Tennis Balls in the Dryer!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I am not sure if this discussion qualifies as being scientific, but since I had this talk one time with F, I thought this would be a good place to discuss this topic.  One time on DK when someone talked about using dryer sheets and having problems with their dog getting a hold of them, I commented that I had heard you could use tennis balls in the dryer as a dryer sheet substitute.  Well, of course, F asked me immediately how that worked and I had to explain that I had no idea and had heard the idea on the Bonnie Hunt Show and since I loved her and her show I was sure it was the God's honest truth. This wasn't good enough for F and I tried to Google it to see how it worked, but couldn't come up with much.

Well, more data is in to support my theory.  I just purchased a down coat from Land's End and on the label for the washing instructions, it clearly states, "Do not use Fabric Softener.  Tumble dry low with a clean tennis ball."  If Land's End AND Bonnie Hunt are not good enough for F, I am not sure what else I can do, but I would be interested in knowing if anyone knows how a tennis ball works in the dryer?

Does anybody know how this works??

I use tennis balls in the dryer with down clothing and a few other things to increase loft but haven't used them for anti-static purposes. I think ACV works better for that...;)

And it gives everything such a wonderful aroma besides! LOL

I love the smell of ACV in the morning.

Very famous scene & line from Apocalypse Now. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning".

Is this the ACV man??

Yes, poor Robert Duvall has had trouble finding good roles lately so he has become the new Apple Cider Vinegar Cures Everything spokesmodel.
