TIL about dryer balls. O.o
Never knew I needed it, but I do now!

@Pat They'd be called clothesline balls then, so probably not!

@trinsec

I remember a company that advertised their dryer sheets as making clothes smell and feel "clothesline fresh". So if that's why people use those, I guess it would be redundant for a clothesline.

@Pat I don't use dryer sheets. But those dryer balls are making that the clothes are not clumped together in the dryer, creates more space between clothes, and thus dry clothes quicker and possibly even save a bit on power in dryers which has sensors for humidity and stop when it's dry enough.

I'm interested in that. Plus you could optionally add a nice smelling ointment of some kind in those (generally woolen) balls so it spreads through the clothes too.

@trinsec

Okay. Iget it. That's a good idea.

I find it easier to just hang the clothes on a clothes line. You can hang them right on the same hangers you use to hang them in the closet, so it saves time.

@Pat Clothes I do hang. But towels and bedsheets I'd prefer to be dried in a dryer. Breaks the fabric up nicely and makes them soft. A good alternative to using fabric softeners. ;)

@trinsec

Yes, towels can get kind of scratchy when hung-dried, unless there is some wind blowing to loosen them up.

Yes, bedsheets are not fun to sleep on when they are full of pollen!
