Title: Drying balls
Post by: Sunshine on March 28, 2005, 11:02:06 pm: Hi All

Hope that you have all enjoyed the loooooong weekend.

Mrs Sunshine has just come back from the Ideal Home ex @ Earls Court.

Whilst she was there she picked me up 2 drying balls (£10) they are made from plastic and about the size of a tennis ball. The score is, that you put them in the dumble dryer and they make your clothes dry faster.

Any heard of them of them or used them????

Let me know. If not I will let you know if they are any good or if they melt all over my scrims!!!

Regards

Sunshine

I have yet to use these but it will be interesting to see if they do speed up my drying time.

I will let you know.

Right :o

Just added this after looking at the website.

We live in a strange world. What I'm puzzled about it the person who had the original idea?

Did they just sit down one day and think about how to dry clothes faster?

I don't mean to sound sexist, but isn't that 'woman's work'?

The lady was refering to your drying balls.

Are you stating and also being politically incorrect by doing so that 'drying balls' is womans work?

Do the balls contain fabric softener too? How much time and energy do the balls save?

Drying balls sounds like an adult term to me( :o) Just kidding :o

Post by: Sunshine on April 03, 2005, 05:09:59 pm: ...... ok these are just plastic ball that have holes on them and small nodules of them (a bit like a dogs toy).

The instructions just say that you put them in the tumble dryer and they work......I still dont have enough dirty scrims yet.....but I will let you know.
