i thought tumble dryer sheets were just to make the clothes smell better ... that's why i'v never bothered, clothes always smell nice without them ...

tumble dryer ball thingy????

read the first bit of the review, theres also a section way down the page about static

ahh so balls + bounce sheets = bouncy balls = no static ...

[Bibio]

si if i put a 'bounce sheet' and the ball thingys in my tumble dryer together i should get no static?

[dizzyblonde]

I would think so...I'm sure I've seen some of these balls in Asda too..worth a try. I've never had static in my tumble dryer

[Bibio]

due to the suggestions above i'm pleased to say

my manliness has been restored .. no more doing the static dance.... much to the disappointment of my kids...

thank you dizzy and lissa... a drink i owe you when i meet you...

See, I save money by just hitting the socks that are trying to fornicate with each other with a large hammer upon exit from the dryer. After a few hefty whacks they just let go of each other and stay on the floor like good little socks should...


... though it is fun to occasionally let my pup try to steal one directly from the dryer and get sent scurrying off, tail between his legs, after getting a zap of static to his nose. :twisted:
