Okay, I'm looking to stop using any kind of chemicals I can ... but I also wonder if it is bad to have plastic balls in your dryer getting HOT and possibly giving off chemicals that you're trying to avoid by using them.
Does anybody know?
Does anybody use them? If so, do you like them?
Thousands want to know!

I personally do not use these but
I do have a friend who swears by them. She buys them all the time and says they work wonderfully...I am not up for changing to them just yet..
I have used them and they worked somewhat but seemed to create static electricity in my clothing.
I've used them for at least the last 2 years. LOVE 'EM!! To cut down on the static electricity, I cut up my Bounce dryer sheets in half & stick one in the dryer. Really, I don't see more static electricity than before but I DO see fluffier towels & sheets and -- in general -- all my clothes!
To cut down on chemicals in my laundry, outside of Tide Free, I only put plain white vinegar in my wash water. That helps cut down on odor in the clothes, helps whiten the whites & brightens the colors, and also helps cut down on bacteria. Hey, it even helps a bit with static electricity in the dryer! And a huge jug of white vinegar only costs about $4.00 at Costco and lasts a LOT of loads, so I figure I win either way. (And since it's a naturally occurring product, it doesn't harm the environment.) Yay!
I used to use them, and they really did nothing. However, I heard that they can shorten the life of your clothes. So, recently I have been using Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Geranium Dryer Sheets, which contain a vegetable-derived softening agent and natural essential oils on a new biodegradable paper sheet. They are fantastic and natural!!!
