Bounce Bar

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?

1. It’s still a chemical on your clothes.
2. It’s more expensive than vinegar.
3. 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*?

1. Installation was a breeze. It just sticks to your dryer drum. After over a month of using it, it’s never fallen off.
2. It’s really unscented…really.
3. It pops our easily in case you don’t want to soften a load.
4. It’s amazing at getting pet hair out of things.  AMAZING!
5. There’s nothing to remember each load.
6. There’s no funky residue feel on your clothes which I was afraid of since it’s a big hunka fabric softener bar.
