Wool dryer balls shrink drying time

Awesome! I cannot wait to try these out. I have too much laundry

Great idea! Keep them coming!

I love wool dryer balls! They work great and dont leave that nasty residue on your clothing like fabric sheets. I’ve also found myself not sneezing as much while folding laundry. I use them together with my Eco Nuts! You can purchase both at http://eco-friendlycleaning.webplus.net/Eco-Friendly Living Manitoba -Shop.html. Low shipping costs!

Have been using wool dryer balls since Christmas and have not noticed any difference in drying time and static is definitely present. I will be trying aluminum foil next.

I bought 6 of these from tinytreehuggerdiapers.com on recommendation of my friend. Wool dryer balls are far and away the best improvement to my household chores ever. I have perfume allergies — so no more stinky commercial fabric softeners (and $ savings in the long run). No more piles of ironing — almost everything, regardless of fabric type, comes out wrinkle-free (except a few dress shirts). The companies who manufacture fabric softener should be glad this remains largely a secret among the enviro-friendly crowd. They’d be out of business in a month if people knew more about it. Unintended benefit: the soft bumpbumpbump of a drum concert when the dryer is bashing the balls around — I find it amusing… plus you know when the load is done!

Have an old sweater at home that's shrunk… get out the sizzers and start making strips… wind the strips tight… decorate with colored wool roving (available at any yarn shop) (did you wind them tight?) stick balls into pantyhose TIED TIGHTLY and throw them in the washer for a few loads.
Voila! Dryer balls!

Congrats Reanne — comment #132 — you've won the dryer balls!!! Please email me at tpaglaro@davidsuzuki.org to arrange details.

Hi! I've just uploaded my short video tutorial on how I made my wool dryer balls. You can check it out on my youtube channel, it's very easy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded

Hello! I've found this short tutorial on youtube. Here's the link http://youtu.be/ItkQVV4Y-34

Thank you so much for the tip about white wool. I was wondering why my balls were not felting, so I will try making some in another color.

If you are in the Victoria area we have natural wool dryer balls available at The Soap Exchange as well as Millstone farm and Organics. They work great!

Oh, I'm going to make some for Christmas presents! Fun! I need to do something with my leftover yarn. Winning some would be cool too.

Lindsay, you continue to inspire me! Thanks to you, I've been making my own laundry soap since January after reading your article. It is so easy to make, inexpensive and does a great job. Actually, I have a pot on the stove right now. I just finished hanging my laundry on the clothes line and I am so thankful for the beautiful sunshine in October. I love my crisp bath towels and I love falling asleep in my sheets that smell like the great outdoors. I like to delay using my dryer as much as possible but it might not be so painful by using wool dryer balls. I'm really excited to try making some. Thank you for the link to ULAT and to DIY directions. :)

Wool dryer balls are awesome. They are loads of fun for the cat too.

I've seen these at my local health market, but I was never told they would reduce drying time! I'm putting these on my Christmas Wish List!

These are a great idea! I would love to add them to my laundry routine to continue to green my routine!

What a terrific idea!

I love this idea! Anything to save energy!

What a great idea! I am excited to try the dryer balls, and give them away as Christmas presents! Way to go!

Sounds like a great way to use less resources and save money too. Would be great in conjunction with use of drying rack for more artificial fabrics.

We have been using plastic blue balls but they probably contain all sorts of nasty chemicals (got them from the dollar store… most likely made in China) and I'd love to try these natural wool ones!

I really enjoy reading about all of your great tips that work for busy families and reduce our impact on the Earth! Keep it up.

Was about to shop for dryer sheets online and came across this article. Changed my thinking and will never buy sheets again. As a knitter, thanks for the great idea of reusing leftover wool. Go green!!

Would love to try these. The blue ones you can buy in the stores give me a horrible rash.

I am lucky to know Jennifer and Koichi (owners/creators of Ulat) for many years and I received mine from them last year as a wonderful Christmas gift. I use my dryer balls all the time (today even!) and highly recommend them!

Very good to know- was there ways

I have heard of and even used tennis balls to reduce wrinkles but this add the absorptive value of the wool. Good idea.

I LOVE these. I think it would actually make a thoughtful gift for families. I need to study that link on how to make your own…

awesome idea! I've used felted sweaters for other projects and can't wait to try this…

Would love some of these!

