My drying balls were a result of wanting to treat myself. I had some Tesco club card vouchers which is the perfect excuse for a reason to buy something for yourself that you don`t really need. Whilst perusing the store, some strange looking balls caught my eye. I was wondering whether they were a pair of kinky massage balls. On closer inspection, I discovered that they were tumble dryer balls!
I hadn`t seen anything like the balls before so I was compelled to have a look. There were 2 balls, one in pale blue and one in lilac, covered in little nobbly bits. They were partially covered with cardboard packaging. I needed to find out more, I really wanted to feel the entire ball in my hand. I was puzzled with regards to their use in drying clothes so I read the cardboard packaging.Claims.

At £7.99 I wondered if they would count as a treat. I wondered if they were worth giving up my treat for and I considered them to be a bit expensive. My curiosity had been aroused though and it got the better of me. Am I a sucker for gimmicks, or will they actually be useful?
Initial Impressions.The balls are hard and spikey. The spikes are blunt but it did seem an unusual concept. Both balls need to be used at the same time. I put them in with the clothes making a mental note of the time of drying. I made sure I removed the fluff form the dryer first. I didn`t use any tumble dryer sheets. I was looking forward to seeing the results, especially the crease test.
The tumble dryer balls are very noisy. This did put me off a bit but I did think that I could put up with the extra noise if it did cut down on drying time.Time.
*****
I do feel a bit guilty using the dryer with regards to the environment. It also costs money to dry clothes in this manner.
I was pleased to discover that drying time does seem to be reduced. Some things seem to dry really quickly, thinner materials. Towels take the longest to dry but it seems to take less time whilst using the balls. The claims are that drying time can be cut by up to 25%.Ironing.

Fluff.

Am I glad I bought them?

Will I continue using them?

The balls may not have been the kind of treat that I was looking for. It was fun trying them though. Anything that will save time or money is good, so that is a treat in itself.
