Can you use these sheets in a Dryel bag? Or would it be better to use according to the directions?

You don't need a bag - that is the beauty of them - no crowding - no wrinkling! I love them. If you only have one or two items just cut the sheet - that's what I do!

It's better to use according to directions for one thing it takes less time then the dryel sheets that you use to put in a bag. I prefer the woolite cleaner it does not have as strong a smell as the dryel sheets.

I haven't tried using it in a Dryel bag. I use it according to the directions.

I use the dryer and they work fine. Line dry is great too and the sun exposure would help with stains.

Yes, but only by hand - instruction tag on inside of bag says "Do Not Wash - Wipe Off." I just use a very damp cloth. They cannot be put in a washing machine! However if bad stains, I can give detailed instructions on how to do this if needed. The by hand method works fine for me so far.

I have accidentally used dryer sheets with the cloths a few times, and they seemed fine. I think they perform best when air dried though.

NEVER put plastic of any kind in your dryer = it will melt and ruin your dryer drum and your clothes. I have used a fine washables or mesh laundry bag to dry my Dryel cleaning in the dryer and it works fine. The important thing is there needs to be enough room in the bag for the clothes to tumble so they get the benefit of the cleaning chemicals from the Dryel sheet. The Dryel Starter Kit should contain the bag, cleaning sheets, and pretreatment spray along with a backing pad for pre-treatment. I see that the newer version of Dryel 2x ultra will clean up to 24 items and I think it might not require the bag? (I've actually used Dryel in my dryer without a bag and haven't seen any problem but they don't recommend it.) I think the reason the bag is supplied/recommended is because when you put just a few things in the dryer they can get hung up on the flanges and end up a twisted wrinkled mess. Hence, enough space to tumble, not so much they bunch in a "corner." Or perhaps I don't have any idea what I'm talking about. ;D

I've never used them for that purpose. i would think so though the duration of life for the sheets may not be that long...

I would think that over time the waxy chemicals from the dryer sheets would build up on the balls and prevent them from being as effective. I use about a 1/4 cup vinegar in my washer and the dryer balls in dryer. I have no static and drying time is much less.

I don't know about the combo with dryer sheets as my whole point in getting the wool balls was to get rid of the dryer sheets so I have not used them together. Dryer sheets use toxic chemicals, or so I have heard. Yet, I also have not had that much of a static issue. My solution to that is to take the garment and give it a good cracking brisk shake. That usually gets rid of some of the static. Again, it is not like my clothes have had a lot of static since I made the switch which was many dryer loads ago. Get rid of those dryer sheets!

I suppose that would be your personal preference. If you feel you can turn them inside out and wash and dry them thoroughly, I suppose you may. However, I would be afraid of not getting the zipper completely clean to reseal to my satisfaction. The machine works great with fresh bags, and considering all they save, I feel they are very reasonable for my use. Hope this helps. May God bless you and you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!!

I've put mine in the dryer before. Although they really don't take long to air dry, a few hours, maybe overnight is generally all it takes. They're nice big laundry bags. I can fit 2-3 sweaters in mine.

Yes, but probably best not to dry them by machine. bad for most clothes anyways

The instructions tell you not to use them dry. I think it would be difficult and unproductive to use them dry. I throw them in the washer and dryer, hence they come out dry and wrinkled. They are great when used with moisture!

Yes, and I just did them in my new LG dryer on the correct setting, still wrinkled, but once you spread them out on the bed, they seem to relax (except for the top rim)Guess if we want the sheets our Mom's did for us, it is back to the ironing board as they are all cotton. I do however like the feel of them when in bed. (use little heat when drying)

Well, I never cleaned silk shirts using dryel, but I just read the directions re that. Said that "silks and rayons are discouraged due to possible water markings." Any other material is fine. You have to throw away the sheet you put in the bag to dry clean the clothes, but the bag can be used many times. You can clean as many as 3-5 items in the bag. Hang up afterwards to air. I like it.

You could use these for travel, but I think a mesh laundry bag would be best. That way if something is wet it won't get stale or moldy, and a mesh bag stores away easier.

That's how we use them. Works great, better with some sheets than with others.

I do hang king sheets on this dryer using the outside lines. They do not touch the ground but I only use one line per sheet so I can't spread the sheets out all the way. The sheets end up dry but wrinkled, but wrinkling doesn't bother me since I'm not a neat freak.
