I quit using fabric softener decades ago. It’s bad for your clothes and the environment.

I use wool dryer balls. They reduce static, and dry your clothes faster.

They do somehow magically disappear so plan on buying a 3-4 pack each year.

We don’t like extra scents in our clothing.

I also tried using the little plastic spikey balls.

Honestly they make a ton of noise in the dryer so I went back to wool balls.

I see them at TJ Maxx and Marshall’s for about $7-10 for 3-4 packs.

Used for years. No issues. I HATE heavy scents so using a non scented detergents and dryer balls leaves the clothes clean and they don’t smell of chemicals

[Melissa]

I put vinegar in the wash cycle and use wool balls in the dryer. It is rare something comes out staticy

[Nanette]

Loved the wool ones until my dogs discovered them. If one fell on the floor, bye bye.

On a serious note, they work great.

I had white for light clothes and black for dark loads(no lint).

[Toccara]

I love them. Add a few drops of essential oil like orange or lemon. It’s great

[Anne]

I have used for several years, they do a great job. So much better for your clothes and the environment, budget also

[Mary]

Have used them for a couple years now, and will never go back to sheets.

[Cynthia]

Washer balls plus 1/4 c borax in the washer then 3 wool dryer balls in the dryer. Works very well for us.

I’m sensitive to scents and this is frugal too.

My dryer balls have been used for about 7 years now with no deterioration.

[Lynne]

Stop using fabric softener period. Dryer balls are a waste. Just use plain ole vinegar.

Your clothing and your washer will thank you

I have 5 dryer balls in my dryer. They work well. No softener used at all for probably 5 years now.

I did it a few years ago – – I like the dryer balls, makes the clothes dry faster but they like to hide in dry loads (lol).

but love the no smells, no chemicals etc. I use them (4 at a time) for a couple years then get a new set – although they say you can wet and recharge them. – after a couple years they become cat toys – it keeps the clothes from sticking together and you get no static cling

[Diann]

I love my wool dryer balls. Once in awhile in winter I will use a tiny amount of fabric softener if my sweaters have static.

[Connie]

I’ve been using dryer balls for years. They soften the clothes, prevent static cling, don’t add scent to the clothes and very cost effective.

I bought mine at dollar tree

[Mary]

By using wool balls, I no longer get the oily stains on my clothes from softener sheets.

They also really help get rid of pet hair too.

I also use white wool for lights and black wool for darks.

[Molly]

I use white vinegar in the washing machine and 2 wool dryer balls + 2 tennis balls in the dryer.

I haven’t used fabric softener in decades.

I never have issues with static and my colors and fabrics last longer.

Things like towels shouldn’t use fabric softener.

[CC]

I switched over to wool dryer balls about two years ago. I found some that were made in the USA.

I really like them.

I bought a 4 pack—you use them all at once…. I would suggest getting a 6 pack.

I find they work really well, and they are suppose to last up to five years (depending on how much you use them).
