give away: Nellie’s Dryerballs
It's another give away! Delight.com wants to spread some eco-friendly laundry love and would like to send Nellie's Dryerballs to six winners. But listen to this, since Delight is all about giving gifts each winner will receive two sets of Nellie's Dryerballs, one for themselves and one to give to a friend. How sweet.
Delight send me a set of Nellie's Dryerballs to try out for myself and I'm heartily impressed. Previously whenever I would do a load of kitchen towels I wouldn't use dryer sheets since I don't want a fresh scent transferring onto my hands just before I slice a green pepper. I was used to the kitchen towels either coming out fantastically statically charged, or with a few that got stuck in the middle of a tangle and are still damp. With the dryerballs however, the towels were dry and fluffy and didn't have any chemical scents on them. My socks, shirts and jeans all came out wrinkle free and soft without using chemicals that coat the surface of the fibers.
I also washed two pillows - one firm and springy, and the other limp yet puffy filled with a down alternative. I threw them in the dryer with the dryerballs and they emerged surprisingly quickly, dry all the way through and fluffier than when they went in. I'm thrilled with how well the dryerballs worked on these, and might get up the courage to wash and dry my down comforter at home.
I expected Nellie's Dryerballs to dissipate static cling, but I wasn't expecting them to make my laundry so fluffy or get it to dry faster. I'm very pleased with how well they work. The only downside to the dryerballs is that they are a bit loud in the dryer when you are doing smaller loads, but this is a tiny thing when you think about never having to buy dryer sheets again. We've been using them for less than a week and already they just stay in our dryer all ready to go. The balls themselves are ovoid, so they won't just roll around in your dryer, they'll bounce drunkenly. Nellie's Dryerballs come in a cute (and recyclable) box with a cheerful comic strip on the back explaining how they work.
If you'd like to win some fabulous Nellie's Dryerballs, please leave a comment on this thread. You've got until 6 p.m. PST (Los Angeles time) this Friday, Sept. 21st. At that point I'll let the random number generator choose six winners and you'll be contacted for a mailing address.
Small print: Even though your email address won't show up in the comments, I'll be able to see it. If you have not commented on this site before I'll need to approve it, so if your comment doesn't appear right away wait a few hours and I'll get to it. Let me know if you have any questions.
If you don't win you can console yourself and get a set here at Delight (they are very good about wrapping things up prettily and including freebies whenever they can).
update: Congratulations to the winners! (I'm still waiting to hear back from one person.)
- Ellen is going to share with her sister Sue.
- Ceri isn't sure who to share with, but she is happy to win.
- Dawn is going to share with her sister who has a large family and therefore lots of laundry.
- Jennifer is going to share with her friend Theresa whose sons are outdoorsy and get clothing very dirty. The dryerballs will also help to alleviate asthma and allergies in the family.
- Teri has three siblings and she'll have to choose which has the most laundry to deal with.
Oh, those look neat. I hate using dryer sheets, as well.
Comment by Laura — September 19, 2007 @ 12:50 pm
I would LOVE these! Please let the random generator pick me.....
Comment by Robin — September 19, 2007 @ 12:50 pm
I would definitely love to use these dryerballs. The other thing about dryer sheets is that they leave a coating on clothes that could create skin allergies. I try to avoid softeners but I miss the fluffiness and I hate static cling.
Comment by Lisa Chan — September 19, 2007 @ 12:50 pm
Yes please... and if i don't win... i think i will get some anyways. =)
Comment by Jessica Mae — September 19, 2007 @ 12:52 pm
I'd never heard of these, but they sound awesome.
Comment by Josie — September 19, 2007 @ 12:52 pm
Oh, those would be perfect - my boys are allergic to whatever they put in dryer sheets. Thank you for sharing this.
Comment by Liberty — September 19, 2007 @ 12:53 pm
I'll be very impressed if they dry my laundry quicker...our dryer is terrible.
Comment by Erin — September 19, 2007 @ 12:53 pm
I'm trying to get away from all the chemicals and residues in our laundry, so I think these might be just what I'm looking for!