We green our drying routine by drying on a line when we can.

I am always open to looking at more natural ways of doing things. I want to try the wool dryer balls out and wonder if someone is allergic to wool could it irritate their skin having the wool come in contact with the items you're drying…

I have been making and selling dryer balls for 2 years now. The fabric softeners that add silicone in the air and in your bedding to sleep in all night are only surpassed in evil as those blue hard balls that is toxic enough to kill a caged bird. I sell 2 dryer balls for $10 and 3 for $15. I charge only actual postage. With proper care, they should last 10 or 15 years, and then are compostable. http://pattyannelea.wordpress.com/?s=dryer balls palea@telus.net

I am definitely interested in cutting my drying time. I do dry on a rack, but with a family of 4 it's just too hard to keep up. This is a great idea and I may even make my own.

These sound wonderful! Can't wait to try them out!!

What a fabulous idea! I have been recycling wool for years for craft endeavors, but I love that this wool product serves such a useful purpose. I will definitely order a set, but will also try to make some myself. Thanks very much for the tip :)

I've also seen people make their own dryer balls out of an old wool sweater (which is I guess how Jennifer started).

Amazing energy savings! Trying to figure out how that works. Will have to try the dryer balls, in any case. Thanks for the tip!

I have never heard of these but I would love to give them a try! I mostly dry outside on nice days but do use my dryer more in the winter.

I'd like to try them in my dryer. I think my cat might like to try them outside the dryer. :-)

This is such a simple idea, why didn't I think of that? I would very much like to try wool dryer balls. I would very much like to WIN wool dryer balls, hint hint.

wool dryer balls would be great for our cloth diaper stash!

Would love to try these out as I have used the plastic ones but I am never a fan of anything plastic. Especially love that they are made locally and are 100% Canadian!

We used to hang all our clothes to dry in our tiny apartment — but that was mostly because we were too broke to afford the coin dryers in the building! :P Now we mostly use the dryer, but these would definitely help cut energy costs, not to mention eliminate the need for those chemical-laden dryer sheets my husband loves so much!

I love this idea. So simple.

These sound wonderful. I also like that you can add natural scent using them with essential oils.

These sound wonderful. I also like the option of being able to add scent with essential oils.

Great idea!! I want to try making my own from the link you posted. Thanks!!

I want those balls!!!

I am going to make these for Christmas gifts!

Ooh, definitely need to get some! I hang most of my clothes, but my kids' clothes and towels all go in the dryer, so these would be perfect.

Have been considering this style of dryer ball for some time. The thought of heating synthetic ball products to have them offgas into my clothes has kept me from trying the plastic and rubber ones I have seen around.

With two kids in cloth diapers, I have a hard time getting them on the clothesline every day! For the odd time I put them in the dryer, these wool dryer balls would be fantastic! Checking out the site now — thanks!

This is a great idea!! Thanks for sharing this! I also love my drying racks too!

I usually use my clothes rack but once in while I do use the dryer, especially for a load made of small and thin items. This is an awesome trick! Up to 50% less time! Wow! I will have to buy some! Thanks for the info.

great article…I am going to make some of these

great article…I have three kids under five and am amazed at the mountains of laundry…I am going to make some of these and if they work out, make them for my family and friends for christmas.

I just ordered Soap Nuts to try as a natural alternative to laundry detergent. I would love to try these dryer balls as well!

I've greened my routine by doing my baby's cloth diapers outside. The sun bleaches out any yucky stains. In order to stop them from getting hard and crispy, I rub them each for a bit and they soften up pretty quickly. I'd love to try out the woolen balls in the dryer on cold winter days.

Genius, wool is such a fantastic fiber. Thanks!

I've wanted to try these for a while now. Do they need to be dried out after each load? That is, do they absorb water as the load is dried?

I am definitely going to make these for myself and as Christmas gifts. A tip for others interested in making them: white wool does not felt well or sometimes at all due to the bleaching process. I learned this the hard way trying to make felted pillows from old wool sweaters, I put the white wool through 5 full hot cycles in my washer and it didn't even begin to felt. All it did was waste a lot of hot water and power. Also if you're going to wash clothes while felting the balls, jeans work best and will speed the felting process.

Genius, i am going to try and make my own!

this is brilliant and I want to win the dryer balls! (and typing 'salmon' should always be required!)

