Has anyone else tried these? I stopped using fabric softener a long time ago. I can't use it on the cloth diapers and it coats your clothes and towels making them less absorbant. Instead of fabric softener I throw in a 1/2 cup of vinegar which has worked wonders and saves lots of $$$. The vinegar gets rid of the smells in the cloth diapers like nothing else will! Put the vinegar in a downy ball and it will release it at the right time. Plus you can put in lavendar or teatree oils or whatever you prefer for a nice smell. I have even heard of people putting a drop of their favorite oil on a washcloth and throwing it in the drier for a nice smell as well. I would try just one drop first, you don't want to over power the clothes!!
The other day while walking around the local dollar store I saw a new product they carried...Dryer Balls! I had seen them on tv and at Fred Meyers but was never willing to pay the price for them. However, I was willing to try them for $1. I am so glad I did!! My towels are so light and fluffy again and I'm not sure if this is true for everyone, but my clothes seem to dry faster as well! Double win! I have heard that tennis balls work just as well. So check out your local dollar store and see if you can find them. I usually find a lot of name brand items there at a significant discount!
