Wednesday, October 17, 2007 I saw these Euro Cloths in an Ideal Bite newsletter. They are "superabsorbent, reusable, biodegradable cloths you can throw in the dishwasher." When I went to the Twist website I found that they also had Euro Sponges for wiping and Loofah Sponges for scrubbing... both biodegradable. And they are cute too! I am also digging these Nellie's Dryerballs. They "soften fabrics naturally without using chemical fabric softeners." Now that line-drying season is over, I could really use these.

By  mamasgotmoxie, at 17/10/07 4:21 PM I got some of those dryer balls, and I can vouch for them -- they really do reduce wrinkles and shorten the amount of time you need to dry your clothes. By  Helen, at 18/10/07 8:58 AM I picked up some dryerballs at a local grocery (Meijer) - but they were in the baby section under they brandname "totally toddler"- made by the same company and all, exact same product, just pitching it to parents as a way to soften kids laundry without chemicals. And they are pink! Anyway, I noticed the Nellie's ones are around $20 online and mine were $13.99 They work great and shorten drying time a little bit too. By  julie., at 18/10/07 9:04 AM I have the dryer balls too, they do seem to work. Some things will come out of the dryer staticy, but it seems to go away very quickly. By  Tina, at 18/10/07 9:14 AM Hi Jenny! I just wanted to pass along some info! I know you love cupcakes too (like me) and this week is "Cupcakes for a Cause" week. For every email cupcake everyone sends, they will donate $1 for Cancer Care for kids! www.cupcakesforacause.org Plus, there are Bakeries all around the U.S. that are donating a portion of the sales for this cause. I'm sending out cupcakes to EVERYONE I know! Thanks! Maria in California By  Anonymous, at 18/10/07 9:18 AM I think I might also try the dryer balls...We've already switched to a more Earth-friendly, non-perfumed or dyed laundry detergent (although it was more for my sensitive skin's sake at first). Also....I have the exact same towels! They're in our half bath, which has a 'water' theme. By  Jeri, at 18/10/07 11:01 AM I haven't noticed my stuff getting dryer faster with the dryer balls, but they are great for fluffing things up that would normally get all bunchy, like a duvet cover. I'm pretty sure all real loofahs are biodegradable. I was amazed to find out they grow like a zucchini, not a sea sponge, lol! By  VaxGirl, at 19/10/07 5:53 PM I bought the Nellie's this fall and I am really enjoying them. My mom was shocked at the price, but I figure they will last as long or longer than $20 worth of dryer sheets. That's about a year's worth.
