When a person hates laundry, she tends to put it off until it turns into this...
Right. It’s safe to say that the laundry and I are not BFFs. But, like anyone else, I have a family that prefers wearing clean clothes on a daily basis and my husband, for some odd reason, will not include buying new clothes and getting rid of the dirty ones into our monthly budget.
Weird, huh?
So anytime I hear of any product that has the potential to make doing laundry even one step quicker/cheaper/easier, I’m all game for giving it a try. Which is why I was pleased to try out the Bounce Dryer Bar.
In the grand scheme of doing laundry, pulling out a dryer sheet and tossing it in with the clothes is not that great of a time suck. However, the Bounce Dryer Bar, by eliminating the need to reach for a dryer sheet, has given me one less thing to think about and as a busy Mom with a 100 thousand things on my mind, that actually provides a tremendous amount of freedom. With the Bounce Dryer Bar, all you do is peel the backing off of what feels like a big bar of soap then stick it inside your dryer and voila! Laundry just got one step easier. It’s simple, convenient and automatic. There may also be a cost benefit as the dryer bar will last up to four months leaving your clothes smelling fresh, feeling soft and controlling static cling without the need to constantly run out for more dryer sheets.
This is the part of the review where I confess that I am actually a liquid softener kinda gal. I love how good my clothes smell when I use liquid fabric softener as opposed to dryer sheets. So I was admittedly a bit skeptical when I began using the Bounce Dryer Bar. But I needed not fear (and neither should you). The Bounce Dryer Bar not only makes my clothes smell amazing, but it also acts as an air freshener for my entire laundry room. And, oddly enough, that actually makes me enjoy doing laundry a little bit more. It’s a miracle! And look at how much my family enjoys their clothes after using the Bounce Dryer Bar!
See how happy they are? Look at their smiles!

I don’t mind doing laundry, I guess putting it away is my least fave.

I love Bounce. I love Bounce more that they’re trying to make things better. And, I’m willing to support that love by trying Bounce drier bars. And if I like them, I’ll even write about them. You can’t ask for more than that, eh Bounce?
I live with and do the laundry for 3 boys….I can’t believe how bad their laundry smells and that is what I hate the most.
I just hate doing the laundry lol
my hubby is the one who does the laundry sometimes I help him

My dryer is a top loader so I’m not sure I could use the dryer bar. I received a free sample and gave it to my daughter-in-law. She was thrilled to get it because she’s been using them ever since they first came out.

I know this is a contest involving Bounce…but in reality, I really do love Bounce!
I hate that I pull all the laundry together, wash it, fold it, put it away. Then I turn around 3 times and magically all the hampers are full again! Ick!

I’m not sure if folding laundry or putting away laundry is my least favorite thing about laundry. It’s definitely a toss-up!
I hate folding clothes after they are clean and putting them away…I have a bad habit of letting the clean clothes sit clean in the basket for days! LOL

My least favorite thing is just doing it.
Thanks for the contest.
