I love free stuff. Even if I don’t normally use whatever the free thing is. I might have a problem.
Regardless, I was super-excited when I was chosen to receive a new Bounce Bar to try out. I was mostly excited that it came in unscented which meant I could actually try it out since we have smell and skin sensitivities in our house. Normally, I just add vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser because it works, it’s inexpensive, it’s safe for our septic, and it’s hypoallergenic.
THE BAD NEWS?
- It’s still a chemical on your clothes.
- It’s more expensive than vinegar.
- I don’t think it will last 6 months in our house but we have the equivalent of two households doing laundry.
THE GOOD NEWS*?
- Installation was a breeze. It just sticks to your dryer drum. After over a month of using it, it’s never fallen off.
- It’s really unscented…really.
- It pops our easily in case you don’t want to soften a load.
- It’s amazing at getting pet hair out of things. AMAZING!
- There’s nothing to remember each load.
- There’s no funky residue feel on your clothes which I was afraid of since it’s a big hunka fabric softener bar.
