Anybody used those tumble dryer balls?

[MilaMae]

I got some cheap from the market and noticed everything smells plasticy so much so will have to re-wash the kids stuff.

Do the expensive ones do this too and does it wear off eventually?

Thanks

mine were nearly £20 i think and they didnt make anything smell.

£8 or so .. don't smell at all .. I'd get rid of the cheapo ones .. fumes from plastic not good

i have the JML ones which i bought after a recommendation on here

they are very good IME

(cost around £8.99 from woolies)

I have the JML ones and haven't really seen a difference in drying times/softening effect tbh

Thanks for that,will get rid.

My cheap market ones don't smell and are great.

I got the Poundland ones and they did stink when new. I shoved a baby wipe in with some essential oils and they are fine now.

i brought some from poundland aswell and at first they made the clothes smell a bit plasticy but after a few times they don`t smell at all

I have the poundshop ones too. Have no problem with smells here

What do they do?

They are supposed to make your clothes softer. They sort of fluff up the fibres by the 'beating' action!

I have the Lakeland ones and I honestly can't see any difference in drying times or fluffiness. Didn't notice a smell though.

So, surely they must wear the clothes out quicker?

I have got some from Poundland but do they actually do anything? Anyone notice?
