I've never done this & don't know that I'll ever do it again but I agreed to post a review of a product on my page in exchange for the chance to try out the product for no charge. So here goes...my experience is not being paid for & the opinions here are all mine!
I tried out Woolzies XL Dryer Balls. You may or may not have ever heard of "dryer balls" so let me tell you that these particular type are made out of 100% Pure New Zealand Wool and yet because they do not shed, they are safe for use by people with wool sensitivities. The purpose of them is two-fold, they naturally soften you laundry & shorten the time it takes for your laundry to get dry. I like them because of the shortened drying time for large loads and because not buying laundry softener saves money--and I'm all about a frugal tactic! Woolzies have proven to me that drying time is cut down by using them! We share a washer & dryer with another family so it's important that we get our laundry in & out quickly and these help that happen so that we all have clean clothes when we need them!
Another benefit is the fact that these soften your clothes without the chemicals used in liquid and sheet form, and I'm okay with keeping a few chemicals off my skin & especially my son's skin when we are so bombarded with chemicals in everything these days.
Let me share a few facts about Woolzies from their website:
*Hypoallergenic--chemical free & even safe for people with wool sensitivies.
*Woolzies bounce around in your dryer naturally separating and creating space between your laundry, thereby allowing the hot dryer air to circulate better and subsequently cutting down on drying time by about 25% in large loads and as much as 35-40% in small loads.
*Saves time and money for you and energy for the environment.
*GUARANTEED to last for 1,000 loads! (Which means if you do one load EVERY day they will last you nearly 3 years! I see dollar signs in the savings department on store-bought softener!)
The package I was sent came with 6 dryer balls and they have worked well for us! Woolzies recommends 8 for very large loads but so far I've been pleased with how well they work and for how they've held up as I've been using them for most of the summer already. The real test will come this winter when less of our clothes will be put on the clothesline to dry outside...but for now Woolzies sure do have a two thumbs up from me!
Woolzies can be purchased on their website for $34.95 per 6 pack--shipping is free to anywhere in the US including Hawaii and Alaska. But you may be able to get some for FREE....
