    I use a sheet of bounce. I guess not very OS, but stops all static and smells good! I only use my TD about once a month, so the sheets are not expensive for me

    I've seen those balls, mean't to work well but never tried them myself, would be interested if anyone knows where they are cheaper than £9.99 aswell. The only thing that put me off. They also state can't be used in combination washer dryers, which is why my sister didn't buy them.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
