Exploding ball .... tumble dryer.

[sense4all]

Did any one else buy the balls from the Ideal home show? My blue one has exploded during the first use .... was there a dodgy batch. I have had my others for a couple of years and they are fine so I am surprised - did it happen to anyone else?

I think sense4all means the little rubber balls that you can put in your tumble dryer to help dry you laundry quicker.

There are a few ways to dry your laundry quicker, 1)use a faster spin speed in the washing machine 2) put smaller loads in the tumbler 3) set the tumbler temp to the highest heat setting 4) peg them out in Mexico.

We live by some ultra posh people ( my role here is to drive down the price of housing in the area by acting normally - well as close as I can get!) We have a south facing front garden and I arranged to have a whirly in there as a temp. measure but Mr Sense said ( and I do these things for devilment) "I was just too pikkey for words" and dismantled it. I do fancy pegging out in Mexico, that might be a goer.

sense4all, do these balls work better than a normal tumble dry??

[sense4all]

Judie they cost a tenner and save about 25 per cent energy per drying cycle, one has massaging nodules on it and the other has raised flat pimples, so you don't need bounce sheets or to do much ironing if you grab the stuff as soon as tumbler ends. http://www.dryerballs.co.uk/