What a fantastic idea! Thanks for posting about these

Fantastic idea, green. And turned into a business for profit. Brilliant.

I love wool dryer balls!

I SO want some of these now! :)

I've also used the silicon dryer balls for years…no weird chemical smells on my clothes! Mine are getting old, so it could be a good time to try wool dryer balls! :-) I live in an apartment, so space and humidity issues prevent me from hanging everything to dry. I try to reduce how much I use the dryer whenever possible. I try to dry similar-weight items together. I use the sensor so the dryer doesn't run any longer than necessary, and if only a few items are damp near the end, I'll hang those up.

I live in the States, Washington to be specific. How can I get some of these? I would love for my dryer to be more efficient now that summer is over and I can't line dry my clothes.

Thanks for posting this — I had no idea there was a simple way to make my dryer more efficient. I will share this with friends!

We have used the hard plastic ribbed balls to help shorten our drying time. Also have used a dry towel put in with the wet clothes for the drying to help reduce time. And when possible we try and use the out doors and in house drying racks. Would love to get a set of those balls.

This is a great idea. I'll be sure to try whether I purchase some or make my own.

I'm in the process of making some…but would love to have some of the ULATs!

Brilliant advice! thanks :)

I hadn't heard of wool dryer balls before. I love that you can add fragrance with a couple drops of essential oil. I'll have to try these out for sure!

I love drying things outside in the summer months, and am sad those days are nearly done for this year. In the winter months we hang things in the laundry room on a closet system we installed, works great takes up less space than many drying racks. We do still however use the dryer for a couple items we'd love to try some dryer balls to cut time down and improve effiency!

I'll see how it goes to make myself some!

I would love to win some wool balls!!

This sounds like a great idea!

I've never heard of wool dryer balls until now, but great idea! They're also super cute!

I just got some dryer balls last weekend! LOVE THEM!! I have six in my dryer now. WARNING: dogs love them TOO!!!

This is a great way to reduce energy consumption in my home. Hook me up please!

brilliant and so nice of you to share!

Great idea!! I hang most of my clothes but my husband loves the dryer, this sounds like a fantastic idea to help cut down the drying time!

This is a sensible idea. I would certainly use them. I live in a household of 5 people and I know that my power bill conists of mostly my dryer costs in the winter. I usually line dry outside as much as possible in the summer and fall, but come winter, that old dryer takes a beating. This would be a nice option to cut down on my dryer time. Hope I win a set! If not, then I will be looking to purchase some and also use my wooden clothes rack more often.

Definitely a good idea for drying clothes during the winter months! I would love to try these!

We air dry what we can, and are sure to fluff anything going into the dryer to help it dry faster. We've also stopped using the dryer as an iron. :-P

It's true, it's very efficient and eco!

What an amazing idea and product, I always dry my laundry on a drying rack. The only problem is my condo doesn't have a balcony for me to put my cloths out side. So with big items to dry like sheets etc. I had to become creative and started hanging them from door in the condo. But I do sometimes wave the white flag in surrender and put them in the dryer, so i really can't wait to order my own set and start reducing my drying time by 30-50%!

Sounds like a great idea. I use plastic dryer balls, but love the idea of using something natural.

Why would these not work on acrylics or polyester blends — would there be pilling?

I guess I won't know until I win them and can try for myself! :)

Great posts — I love to hear about these new products.

what a great idea! I am always looking for ways to cut down on power and energy use.

This is super cool! I will for sure order these when your store is up! Unless I win some!! :)

I love my cast iron fry pan. Never sticks and I get a boost of to boot. I am also going to try the wool dryer balls coming all the way from Vancouver to me in London, Ontario.

Gr8 idea I already have dryer balls,but not totally natural materials….I would love to have some of these ones….I find my towels and sheets take a longer time to dry and find myself hanging them all over the house rather string a new dryer cycle…anyway to have a greener house 'I'm In'!!!!!

So glad you included instructions to make your own wool dryer balls! I will definitly be trying this with my leftover balls that were 'too good' to toss.

I would like to do what I can to "green" my laundry routine.

Whoot… Great x-mas presents for those who live in cramped downtown apartments and don't have the space to dryer rack it

Thanks for the information about dryer balls. I saw them at a farmers' market but didn't have time to stop and find out more abou them. We generally reserve the dryer to things that take a long time to dry, like bedding and towels. We'll get some dryer balls to expedite the drying process. Thanks again!

