Other half brought one back from a food/ecology show at the weekend, I'm cynical (at best), be interested to know if anyone has tried them, and what your experiences have been?

I've used the drier balls but they were from JML. Didn't notice anything different to my clothes other than they made a bloomin' racket in the tumble drier

This sort of stuff is 99% bunkum and crap. So imagine my surprise when after 5 mins of googling, I can't really find anyone with a bad word to say about it? Good reviews all over the place. Weird. Looks like you can get 720-washes worth on Amazon for £19.99 including a claimed 30 day money back guarantee. Hmm.
I am sufficiently convinced that I think Mintball should get one and do some tests, for the good of the forum. Would do it myself but obviously, washing, and I'm male, so I can't work the chine.

It's a plastic ball that seems to contain a couple of packets of baking beans, as FA says, it's supposeldy good for 720 washes, but my main concern is it leaving a chalky residue on dark clothes, £20 seems to be good to be true in all honesty.

But not as old as me, dear: I've seen Lynda Baron on stage. Twice.

Just make sure you get at least 719 washes out of it before the 30 days are up though!
6 more washes to go before we start using the egg (as in 6 of the normal washing tab things under the sink), will keep people posted as to how good the "egg" thing is.
