Housekeeping Tip #8: Eco-friendly Drying

Last week I bought these "Dryer Balls" for about $10. They are supposed to save energy, and help the environment by not using dryer sheets or fabric softners.

They worked great! But they made a lot of rattling noises the first 10 mins, since the laundry is still pretty wet.

Honestly, I liked the design so I dished out the $10. But you can use just plain old tennis balls. Preferably clean, new ones. =)

I use tennis balls to fluff up my pillows, blankets, and down jackets after I have washed them. Works like a charm. But now I have these special designed $10 "dryer balls." haha.

Yes, the design snob comes through. =)
