Use Dryer Balls

As I was walking through the aisles of my favorite dollar store, I discovered a product that claims to save you money when doing laundry: dryer balls. Each package contains 2 plastic balls with bristles all around them. The package says that to maximize the effect you should use 4-6 balls so I bought 2 packages. The name brand I bought is Dryer Mate but there are other companies that make them as well. They claim to reduce drying time by 25% so I decided to try them. So far I am impressed. I no longer need to buy fabric softener sheets because they soften fabrics naturally and get rid of static. They decrease the amount of drying time by lifting and separating the clothes. They are safe to use for all fabric types and are said to last for years. So, for a few dollars you can save money on energy and fabric softener sheets, and if you have allergies, you won’t have to worry about having an allergic reaction to your fabric softener! It is always nice to find an inexpensive, chemical-free, environmentally friendly product. If you can’t find them at local stores, they are also available online at both Ebay and Amazon.
