Do these balls soften and keep static cling away from laundry in clothes dryer?

You could use them for that, but make sure you don't use them for actual tennis or anything else before or after, and your dryer will be very loud when you add them. From my understanding, they don't do anything for static cling, but rather 'fluff' your towels and bed spreads so they don't bunch up.

I put them in the washer with towels on a sanitary (extra hot and long) cycle. In the dryer, no fabric softener.

The sheets are neither too thick or too thin. I haven't noticed that they wrinkle. I haven't noticed any static electricity, but my wife does wash them with an anti-static sheet. I can't answer your other question.

I would think so. They are cotton Muslin and I don't see how the dryer would affect them.

No - they are mostly dry when they are removed from the washer - there is no need for it

It doesn't have a softener in it. But they aren't stiff or scratchy. I just use dryer balls in the dryer and my clothes seem fine. I do use another type of detergent on item that I like to have be soft and have a lite sent....like blankets and sheets....Grab Green laundry detergent pods. But I use this for everything else. Cleans great.

I only use dryer sheets, but I have cleaned the socks in my washer with detergent numerous times without any problems.

Well......the woolzies are only for the dryer! They are to help the clothes dry faster and they reduce static. That's why they're called dryer balls; hope this helps!

Our dryer is pretty loud (a commercial unit in our building), and I can't hear them at all. I will say I've tried the plastic balls in the past, and they made a lot of noise.

They are great and I highly recommend them. My laundry has become fluffy and fresh. I have not experienced static. It is Eco friendly and clothes will have a longer life because there are no chemicals involved.

I'm all natural, so never use fabric softener. There sometimes seems to be a little static, depending on what is in the dryer, but the close, especially towels come out nice.

I put them in the dryer at the same time as my wet clothes. They will do their work just like dryer sheets. I TAKE them out with my dried clothes.

I have been using these back to back since late July, with several washes in between and that has never happen to me. I wash them with a hot cycle meant for heavy cotton and then rinse a second time. I have never used a dryer on them, that could be why yours are balling up. I just hang dry for a few hours.

they work quite well for all static - and are great overall. I have had these for about six months and will never use any others. I have used lots of different kinds, and these are the best by far. I used tennis balls for years, and then the hard rubber spikey dryer balls. I like these better coz they are soft/not hard like rubber and won't crack and wear out like they did either.

Several reasons... 1) Quieter than the plastic dryer balls. 2) More environmentally friendly. 3) Able to better reduce static buildup. 4) You can use six balls (or more) at one time.

To be honest I have never tried that. The function of the dryer balls is to reduce static in the drying process. It makes sense to me that adding another set might increase the efficiency.

Hi Lisa, I've read that these dryer balls last forever! I've had mine for about a year now and I use them in my dryer almost daily. Doesn't look like they've worn out a bit.I'd highly recommend these great alternatives to chemical fabric softeners.
