Dryer Balls - Do they work?

Talk about the stuff you love, hate, or wish you had.

In my opinion, not at all. I'm sorry. They do nothing for the fragrance of the clothing and I still think the clothes are staticy when they come out. You know what I'm talking about: http://www.amazon

You know what I'm talking about:

Does anyone know of a brand that actually do work? I'm not a believer.

I'm a downy sheet man, myself. I just like the way they smell. I'd figure something like a dryer sheet would be pretty biodegradable-and don't they chemicals get leached out in the dryer?

I wonder if they could make one of those balls you could put a sachet of something that smells good in? Of course if they don't work I guess it's moot.

My mom bought these and swore by them. She actually sent me a pair and I tried them out but I found them pretty ineffective. Also they don't add that "just-washed-and-dried" scent that fabric softener sheets do.

Where I'm not a big fan of the chemicals in traditional sheets I switched to the Seventh Generation fabric sheets, which can be composted! They're a tad more expensive but they get the job done, have a subtle lavender and eucalyptus smell and whoa--I just caught myself talking WAY to much about laundry products.

I'll stop now.

I feel like there is some sort of hidden joke in the title of this thread. But I guess that's just me...

Andrew,
your mind is not in the gutter is it?
Who's Ron Burgundy? I Don't get that reference, can you fill me in, please?

As for the dryer and your clothing, I don't spend my money on the dryer cloths, or on the dryer balls and the filler, but, instead I just buy the concentrated water softener, and I put a few drops onto a washcloth, roll it up, and throw it into the dryer with my clothes. They come out soft and nicely fragranced, at less cost. And, I am not contaminating the environment with the dryer sheets, either.

Ron Burgundy an anchorman (1975) of the KVWN-TV Channel 4 Evening News in San Diego. Reporting on the most enthralling and titilating of stories. Like Ling-Wong the Panda giving birth or Cat Fashion Shows. He also is known for his slogan for closing out segments "You stay classy, San Diego!"

He's also a man's man with many leatherbound books, an apartment that smells of rich mahogany and an expert player of the Jazz Flute.

I bet Ron Burgundy uses dryer balls.

But seriously, I have them and don't have a static problem. Saves costs on dryer sheets. Yeah you may not get the dryer sheet smell, but that's what the detergent does in the washer, right?

I could never give up dryer sheets. Clothes need to smell nice, not like warm rubber.

Aren't there dryer balls that you fill up with a fabric softener or something like that? Does that sort of defeat the purpose?

Like most innovations, it depends on the brand. Some of these actually work (with the static issue) and some are pretty bad. I have no idea what makes the difference, though.

I stick with sheets.

Looks like sheets are maintaining a pretty heavy lead. Does anyone know if dryer sheets are harmful to the environment in the first place?

There are "green" dryer sheet options that are not harmful to the environment. Actually I don't know if it's the environment that suffers. I think it's more about putting chemicals into and onto your clothes that is bad for you.

I've never completely understood how some plastic-y balls can replace dryer sheets? What do they do, exactly? Just keep the clothes separate? How do they soften them?

They are supposed to keep them soft, fluffly and static free. And smelling like rubber.

Clothes should be soft and smelling good. The balls do neither. Show me a pair that can get my clothes the way they should be after a wash and dry and I'll try them out, but until then it's sheets all the way

Is it wrong that so many men are discussing dryer balls and smells? I feel the need to grunt and scratch now. I'll stick my two cents in and say sheets though. I stay away from girly scents though.

I have used the dryer bars, not the balls. The bars seem to work ok. I can't handle scents on my clothes though, due to allergies. I either go with unscented dryer sheets or the bars.