Comment by sunny — September 19, 2007 @ 12:59 pm
Arrrrr! (Pirate Day, don't yuh know.)
I'd love to get my hands on these. My wife has sensitive skin, the kind that doesn't mesh well with dryer sheets.
Comment by erat — September 19, 2007 @ 12:59 pm
Ooh! I'm intrigued. I slept in my sleeping bag last night because I tried to shove two sheets and a duvet cover into the dryer all at once, and....yeah. Not so dry by bedtime.
Comment by Liz — September 19, 2007 @ 1:00 pm

Comment by Thien-Kim — September 19, 2007 @ 1:03 pm
I'd like to get in on this - if my being in Canada isn't a problem. I've been wondering how well these kinds of balls work! I tried some that were covered in velcro, and they just all kind of clumped together and did nothing.
Comment by Kirstie — September 19, 2007 @ 1:03 pm
I sooo want to try these!
Comment by Lolie — September 19, 2007 @ 1:04 pm

Comment by Liz — September 19, 2007 @ 1:12 pm
I make my own laundry soap to avoid smelly detergents, and I've been trying to find a way to do away with the softener smell as well. I'm glad to hear these work!
Comment by Maria — September 19, 2007 @ 1:12 pm

Comment by jen — September 19, 2007 @ 1:23 pm
Oh I would love to have these. They would solve the static attack of the multiple soccer uniforms which are washed in my home every week. With 2 girls playing on 2 teams each it is killing me.

Comment by Cinnamon — September 19, 2007 @ 1:28 pm
Oooh, these sound lovely!
Comment by Erin — September 19, 2007 @ 1:29 pm

Me lik-ey. I've been lusting for dryer balls...
Kelly
Comment by Kelly — September 19, 2007 @ 1:29 pm
Our apartment building's laundry room is depressing -- these cheery, non-smelly static fighters would make it a lot more cheery.
(crosses fingers for the win)

Comment by Megan — September 19, 2007 @ 1:30 pm
Pick me, pick me, Random Number Generator! I've always wondered about those dryer balls and if they really work. I'm glad they've made your pillows fluffy again - mine need a good fluffing.
Comment by leanne — September 19, 2007 @ 1:30 pm

Comment by jen — September 19, 2007 @ 1:33 pm
I never use dryer sheets because I'm not a fan of the smell. Never had them growing up either, as they irritated my mother's skin. This looks fabulous!
Comment by Morgan — September 19, 2007 @ 1:34 pm
I was just eyeing those on Delight this morning!
Comment by Sarah — September 19, 2007 @ 1:36 pm

Comment by Layne — September 19, 2007 @ 1:42 pm
Ooh...I've been thinking about getting some of these, but I was wondering how well they'd really work.
I hope the random number generator guides smile upon me!
Comment by Heather — September 19, 2007 @ 1:43 pm
I know the perfect person to give the extra set to! Plus I love the idea of being able to fluff baby clothes without any chemicals. Babies should have fluffy stuff too that doesn't irritate their skin!
Comment by Kat — September 19, 2007 @ 1:44 pm
I've seen those at Sprouts, but haven't had the guts to try them yet (not knowing anyone who has). So I wonder if fabric softener is no longer needed as well?
Comment by Lisa — September 19, 2007 @ 1:45 pm
I never thought those things would really work... but I do trust your experience. Sign me up!
Comment by JenAgain — September 19, 2007 @ 1:45 pm

I really like the idea of using them when drying pillows and dish towel! Thanks for the review.
Comment by Jenifer — September 19, 2007 @ 1:49 pm
Wow. Those sound great! If I don't win 'em, I'll probably go buy 'em!
Comment by Jessica — September 19, 2007 @ 1:49 pm
Ooooh, please add my name into the virtual hat! I've been wondering about these, and I'm glad to read that your review of them, as I trust your judgement. (Gaiam.com sells dryer balls also, and I was very tempted. But then I saw some similar ones at CVS, which made me think less of them, like they were an "as seen on TV" fad.)

Toys for my dryer! Yay!
Comment by Lisa — September 19, 2007 @ 1:56 pm
i've been eying those for a while, but i figured i'd wait and see if a couple reviews popped up on any of the blogs i read. maybe i'll buy a couple to toss in the basket of household items i'm giving as gifts for the two dozen bridal showers i seem to be involved with this fall.
Comment by ariel — September 19, 2007 @ 1:56 pm
Awesome. I would love to try these as I quit using fabric softener when I found out it reduces flame retardancy on clothing (did you know that adding borax to the wash increases natural flame resistance?). I use vinegar in the rinse cycle to help make my clothes softer but it isn't quite the same. Yay for fluffy towels!
Comment by Miss Sassy — September 19, 2007 @ 1:56 pm

