Actually, I went to our local hardware store today - more like a town General Store, where you can actually get boxes of Borax to do your laundry!

I asked the clerk about dryer balls (with a straight face ) and she led me to reuseable dryer sheets made by Natura. No chemicals or anything!

Good for 500 loads.

Don't know if that brand is in the USA, but reuseable dryer sheets should be around. Can't wait to try mine!

(and they will be QUIET. I wondered about the noise thing myself)

thanks for the rating!