Dryers are hard on your clothes and the environment, but in the winter there is little other choice … we use drying racks and then put clothes through a 5 minute 'toss' in the dryer to soften them up. I'd love to try the woolen balls though! Thanks for the tip and for supporting an independent Canadian business :)

Cool! I'll have to give these a try.

I love the idea of all natural, eco-friendly, wool dryer balls and will definitely get some. I've used the other type (PVC free) for years and they are certainly better on every level than the chemical laden dryer sheets, but these sound even better.

Great idea. Our cloth diapers take so long to dry — we'll see if these help. Thanks.

I had never even heard of wool dryer balls until this post! I'm very interested. Perhaps I will attempt to make some of my own too! Thanks again for the inspiration. :-)

Yes! I just bought a pack of these wool dryer balls. I can even say that the laundry is so fresh now like never before. I was shopping at http://allurewool.com/

I love finding new ways to be more earth friendly around my home. I would love to try these!

The dryer balls sound great and I would like to try them. If you would like to continue drying your clothes on the line just put on a pair of those thin gloves you can pick up for a couple of dollars. They keep you hands warm enough on all but the coldest winter days and still allow for sufficient dexterity to use your clothes pegs.

What a fabulous idea! I ended up on your site after seeing one of your tweets RT by @earthberries in regards to soap nuts. I have been using soap nuts for years and love them, so now since winter is coming soon it is time to go a step further and invest in wool dryer balls.

Less wrinkles indeed! Love adding essential oils to them. Bonus: they look so cute :)

I've tried them and they work!

Wow, what a remarkable idea/product. Who invented this, anyhow? I would sure like to try some. Hate the sound of that dryer eating energy.

I learned from our Cowichan Community Caregivers newsletter that putting in a clean dry towel in with the wet clothes also works to shorten dryer time needed. These wool dryer balls sound great, too. My mom used to say on windy days "it's a good day for drying clothes" (softens them too). In a room, facing a floor or table fan and turning on it on the clothes on a rack speeds drying- like for my swim gear four times a week. And, when big items like sheets are nearly dry I drape them over non wood finish furniture for a few hours before folding them. Nothing beats the fresh air (ozone?) smell of clothes dried in the sun.

I'm from the UK, where dryers are much less common than in Canada and it's the norm to dry clothes on racks or lines, inside or outside. My friends and colleagues here think I'm crazy for using drying racks but I don't understand why people pay money and use energy to achieve something that will happen all by itself.

I always dry my laundry on a drying rack. Living in a small apartment, the drier produces too much heat so I've stopped using it all together. The problem I find is that my condo regulations prevent me from hanging laundry on my balcony.

These wool dryer balls would be handy gifts for everyone else I know who uses a drier!

I've been wanting to make my own green laundry detergent — but I can't find where to buy washing soda. Anyone have suggestions??

ULAT Dryer Balls, I truly LOVE them! My clothes are soft, there's not any static cling, and I notice less wrinkles. I will never go back to dryer sheets!

This is amazing! Who would have thought wool balls would have made a difference in drying time!? Ultimately I would like to start hanging my clothes to dry, but this helps too =)

What a great idea! I love the idea of making our dryer more energy efficient and I'm definitely going to try these. Thanks for making a great friendly product.

Such a great idea! Everyone involved benefits, I love it!

Cant wait to order my own set.

I didn't know wool dryer balls could have such a significant impact!

Laundry is such a time suck. I dry most of my stuff on racks but anything to reduce the dryer time I need to use even more is great :)

What a great tip! I'm going to try this for the fall and winter :)

Great idea. I'm less "green" than I should be when it comes to tumble drying so anything that makes my drying more efficient is worth testing.

I would love to try these dryer balls. I only use the dryer in the winter when I have no other choice as I am always trying to reduce my hydro cost. The fact that these natural dryer balls reduce drying time by 30 to 50% is amazing and would love to try them. Thanks for the info.

I'd like to get my hands on those.

My favorite household job- hanging laundry outside. My husband built a huge drying rack to suspend from the ceiling in our basement — no sheet is too big! But the wool balls would be a lovely gift for Christmas for those without the space for drying racks…

Thanks for sharing yet another great idea!

