BellasBmw · 03-11-2006, 07:56 PM

I was going to take my jacket to be dry cleaned. So i checked the tag to see if it was ok.. WTF? They should include tennis balls as part of the purchase...

I don't believe I've ever seen anything like this before, but what a novel idea to get rid of bumps, ect. while cleaning!

Tennis balls are an asset in the laundry room. Not only can they be tossed into the dryer to give new life to a comforter, some curtains or a jacket, but a new tennis ball will also help fight static in the laundry, just toss it in the dryer with the rest of the clothes

vladinecko · 03-13-2006, 02:38 PM

i've been using tennis balls when doing my laudry for a while now. it does look kind of strange on the shirt tag though...

Dante · 03-13-2006, 02:55 PM

Just add some Schwedy balls!

BellasBmw · 03-13-2006, 07:29 PM

Thanks for clairfying, i still think its so funny to see it written on a tag

shimshimhada · 03-13-2006, 08:39 PM

People dry clean their jackets? I thought everyone just throws it out and buys a new one?

e90rocks · 03-13-2006, 09:00 PM

Do you use new tennis balls? Don't you get optic yellow fuzz all over stuff?

MonacoBlueNJ · 03-13-2006, 09:42 PM

I just washed my North Face a few days ago...I just threw three tennis balls in there while it was drying on low. Use new or fairly new tennis balls and run them under soap and water before you dry your jacket.

If you air dry, it will lump up. Also, after its fully dried, you might want to put it on the "fluff" setting with the tennis balls just to make sure all the lumps are out.

MonacoBlueNJ · 03-13-2006, 09:43 PM

Forgot to mention...no fuzz so don't worry about that.
