Then my mom told me a trick she had been using and liked. Tennis balls. She throws 2 tennis balls into the dryer with her clothes and that's it. She loves it. So, while I was at Tar-jay this weekend, I grabbed a container of tennis balls for $2. Then I went home and did the laundry. I put all three balls in the dryer with a load of clothes. I'm not sure, but I think it helped them dry faster. And the towels were definitley fluffy. I think I will keep this trick. the balls make a lot of noise bouncing around in the dryer, so if your dryer is close to where you sleep or watch TV, know that you'll hear them. I can use the tennis balls for a while, so I guess that's money in our pocket too. But I don't think I'm ready to give up my DIY fabric softener just yet...
Cheers!
That's my down comforter in there. Should be nice and fluffy when it comes out! |