I never heard of dryer balls but am definitely going to check them out. We hang out laundry whenever we can — love ozone smelling sheets!

What an intriguing idea, can't wait to try it!

Cool! I've never heard of these before!! I'd love to win 'em!!

Thanks QOG :)

Yes, the plastic dryer balls make me mental and my neighbours are not fans either. Haha I love that they make my clothes softer and I don't need the dryer sheets. I live in an apartment and I pay for laundry so even if I can take the clothes out sooner I won't save any money. However, my Manager has asked me not to use them because of the noise and with my shift work, I do laundry at odd hours. I think the wool dryer balls will be the perfect solution! Thank you for the post.

I only use my dryer during winter, so about 2-3 months of the year — and not for everything, I try to line dry as much as I can :) I do have an undercover washing line as well as the outside line — but with 5 kids, I just can't seem to get it all dry without the dryer! These balls look fantastic — every little bit helps :)

I've been using cloth static sheets for awhile now. They're so much better than those stinky, oily, disposable sheets. I would love to try these wool balls!

I have tried plastic dryer balls over the years. Noisy! Dont last long either. Some members of our family are highly sensitive/allergic to traditional laundry soaps and definitely any fabric softeners. I would love to try the wool dryer balls. I will do anything to save energy, money and our environment. I dry nearly everything on the line outside all summer. I hang things out on nice winter days. When laundry freezes on the line it looses quite a bit of the moisture in it. Then I bring the frozen clothes in to the dryer and drying time is reduced because of it. I also hang many things on a line inside. It helps with the humidity indoors during those months when it is so dry and hard on our sensitive skin. Another energy saving trick I love to use

We don't even have a dryer, so we find places to put our drying racks in all weather. However, I did go over to my mom's place the other day when I had to do four loads of new baby clothes/diapers and figured the dryer would help — having those wool balls would be quite handy! And my mom would appreciate the gift I'm sure.

I've been using a drying rack since I did my first load of laundry a gazillion years ago. I hang my man's shirts, which are TOO BIG for the drying rack, from the shower curtain rod on hangers. I only use the dryer for sheets, towels, and socks — always a full load, on a timed setting, and with a clean lint trap … and, of course, sans dryer sheet! I can't remember the last time I ironed. I use a large water bottle to spritz any wrinkles and shake or smooth them away. I would love me some wool dryer balls! Enter my name, please!

Wow, cool idea! I especially like that you can add scent with essential oils!

I "greened" my laundry routine when I was 18 — I bought a green detergent. By the end of the bottle I was making my own soap from the Queen of Green recipes. Later still and for about 2 years now I've been using Earth's Berries soap nuts and I love them. They work exceptionally well, remove stains better than conventional detergents, make your clothes very soft and smell crisp and fresh, they last for a really long time, and they're completely natural and you can compost them when they're done! I highly recommend them.

What a brilliant idea! I had no idea that wool balls would increase a dryer's efficiency. Thanks for the post — I am definitely going to try this out!

We use two drying racks in the house year round to bring up the humidity and decrease dust allergies, but this sounds like a good idea for sheets that are too big for the racks.

I'm with you on the drying racks. I've never owned a dryer.

Awesome…always looking for a way to make my dryer dry faster and better-living in such a humid place, it

Can't believe I've never heard of these before! Definitely going to try out my DIY skills with that tutorial

Thanks for the heads up. I've been using dry racks for my washing although, with moving to a colder climate, I suspect I'll now be needing to machine dry heavier items. These wool dryer balls sound like a wonderful eco-friendlier, skin-safe practice when machine drying. And the anti-static properties are definitely a bonus :)

Sounds interesting! Would live to win some!!

Sounds interesting! I would live to win some!!!

I am always interested in finding ways to cut cost when using hydro, and what simple way to do it! I love all things natural…

These would be great for days when you can't use the clothesline!

We use the clothesline until it goes below 10C, and inside we use a pseudo-Victorian Airer that my husband built to replicate those used in England (it has a pulley system so that everything is lifted up to ceiling level). I'm intrigued by the dryer balls!

So that's what they're for!

I love this idea and have shared it with a few others already!

I live in an apartment and use shared dryers with others in the building where you want to get your stuff in and out as fast as you can. Time is precious — this is a great discovery.

