Susie-34668's Full Review: Procter & Gamble Bounce Dryer Bar Outdoor Fresh 2 ...
Update 11/26/2009
I still had half of my Bounce Dryer Bar in the drum of my dryer and I heard this banging noise. It had come unstuck. I re-stuck it several times, and today it crumbled and ended up in pieces. It went all over my dark clothes so I had to washed them again.
I was lucky enough to get a free Bounce Dryer Bar, as a sample, in the mail. It was the full-size version and lasts for about 2 months.
I opened up the large envelope and the Bounce Dryer Bar was in a orange and yellow box. It states on it "New". It says to 'Stick it and forget it'.
I opened up the top of the package and pulled out the dryer bar. It has a really strong smell and the fragrance is 'Outdoor Fresh'. The Bounce fabric softener bar is 45g (1.59 ounces) plus the holder.
I read the instructions on the back of the package and it is very simple to use. All you have to do is take off the backing paper, and then press the Bounce Dryer Bar onto the inside drum of the dryer. That is it.
I have done several loads of washing including a white wash, which had a hot, long dry, and delicates, that had a warm dry. Everything came out as good as using a regular dryer sheet. The clothing smelled fresh and fluffy.
I have now had the Bounce Dryer Bar for two weeks and have done around 12 machine loads of washing and drying. I have just put some washed items in the dryer and closed the door. I don't have to worry about putting a dryer sheet in, or removing it afterwards.
I remember one time putting on a pair of trousers, going out, and the dryer sheet falling out off one of the legs, of the trousers. This will never happen again with the new product.
I really do like the idea of having a product that you can forget about for a couple of months, and have your dried clothes smelling fresh, be free from static, and feeling soft. I read on the package that the dryer bar, which is on the holder, will eventually wear down and it will show the word replace.
The diagram shows new, after many uses, empty, remove old bar, and insert new bar. This looks really easy to do.
Whenever I open the dryer to add clothes, the Bounce Dryer Bar smell is extremely strong. I am not sure as it gets into the second month, whether the smell will decrease.
As there are only two of us in our household, I am thinking that this may last longer than two months. This would be good because the cost of the 2 month package runs around $5.50 and the 4 months $9.50. I will be looking out for coupons and special offers prior to it running out.
Taken from the Bounce website:
"Dryer Bar technology has actually been used for years. Dryer bars are used in hotels and other places where large quantities of laundry are done daily. Now with the Bounce Dryer Bar, you can bring this technology home and move one step closer to automatic laundry ease."

I still have half a box of Bounce Dryer sheets so I have put them in my clothes drawers, so that the fresh smell of Bounce won't be wasted, and my clothes will smell even better. In this household we don't waste.