Treehugger had a writeup about these dryerballs today that claims they're less than eco-friendly. Here's the link:http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/nellie_dryer_balls.php
Comment by Eliza — September 19, 2007 @ 1:57 pm
They're the kind of simple thing that makes me thing "Hmm, I should be able to make those." I guess molded silicone isn't really a DIY-project, though. LOL. I am also wondering what a random number generator is generally used for.
Comment by Ann — September 19, 2007 @ 1:58 pm
Such generosity. Please throw my number into the random generator! :)

Comment by Rebecca — September 19, 2007 @ 2:25 pm
Useful and cute too! Yes, please!
Comment by Steph — September 19, 2007 @ 2:26 pm
That would be awesome! I've seen these type of balls all over the news/web lately and would love to try them out!
Comment by Heather — September 19, 2007 @ 2:26 pm
I love the idea of pitching the dryer sheets - which make towels less absorbent. Thanks from one of your minions.
Comment by Dawn — September 19, 2007 @ 2:27 pm
Add me to the pool!
Comment by Monica — September 19, 2007 @ 2:30 pm
Lovely! I think these are nifty. I share my laundry with three households and these would really lower our collective dryer sheet expenses.
Comment by George — September 19, 2007 @ 2:30 pm
i just got a new dryer! when i was in new york i loved used those dryer sheets at a friend's house... but the australian ones just aren't as nice. would love to try these little things.
Comment by deborah — September 19, 2007 @ 2:32 pm
what a fabulous idea! I think I'll definitely go out and get these if I'm not a lucky winner. :)
Comment by emily — September 19, 2007 @ 2:32 pm
Not sure if anyone has already said so, but Treehugger had some interesting things to say about these dryer balls:

Thank you for doing this give-away even if I don't win. :-)

dear notmartha,
you rock - just for that sweater alone.
Comment by Melinda — September 19, 2007 @ 2:37 pm
Ooooh. I really want these. Then I can throw my dryer sheets away.
Comment by Gail — September 19, 2007 @ 2:40 pm
So cool! I hope I win them. Love your blog!
Comment by Mary — September 19, 2007 @ 2:42 pm
Must try these...
Comment by Kate — September 19, 2007 @ 2:43 pm
These sound interesting. I've never heard of them before. I would love to see if they get my stuff dryer faster. I dried a load of towels the other day and had them in there for 80 minutes and they were still damp when I went to pull them out!
Comment by Shanna — September 19, 2007 @ 2:44 pm
oh. nice! when we bought our washer/dryer, the salesman said using dryer sheets were bad, something like the chemicals were heated off the sheet and then included in the fumes/air that is vented out... AND I don't like to use liquid fabric softener in the washer on towels, as I think that reduces the absorbancy of the towels somewhat...
Comment by Jane — September 19, 2007 @ 2:46 pm
I've been eyeing these for a while! Glad to hear they work!
Comment by Jen — September 19, 2007 @ 2:47 pm
Nifty! Those would be great.
Comment by Dianna — September 19, 2007 @ 2:48 pm
i would love to win those! i just got my very first apartment with a washer and dryer and since i am allergic to dryer sheets this would be such a blessing! and i could give a set to my good friend who is in my wedding who used to let me do laundry at her house for free!
Comment by myste — September 19, 2007 @ 2:49 pm
I'm in...
Comment by Jennie — September 19, 2007 @ 2:50 pm
We have to run our apartment complex's dryer twice to get our clothes anywhere near dry, so maybe these will cut that time down!
Comment by Kristen — September 19, 2007 @ 2:50 pm
wootwoot!
Comment by clherren — September 19, 2007 @ 2:51 pm
Pick me! Pick me! I've been wondering about those for a while.
Comment by Rebecca — September 19, 2007 @ 2:51 pm
In an effort to be a little greener, I've been avoiding the dryer sheets (among other things)... and putting up with a whole lot of static! Those little balls are sounding pretty good!
Comment by Laurie — September 19, 2007 @ 2:51 pm
Great giveaways!
Comment by Amye — September 19, 2007 @ 2:52 pm

Comment by michelle — September 19, 2007 @ 2:55 pm
Oh, I would love to win some dryerballs, especially because they're noisy! I have a noisy downstairs neighbor who needs some revenge wreaked on her inconsiderate butt. Dryer balls are just the passive aggressive way to do it, I think!
Comment by Megan — September 19, 2007 @ 2:57 pm
Wow! those look so great, and I have always wanted to try a set. Pick me please!
Comment by Kity — September 19, 2007 @ 2:57 pm

Count me in on the drawing! I don't like using dryer sheets mostly because you keep having to buy them and they just add waste.
Thanks for doing this!

