Dryer Balls

I like this idea. I bet we could save a ton of money if we stopped buying the "scent booster" crap and just used a few drops of mineral spirits or MIL-PRF-7870...

I just use detergent that has a little scent built in - Cheer in my case. It has a really subtle vanilla like smell. I don't use fabric softener, dryer sheets, etc. All just seemed like things I didn't need.

My wife does more of the laundry than I do, but if I run a load, I throw in a drier sheet because I'm instructed to. If I'm doing multiple loads, I leave that same sheet in there until she catches me at it and removes it.

I find the whole idea of drier sheets ironic. (And that is not a pun).

In a world and culture obsessed with evil chemical exposure, we (not me) douse our clothes and linens with scents and fabric softeners and stink up our homes with aerosol fragrances.

They make car air fresheners in that flavor. Mm mm good.

Oh, but those aren’t chemicals, they’re fragrances !

So THAT'S what I can do with all those used swab pads - repackage them and sell them as air fresheners. Genius!

I'm amused that they have given Naphthalene a harmless sounding name ... "mothballs"
