Do these help when drying a down item, such as a vest or jacket or comforter, so that the down doesn't clump? (Instead of tennis balls or sneakers)

Unfortunately, I have not used them for that sole purpose. My guess is they would be helpful. Sorry that I could not be more helpful.

I put mine in the dryer. Drying on a lower heat is best. (Keeps them a bit more fluffy.)

I use mine for drip-drying my clothes. I hang them from end-to-end and haven't had any problems. However, I'm not hanging heavy jeans or other heavy items. Mostly tops, capris, and dress pants. Hope this helps!

Leslie, I have had mine for about a year and I didn't notice these helping with your issue. I will say I wasn't impressed with this product for cutting down my drying time either, but maybe a slight improvement for less wrinkles. If you try these, I hope you have better luck with them than I have had.

Yes, but probably best not to dry them by machine. bad for most clothes anyways

I have accidentally used dryer sheets with the cloths a few times, and they seemed fine. I think they perform best when air dried though.

Hello. I actually use 6-8 balls, since I stuff my loads pretty full. Thanks for your question! In general, clothes will dry faster and more evenly, the more balls you use.

These are flats, so there is no fluffing required. It's basically a large single layer cloth about as thick as a paper towel. If you want the kind with the extra fluff in the middle look up "prefolds". And to avoid shrinking, air drying is fine, but because prefolds have extra layers it'll take a lot longer.

I like these hangers because the ends slope downward, so they don't leave 'points' on the shoulders of your shirt, as it dries. I use them for more delicate things, too. I would say give them a go, if they don't work for your shirts, they are still quite nice for other garments. I thought I'd try them, and glad I did, they fold up and pack in a suitcase quite nicely, too. Hope this helps.

I think if they become dirty you might be able to wash them, but I do not think their intended purpose is to provide fabric softening in a washer. They are balls of wool that bounce around in the dryer to keep the clothes separated. I'm not sure how useful they would be in a washer.

you can air dry them butthat is not practical when you need them. So i put them on the fluff cycle of my dryer, very low heat and they ere redy in about 20 minutes most of the time. maybe 4 at a time in there. I cannot say enough about how valuable these are for every day use. My litter is off to their new homes, I kept one, 3 months old now. I use one as a safety net in his crate over the little carpet in there but thankfully no accidents. But i have a senior (15 years) and at night he might have an accident. works great for him too.

Hanging them outside to dry is the best way. A mechanical wringer would get them dry enough for an automatic dryer, but good ones are not cheap or readily available. While hand-wringing sort of works on woven fabrics, it's not a good idea for knits because they get stretched out of shape. Debbie is right about the dripping, and it's hard to wring heavy fabrics like denim jeans. Knit sweaters and tops can be squeezed to get much of the water out, and if you wrap a clean dry towel around them you can squeeze out even more, then hang the towel to dry with the rest of the laundry.

Yes. I run them in the delicate cycle. I love these towels. They're super light weight and although they feel really wet after drying yourself off, they dry out really fast when you hang them.

They are just a tiny bit bigger than a tennis ball but more padded. They make a dull thumping sound in the dryer, not really loud though. I really doubt they could hurt the dryer as they are bouncing around in the clothes. I have been using mine for awhile a they work pretty well but still allow some static cling in the clothes, particularly if you have synthetic and wool in the same load.

I don't dry anything. I think dryers ruin everything; but I also live in an apartment & share a laundry room. Machine wash on permanent press. And then I hung comforter to dry. Fluffed up and does the job. I am using it as an insert for my duvet.

Yes they will but do you really want to wash and dry a down quilt? I didn't think down was washable. Please check the manufacturer's label on the quilt for cleaning instructions.

I would suggest using the Revivex Durable Waterproofing Spray On instead of the soak in waterproofing with the down and pre-clean with the Revivex Down Cleaner. Gear Aid's website suggest this also. For waterproofing any down garment or gear you want to first clean it with a down wash. Nikwax also sells a down was and waterproof as well. The pray on will work better as it will coat the outer fabric and still allow for the down to maintain it's loft and warmth value. I've used the spray on version with good results on my backpacking and fishing gear. Water beads up very nicely still. The soak version is just downright convenient and coats everything. Still my go to waterproofing solution.