I saw these at that As Seen on TV Store, but couldn't part with the cash, not knowing if they really worked or not. Wow, I would love to win a pair - I really, really hate dryer sheets (with a passion)!
Comment by Hilary — September 19, 2007 @ 3:56 pm
These sound great, and good for the environment!
Comment by Lindsay — September 19, 2007 @ 3:56 pm
Oh yay! I might have to buy a set if I don't win one! I have one dryer ball that I actually found in the dryer of our new house, and it really helps. I bet two oval-shaped ones would be even more amazing.
Comment by amarie — September 19, 2007 @ 4:00 pm
These are great for people not using fabric softener.
Comment by EJ — September 19, 2007 @ 4:02 pm
Oooh! I've never heard of these... I like the idea of using them for pillows and comforters. Our comforter is just a touch too big for the dryer- and probably the washer too, so anything that helps stuff dry faster is a definitely a good thing!
Comment by Miss Huckleberry — September 19, 2007 @ 4:02 pm
Those look cool! And another small step to being more green (no more of those pesky drier sheets)...
Comment by Gabrielle — September 19, 2007 @ 4:03 pm
I would love to win!!
Comment by Courtney — September 19, 2007 @ 4:04 pm
sounds cool. I have to use the 'free of dyes and perfume' dryer sheets already. If I could get rid of dryer sheets altogether that would be wonderful. (pick me. pick me. fingers crossed.)
Comment by ellen — September 19, 2007 @ 4:04 pm
My dad uses things like these, but I never thought they actually worked!
Comment by Jamie — September 19, 2007 @ 4:06 pm
i love those...and especially love getting great laundry results without all the chemicals. I would love to try it out.
Comment by Leslie — September 19, 2007 @ 4:08 pm
Wow, those sound amazing! I've never seen them before. Seems like a great alternative to yucky dryer sheets with their mysterious chemicals!
Comment by Willa — September 19, 2007 @ 4:09 pm
Hah! Those look so funny, but I bet they work great... would love to try them out!
Comment by Michelle — September 19, 2007 @ 4:12 pm

Comment by Andree — September 19, 2007 @ 4:20 pm
Great idea! I love the eco-friendliness of the product--if everyone used them, we could eliminate dryer sheets altogether. ;)
Comment by BA — September 19, 2007 @ 4:21 pm
oooh!!!! I would love to have some blue nubby balls....to put on my clothes.....well you get the point!
Comment by Sarah — September 19, 2007 @ 4:24 pm
Oh these sound fab and I definitely will need to buy some even if I don't win. I've been using dryer balls for a while now, but the static destroys me. These sound like a fantastic invention, must have!

Comment by janna — September 19, 2007 @ 4:50 pm
I've wanted to try these for a while. I have sensitive skin and use detergent with no dyes or perfume. I haven't used dryer sheets because they can be irritating as well. It seems that these would not leave any chemicals that might be irritating. Fantastic!
Comment by Lori — September 19, 2007 @ 4:52 pm
Cute! They're like little blue porcupines.
Comment by Stefanie — September 19, 2007 @ 4:54 pm

Sign me up. I'm allergic to dryer sheets so I'd like to try these out.
Comment by Jennifer — September 19, 2007 @ 5:00 pm
We have an ongoing battle about fabric softeners and the like. If I could find something that made our clothes fluffy without the scent it would be super-handstand awesome!
Comment by Kim L. — September 19, 2007 @ 5:00 pm
These would be wonderful! Thank you for such a great contest.
Comment by Hol — September 19, 2007 @ 5:04 pm

I have been a reader since at least 2005.
Back when you posted the vegan fox!
Good luck everyone!!
Comment by dani — September 19, 2007 @ 5:06 pm
These look really neat. My boyfriend and I have an ongoing soft laundry vs. laundry that doesn't make me sneeze with its mountain freshness argument going on. Perhaps a resolution is nearing...
Comment by Christina — September 19, 2007 @ 5:08 pm
I use a vinegar rinse instead of fabric softner due to perfume sensitivity. I have been trying different things to make the washer & dryer more eco friendly.
Comment by Rachel — September 19, 2007 @ 5:08 pm
Ooooh, I read about those recently and would love to win them. I currently use the method sheets from Target.
Comment by bunnybride — September 19, 2007 @ 5:08 pm
I typically use tennis balls for drying pillows, but these would be so much better -- no weird rubbery sent.
Comment by Alicia H. — September 19, 2007 @ 5:08 pm
You can soften clothes WITHOUT chemicals?!?
Wicked!
Comment by Terry — September 19, 2007 @ 5:12 pm

