Norwex Dryer Balls - Product Review
SO DO NORWEX DRYER BALLS WORK?
Absolutely! But when it comes right down to it, you can use any brand of dryer balls you like as long as they are cylindrical in shape. The unique design of the Norwex Dryer Balls lift and separates the laundry while softening the fabrics. The round dryer balls that you normally see on the shelves simply bang and thump around in the dryer and are totally ineffective.
Norwex explains the concept of the cylindrical shape of the dryer balls as "creating a Centrifical force that lifts and separates clothes, allowing air to flow more efficiently and reducing drying time. My colleagues claim that using dryer balls reduces the drying time of a load of laundry by 25 percent. I've found the number to be more around 15 percent. Basically, I tell my customers that if they still have static using the dryer balls that they are drying their clothes for too long.
The real bonus of using dryer balls is getting rid of both the fabric softener and dryer sheets permanently. Not only are they expensive to buy, but these are two of the most toxic chemicals you will find in your household. Click here to read more.
The dryer balls are non-toxic, allergy-free and safe on all fabrics. Because they lift and separate the clothes during drying, they soften and require less ironing. In areas with cold winters the dryer balls have to removed from the dryer after each load as the cold air from the outside vent
could crack them. They can, however, remain in the dryer from spring to fall.
For best results, use with Norwex Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent. It is highly concentrated and uses only 2 tablespoons a load for a top-loading washer and 1/2 tsp. for a front-loading washer! If used with the Norwex Magnet Ball, you use only 1 tablespoon for a top-load washer.
Unfortunately, you can't use the magnet ball in the HE washers - it's too heavy. Of course, you could always use the door for a basketball hoop later! :-) back

Magnet Ball - Product Review
By softening the water, the premise is that you will save money on detergent in your dishwasher and washing machine because you can use 50% less soap.
I haven't been able to find any scientific information that will confirm the claim that Norwex makes but from personal experience, I can tell you that it does work. I live in the city and supposedly have
treated water but still use the magnet ball. Approximately every 3 months I have to use the small end of a baby bottle brush to clean out the inside of the magnet ball. What gathers inside the ball is a hard black crust - definitely a mineral material attracted by the magnet.
For those outside of the urban areas without treated water, the magnet ball may provide some help; but the only way to truly soften the water is to have a water softener outside the house before the water enters the system. This runs true to "smelly cloths" as well. If your water is full of minerals, your Norwex cloths will smell the same as your old cloths did as it is your water that is causing it. They will need to be soaked in vinegar and then boiled for 10 - 15 minutes to get the smell out of them.
I firmly believe that Norwex is correct in their statements. I leave the Magnet Ball right in my washing machine and use 1/2 of a scoop of Norwex Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent. (Approximately 1 tablespoon) Our laundry has been done like this for over 2 years now and I am perfectly happy with the results. It has also driven the very toxic fabric softener out of our home.
The Magnet Ball is 6cm x 5cm x 5cm and carries a 5 yr. warranty
