I used to use 2 or 3 and it didn't help but at least 5 does. You can make wool ones really easily by wrapping 100% wool yarn around an old sock until it's at least tennis ball sized then washing until it's felted. I made ours in no time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2708132 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 20:12:44 +0000 JerricaBenton 2708132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wool dryer balls. I feel I'm in the minority but I use like, 8 or 9 in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2708070 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 18:16:56 +0000 PawPrints 2708070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wool dryer balls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2708002 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 15:38:47 +0000 snowjewelz 2708002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get the huge wool dryer balls! They don't eliminate the issue but help a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2707400 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 12:39:46 +0000 SweetiePie 2707400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the plastic dryer balls and I also find that adding some towels to my sheets helps. I think when there's less room for them to toss around they don't tangle as much.<br /> And sometimes I dry all of the top sheets together with the pillow cases and the fitted sheets by themselves. Since fitted seem to be the culprit for me.<br /> All this do say I have the same issue and feel your pain and there hasn't been a perfect solution but I alternate all of the above depending on the situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2707392 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 12:30:31 +0000 MaryM 2707392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you shake out the sheets before they go in the dryer?</p> <p>And I also second wool dryer balls. I usually throw in one more than usual with sheets because inevitably one will get wrapped up in a fitted sheet and become useless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2707367 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 11:59:34 +0000 birdofafeather 2707367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wool dryer balls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2707324 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 10:48:41 +0000 catgirl 2707324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Using dryer balls or even tennis balls will help a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2707321 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 10:45:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2707321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine doesn't make noises or shake but they do wad up - I just open it up shake them a little and dry again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-solve-the-dryer-wad#post-2707315 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 10:38:38 +0000 cat620 2707315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a new high-capacity front-loading dryer, which is great at drying large loads of clothes. But one thing I hate about this dryer is anytime I wash blankets or sheets, they all get tangled up in one big wad, and the the dryer makes loud thumping noises and starts to shake all over the place. I have to pause it and untangle everything at least 2-3 times during the drying cycle. Is there a way to prevent the dryer wad when drying large items? </p>
