OK, this is my first post or comment or whatever you would call it. I always thought dryer balls were used not to help dry clothes but to eliminate static cling in the clothes. In other words no need for a fabric softener. To reduce drying time buy a front loading washer, which my wife and I did. It uses about two thirds less water and cuts drying time about 20 minutes per load. Another note, if you use a fabric softener you have to clean the lint trap because of the chemicals in the fabric softener your lint trap will become water proof. My wife heard about it on the news and sure enough water would not pass through it until I had cleaned it. So we no longer use fabric softener.
