Bounce Dryer Bar Product Review

I wrote over a month ago that I was in the process of trying out the Bounce Dryer Bar (the up to 2 months size).  I had seen it in a few magazines and was wondering how well it worked.  The day after I put it in my dryer, my laundry room smelled amazing.  I try (emphasize try) to remember to put a dryer sheet in, but I usually don't.  The idea of putting the dryer bar in and not having to remember dryer sheets really enticed me.  It has been 8 weeks and my load tally is at 35 loads.  It is still going.  I have not had it wear down to the replace notice yet.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product.  It works extremely well and is very easy to use.  The prices in my area for it are $3.79-$4.19.  I strongly believe that it has been a great value for my hard earned dollar.  I did buy this product myself, by the way.

There are a few tips I would like to give you, that I learned by trial and error.  Some might seem like no brainers, but sometimes I have no brain.  The heat of the dryer softens the bar (which feels like a crayon at room temperature), so you might want to remove the bar from the holder if you are going to put shoes in it.  The shoes will knock the bar loose and then the shoes will knock off chunks of the very soft bar.  You might also want to remove the bar if you are going to dry overalls.  The metal fasteners of the overalls will knock off chunks of the bar.  You do not need to worry about buttons on jeans or smaller things like that.  I have done plenty of jeans with no problem.  Like I said, I LOVE this and I will continue to buy it.  Try it.

What is the most times you had to wash an item of clothing to get the smell out of it?
