clothes soft.

You can sleep soundly tonight now ha ha :)

I await your answers with baited breath.:lol:Get some anti static strips, the ones you see on cars and attach them to your dryer balls. Should stop you getting zapped.

Have I read this right is it the balls that are full of static and zap your hands each time you touch them.....:eek: :confused or the clothes. :cool:

[Tilter]

Can anyone tell me why I'm howling with laughing, tears streaming down face, about the straight informative posts in this thread as much as all the other posts in it?

Long may it last. (BTW I am sans Dryer Balls but OH has looked at them in Tescos and is almost tempted . . . )

[hotrod4]

Dryer balls are a must in our house. The wife said as much the other day. She does say though that with age they seem to become smaller and have a different shape to newer ones, but I wouldnt know as I am a man and dont know how to work the wifes appliances![lol]
