Promising review: "I’m not sure what kind of sorcery makes these things effective, but I’m not questioning it as long as it keeps my sheets from getting tangled in the washer and dryer. This has drastically cut down my laundry time. My king-size sheets used to end up in a soggy, twisted mess in both my front-load washer and dryer. Previously, I had to stop the dryer to untangle everything, but now I can just throw them in without a second thought. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first, but I was willing to give it a shot. After three successful washes and dries with Wad-Free, I bought two more sets for my parents. This is definitely going to be my go-to holiday gift for friends and family this December." —ZombieQT
