We just ran a piece on them on our blog. They are great and quite inexpensive more than half the price of Ecover. Their marketing isn’t all that great but the products appear to be.

I guess I’ll have to find me a plastic ball and/or static eliminator.

The only item of clothing that was a little static-y was a pair of fleece pajama pants – everything else has come out wonderfully. Hope you try them and have as good of luck as I have!

And yes, healthycookie, I have a sequined tube top. It only comes out on special occasions!

I haven’t run into that problem, though. Our clothes remain static-free with the Method sheets!

I’ll be using that quote. Once we had a baby and started thinking about all the toxins in laundry detergent, we switched the whole family over. For Carissa, they have these balls you can put in the dryer to do the same thing as dryer sheets, they’re plastic, but you can use them over and over forever. I haven’t tried them but I’ve heard good reviews. What I always did before we got rid of the dryer in favor of a clothesline, is you just take a small washcloth and pour a little bit, maybe a teaspoon, of liquid fabric softener on it and throw it in the dryer. Works great and that bottle of fabric softener will last for like 100 years using it that way.

They say you can even use them for more than one load, but even when I start with two new ones, the clothes still come out all static-y. Any suggestions?
