Bounce Dryer Bar — 

The new Bounce dryer bar, I think is a good idea, that can become a great idea with a little tweaking.

I got mine in the mail about three weeks ago and the impressive looking packaged got me curios and exited.   ooh... Outdoor Fresh,  can't  wait to try.

The dryer bar has the appearance like that of a soap bar and is designed to stick to your dryer. I was instructed.. Not to place the bar on the back wall, door, or fins, the pieces that stick up from the dryer drum....okay..I'm still clueless about the last one, but I placed it on the inside, on one side of my dryer and that seems to be the correct place.

I washed a little of everything, and all of those items came out soft and a little fluffy, But one thing was missing" Sniff..sniff..sniff.. the scent!   Where's the Outdoor Fresh  scent!

It was a little faint to begin with, but I assumed that it would become stronger from the heat of the dryer.

  It's one of the things I like about dryer sheets and fabric softeners...ahhh the fresh scent of Spring rain, Gentle breeze, Baby powder, Bountiful flowers, etc.

   Lint..from the clothing is sticking to the bar and it now looks like a messy chalk board eraser, but it's still holding, still sticking to the dryer.

I"m assuming it's to early to tell if this lint will affect the performance of the bar, for it is supposed to last for 2 Months, Stay tuned.

I liked the way the clothing felt after they were dry, nice and soft as expected. Dissapointed with the lack of scent. Not sure what to think about the lent sticking to the bar.

 I understand what the makers of Bounce is trying to do, and I like this idea. Dryer sheets are a pain in the butt!  they cling to your clothing and you have to sweep them up from the floor.

However,  I had learned to live with these annoyances because I like the way my clothes smell and feel after use.

I'm giving Bounce dryer bar three and a half stars because they are almost there! but not yet.
