has anyone had the dryer balls put holes in your clothes

Not holes in my clothes but they marked up the inside of my brand new dryer. the dryer is not steel/aluminum, it is painted white. after using these dryer balls one time, it looks like I but a bunch of rocks in my dryer and turned it on. black marks everywhere. I was so disappointed. it wouldn't be a big deal if the dryer wasn't brand new. I can totally see where they could put holes in your clothes. the spines are way too sharp. I would advise against using these as they can be dangerous to your dryer and your clothes, it sounds like.

No - no holes - I only used them for a couple of weeks though - I couldn't stand the loud banging noise they made @ I also thought that wouldn't be good for the drier!!

Funny you should ask because I noticed holes in my clothes after using these just a few times. But the holes occurred after I stopped using the hedgehogs. I think what happened is that the hedgehogs possibly damaged the drum of the dryer, knocking it slightly loose or something, and the clothes then began to get caught on the back of the dryer where the back meets the sides. Now, my dryer was 18 years old, so I may be wrong in blaming the initial damage on the hedgehogs. We wound up getting a new dryer and I'm afraid to use the hedgehogs now.

I have not, but I used to use a different oil in the dryer. I would put a couple of drops on a washcloth and throw it in the load. This oil is yellow, so I don't know if that would be an issue.

My never have been. But I take them out and hang them up as soon as they are dry. Or they will wrinkle if you have to many clothes In there.

I think you ask whether the bag can go into the dryer? Yes, I have placed delicated tops inside the mesh bag in the dryer.

Yes and comes out perfect! We threw a couple things in washer to balance it out. Also we dried in dryer with a tennis ball per instructions and was in perfect shape upon removal. Really impressed!

I didn't think so, but it made it through the washing machine and the dryer! Not sure I'd test it again... ;o)

i use it on cotton balls to put in drawers and i imagine the dryer balls could be used as well. I would not put directly on clothes. could also be used as a room spray as well

They are just a tiny bit bigger than a tennis ball but more padded. They make a dull thumping sound in the dryer, not really loud though. I really doubt they could hurt the dryer as they are bouncing around in the clothes. I have been using mine for awhile a they work pretty well but still allow some static cling in the clothes, particularly if you have synthetic and wool in the same load.

I have not tried to inflate a dryer ball. usually by the time one goes flat I have had it for quite some time so it just gets replaced. Sorry I'm sure that wasn't much help. Did you try contacting the maker about this matter?

Dryer balls are meant to reduce drying time & static cling w/out chemicals and waste of another product(s). A dryer sheet would defeat the purpose, IMO. Also, I haven't used any fabric softener of any kind (liquid, sheets, etc.) for 10-12 years & I find that I almost never have any static in my laundry (very rarely will I have static if I happen to wash towels w/new socks... but once the socks have been washed a time or two there is no static... & even the little static is barely there).

I have never had little grey balls in the washer so not sure what you are talking about. I still use the wash balls and have had no problems. Follow the directions.

I have done this and when they go into the dryer they become very clingy and stick to other fabrics when they are put in the dryer. Also, company said not to use fabric softener and dryer sheets that will coat these delicate threads in the cloth thus diminishing the property of attraction. Not totally sure of what you are looking for. Kim

I've had this problem too. I think it might have more to do with your dryer. Are you leaving your clothes in the dryer for a long time before removing them?

I put them in the washer and have put them in the dryer and it doesn't seem to bother them. The only thing is that the edges pick up lint from the dryer. They are invincible!

No, not at all. I love them. Before I had these I had to run the dryer twice for nearly every load. Now, only one run and the clothes are dry and nice!

Yes. I have. thrown mine in the washing machine numerous times and it comes out looking like new every time. The squeaker is in a velcro pocket and removes before washing.
