Natura reusable dryer cloths/sheets work! June 5, 2008

So, since the last post, I decided to go out to Home Hardware and purchase the “Natura” cloth dryer sheets that are supposed to eliminate static to see if they would be a good alternative to regular dryer sheets. As I said in my last post, I tried the ‘natural’ type with not very good results, I still had a lot of static. So far, after about 5 loads with the Natura cloths, there is very little static, even on the 100% polyester fleece stuff. I’m happy. I just wish they had a nice smell. Don’t get me wrong, everything smells clean and fresh when it comes out, I’m just used to the pretty perfume-y smells.

 

My homemade laundry detergent is working great as well, except it’s leaving a small amount of residue on the seals (it’s a front loader) so I’m now adding vinegar hoping that helps clear that out. As an aside, I HATE my washing machine. Don’t EVER get an LG! We’ve been having problems with grease stains, and now brownish stains showing up AFTER our clothes have been washed. I had a repair guy out (incidentally, to fix our LG dishwasher but got him to check out the washer too) and he’s pretty sure is the bearings and the seals, or something, and that it’s a super costly repair.

 

 I’m NOT happy and sure won’t be buying LG ever again, we’ve had problems with ALL of our 6 LG appliances (we bought them all to match) that are only 2 years old. So next month we’re budgeting for a cheaper washer, not as big, but it will have to do for now – I won’t repair the LG for the cost it’s not worth it, especially for the other problems we’ve been having, like the error codes that always show up. I did some searching online and I’m not the only one. Talk about frustrating!

 

We bought that washer because it was rated good at the time, only now do I see all the negative reviews. It’s all such a crapshoot, you can even do the research (which I did before we bought) and not know. We’ve had several new sets of appliances over the years (as well as some older ones the sellers left behind), nearly every time we’ve moved and we’ve never had to call a repair person, ever.

 

 So as you can see, LG has definitely NOT made our life good.

But those Natura sheets – quality product!
