ellenator..
i have the steamer balls and love them for freshening clothes that are spot free so i can wear them again… and for “softening” line dried clothes.
pennidog…
i also have the bouncy dryer balls and they do take the stiffness out of clothing but do nothing for static cling:(
sarah scoot…
in the summertime i wear only cottons and linens.. and am sorry to report that static cling is still a problem for me with those fabrics…
white vinegar doesn’t reduce it enough to keep my skirts from clinging in an obscene and quite unattractive manner for a woman my age:(
i suspect i don’t over dry my cottons and linens since they don’t reach the dryer at all until they have hung nearly dry … and then only long enough to release some of the wrinkles so i don’t have to iron. i combine the steam balls with a dryer sheet to produce ready to wear cottons and linens.
herongrrl…
as you age you re-experience some of the laundry issues of your childrearing years :( yes, i know. TMI.. but there you go.
I chose white towels and … so i can make sure they are clean when they leave the laundry…
a lesson learned from my mother…
****
LOL.. from some of these comments..
you would think i was committing green sacrilege
or had somehow gotten less proficient with laundry with practice…
Mine was the generation that moved away from commercial products and explored green alternatives…
believe it or not.. most of us still do our best to make the best compromise possible.. one that harms our planet the least while still producing clean “ready to wear” clothing.
i will not iron to prevent static cling.
I can’t remember the last time i dropped a single piece of clothing at the dry cleaners.. though that may change with the new technology…
i still have to learn more about that:)
really … i just want a green… scent and allergen free… laundry detergent and dryer sheet that works.
unfortunately, i will be giving away the biokleen products i bought to someone who can use them since i can’t:(
still looking for viable suggestions…
