Dryer Balls

A couple of weeks ago I decided to treat myself to a couple of Dryer Balls. I've seen them many times before and have read about them, but always wondered whether or not they would work. I was in my local Poundland and I saw them for...would you believe!....£1, well as I like a bargain, I couldn't resist. ==A Bit About Dryer Balls== Dryer balls are made from PVC plastic, which is able to withstand extremely hot temperatures and will not melt. You get 2 balls in the packet. They are approximately 3" in diameter and are covered in little nodules. You simply put the balls into the dryer with the clothes and start the drying cycle.

I am currently sitting listening to a pair of these dryer balls in my tumble dryer which has prompted me to write this review. The claim is these hard balls with spikey nodules on them separate the clothes in the dryer, reduce static and drying time, soften the clothes and take away the need for fabric softener. I bought mine from a pound shop for £1 so that was amazingly cheap, I've seen them advertised for £9.99 a pair which is outrageous. I opened the packet of the dryer balls and immediately thought I'd made a mistake. They smell awful when you first open them and this can take a while to go. I washed mine, left them out to let ...  Read the complete review

Our tumble dryer gets used a good deal all year round as hubby hates laundry to be hung outdoors for everyone to see & although we have a utility room there isn't really enough space to dry towels & sheets etc. I was flicking TV channels one day when I came accross a presentaion for wash balls which look similar to those in the picture but cost a heck of a lot more. I like the concept though so went on a search for simialr but cheaper ones to try. I found some in our local Poundland which looked identical so, for a quid, thought I'd give them a try as they claim to reduce drying time, make clothes etc feel soft & replace dryer ...  Read the complete review

*****Introduction***** I have always used a separate fabric softener and tumble dryer sheets when I have done my washing, but with the credit crunch I have been looking for little ways to save money without me suffering to much. So now I use a washing liquid instead of a powder as this saved me a few pounds every month, I have now stopped using tumble dryer sheets and softener but after tumble drying a few items I started to miss the freshness of the laundry that had just been dried. Will looking around a pound land in the town I found these tumble dryer balls for a pound so I picked them up to see if they would help the ...  Read the complete review

My sister bought me a set of these dryer balls, she found them in our local pound shop and treated both myself and my mum to a set. The pack contained 2 blue balls with lots of spiky nodules that are to help not only reduce the drying time of your clothes but also help make your clothes feel softer. Does it work well the answer would be yes and no. Why? Well I have the misfortune to have not only 2 children and a husband that comes home every day covered in dirt through his job, I also do a lot of hill walking which means cleaning and drying mud riddled dogs so my washing loads are pretty full on. So my drier is usually filled ...  Read the complete review
