What are you using for dryer sheets?

Has anyone tried dryer balls?  If you are using dryer sheets, what brand are you using?

Does Dreft make a liquid fabric softener?

I'll be interested to see what people reply, too, but I think there are bounce free and clear sheets out there...

I saw those at Babies R Us last night and I should have picked up a box, but they were 8.99 which I thought was outrageous.

I also saw the dryer balls.  For $14.99, you get two, and I'm pretty sure they last for a long time.  I'm not sure how well they work, though.

Dreft makes dryer sheets, but not only do I hate the way Dreft smells, I have read in a few places that you shouldn't use dryer sheets or fabric softener on babies clothes. It's just one more thing that could possibly irritate their skin.

Fabric softener in general is a bad idea. The chemicals are awful for you.?

I heard any fabric softner takes away the fire retardant of baby clothes.  But I could be wrong.

Sorry I meant to add you can use a 1/2 a cup of white vinegar in your wash instead of fabric softener. It does wonders for softening clothes! And it doesn't smell like vinegar when dried

I started using dryer balls- they work well to cut down drying time and make the clothes soft.  I got some on etsy.com but you can make them yourself.