I dry outside as often as I can, but Saskatchewan in the winter is unkind to outdoor drying, and things can take a long time inside as well, so we use the dryer a lot more during the winter. I've used dryer balls before but they were plastic and eventually disintegrated and turned into garbage. Also they made a heck of a racket in the dryer. I'm definitely keen to try this out — if I don't win, I'll just make my own — and maybe a few extra for kid Christmas presents!

I haven't used fabric softener sheets in years. Instead I put some white vinegar in my washing machine 'fabric softener' container. I then dry either on the line, or just in the dryer. But I've always wondered about dryer balls. I'd love to try some! :-)

What a great idea! Plus with winter coming, I need to reduce the static in my dryer!

I bought the plastic dryer balls when they first came out and have found that they do reduce drying time a bit. However, they are no help at all regarding static. It would be nice to try out the wool balls. Since wool is a great absorber of moisture, I anticipate that they would do a much better job than the plastic ones.

I've been eying dryer balls for a while, but still haven't purchased any! Winning some would be even better! :)

we know that greatest impact from appliances comes from the use phase. This is a great way to reduce the life-cycle impacts of washing clothes! I'd love to test these at home

I try to never use my dryer. However, sometimes I can't help it. Reducing my dryers efficiency would be awesome

You can throw a ball of wool yarn in the dryer and I bet it will turn into one of these!

This just shows that really great new ideas are not always high tech. They just have to be ingenious. Congratulations to Jennifer!

This is crazy! Just what might help us to reduce our drying time. Looking forward to have some other tricks like that.

I use a drying rack but with two small kids, there's often too much laundry to hang it all. I try to remember to stick a dry bath towel in the dryer with the wet clothes…works much the same way (although without the aid of separating clothes like the balls I guess). I am curious about the balls with different fabrics — will the 'catch' or pill other fabrics?

Just saw this on another site and will try with an old wool sweater, great idea!

I only use my dryer in winter for sheets and towels. I've been known to throw in an old (clean) shoe to help break up the laundry lumps but these balls would certainly do the trick, especially as they help absorb moisture.

These are great! I don't use my dryer very often, but these would definitely make me feel better about the times I have to.

I saw something like this at the local farmer's market and thought that it's a good idea. It would help to reduce drying time of the items that don't fit on my indoor drying rack when it's too cold or rainy to use the clothesline.

I love this! I've been drying sans-sheets but it'd be nice to get some scent in there again, plus the reduced drying time? All about it.

I'd love to win a set of these dryer balls, I've heard of them and have been meaning to try them. I use my drying racks when ever I can and often hang items when they are still a bit damp to reduce dryer use.

These look great! Would love to try them :)

I love wool dryer balls! Pretty and eco-friendly — what could be better?

We've actually been able to start selling wool balls in our store! We're very excited to encourage people to be ecofriendly, especially when it impacts their lives directly! <3 www.naturebumz.com

I prefer to use my racks for drying clothes, but every once in a while I throw stuff in the dryer. I never add anything, but would love to try the wool dryer balls. I can't believe there is something so simple that will decrease drying time that much!

I just read about these last week, never heard of them before. I'd love to try them out!

How interesting! Thanks for the tips.

How interesting! Thanks for the tips.

What a neat idea!

Just last month I made wool dryer balls and kicked the toxic dryer sheet habit! Not only do clothes dry faster they feel softer too.

Less dryer time? I'm in!

Who would have thought something so simple could do so much! We hate using our dryer but sometimes have little choice. It's nice to know we can make it a little more eco friendly.

These look great and I love the idea of improving my dryer's efficiency!

What a great idea! I will be looking into this!
Really appreciate all the great ideas I read on this blog!

I have a clothes line outside which I LOVE until it gets too cold, then I use the two dryer racks in the basement. I think the clothes last longer and you don't have to use all that energy to blow air into your laundry. I do admit to using my dryer in the winter to dry sheets and towels — but I gave up dryer sheets long ago and now have dryer balls. I would like to try out wool ones.

for real? cant believe something so simple can make this kind of a difference….thanks for this post!

LOVE IT

That is a great trick and for once it is something I have never heard before. I am definitely going to try it!

I bought my wool dryer balls from WoolDryerBalls.com 4 years ago and we LOVE them- They work wonderfully. I have not bought laundry softeners on 4 years!!

Great idea! I've never heard of it before but can't wait to give it a try.