People at work say I'm crazy but laundry is my favorite chore... so much so that I don't like to call it a chore but rather a hobby!
Comment by Lisa — September 19, 2007 @ 5:21 pm
Ooh! I hope I win! Thanks for the opportunity Megan! Love your blog!
Comment by Melanie — September 19, 2007 @ 5:24 pm
These are such a great idea. I stopped using dryer sheets when my daughter was born. Of course I didn't use them on her laundry, but even my clothes against her skin irritated it when I used dryer sheets. Love this idea.
Comment by AliAnn — September 19, 2007 @ 5:29 pm
pick me, pick me!
Comment by Andrea — September 19, 2007 @ 5:31 pm
Sounds like a wonderful product. I'm smell-sensitive yet my boyfriend keeps trying to sneak in dryer sheets. Even the unscented ones are too stinky!
Comment by Faye — September 19, 2007 @ 5:32 pm
Lots of love for these. My husband and I both hate the smell of dryer sheets, even the "unscented".
Comment by MB — September 19, 2007 @ 5:33 pm
My boyfriend is also obsessed with dryer sheets and I hate 'em! Count me in for the draw.

Comment by amanda — September 19, 2007 @ 5:56 pm
FYI - these are made of PVC, a very UN-environmentally friendly material - see the recent treehugger article - http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/nellie_dryer_balls.php
Comment by sasha — September 19, 2007 @ 5:59 pm
I would love these ... so would my mom. That's who I'd share with b/c she used to use a tennis shoe for fluffing comforters, etc. But if you're not careful about which shoes you use, you can ruin/melt them. I know from experience! LOL!
Comment by Keri — September 19, 2007 @ 6:02 pm
Wow, that's a LOT of comments!

I can't believe I have never left a comment on notmartha as I have been reading you (and loving your posts) forever. Probably no point me winning as I live in New Zealand but what a cool product.

I'd love to get some of these, I hate those smelly dryer sheets.
Comment by Allison — September 19, 2007 @ 10:58 pm
I gave these to everyone last year as stocking stuffers. they work like a charm.
Comment by Tinkerblue — September 19, 2007 @ 10:59 pm
The worst thing about dryer sheets is when you can't find it after a load of laundry. "Must have stayed in the dryer." No. It's in a sleeve, or in a pant leg, and pops out right when you stand up to or shake your boss' boss' hand. Damn dryer sheets.
Comment by Kristel — September 19, 2007 @ 11:11 pm

Comment by peggy — September 20, 2007 @ 2:29 am
I have not used dryer sheets for so long because of all of the chemicals. These I am tempted to try. no more pulling apart clothes with middle of december static cling...
Comment by christy — September 20, 2007 @ 2:37 am
If it's better for the environment - I love it!
Comment by Robin — September 20, 2007 @ 2:50 am

Comment by Sol — September 20, 2007 @ 3:41 am

Comment by Jacqueline — September 20, 2007 @ 3:59 am

Comment by Cassandra — September 20, 2007 @ 4:05 am
they look so cute, i would just want to paint eyes on them and leave them out!
Comment by Karen — September 20, 2007 @ 4:11 am
Oooh! These look so cool. I hate dryer sheets because we, too, have allergies, but also because it seems that the chemicals left behind on bathtowels make them less absorbent somehow? I hope I win!
Comment by Lara — September 20, 2007 @ 4:18 am
One less thing to ruin the environment-love it!
Comment by Julia — September 20, 2007 @ 4:23 am

Comment by heather — September 20, 2007 @ 4:33 am
My son's eczema forced us to give up anything scented (like dryer sheets), and I miss the extra-fluff in the towels. These sound great!
Comment by N — September 20, 2007 @ 4:36 am

I'd take some! Looks like they'd be good for people with skin allergies, like my husband...
Comment by Carrie — September 20, 2007 @ 4:49 am
Waving hand - I'd love a set. The tennis balls I normally use to dry pillows leave a rubbery smell - ick.

Yes! A Drawing! And eco-friendly-ness to boot! I loves it!
Comment by Mary — September 20, 2007 @ 4:54 am
Very curious about what these dryer balls actually do... although I guess you still need to use fabric softener (in the washer) on the clothes you don't put in the dryer?
Comment by devBear — September 20, 2007 @ 4:57 am
I'd love to be in the drawing. Thanks!

Hi! I would like some balls for my dryer. Or maybe my dryer would like some balls. He hasn't been himself since the Great Lint-Trap Cleaning of '07. It might make him feel better.
