I have a very high utility bill and I believe the problem is in my washer and dryer. Since we need to use the washer/dryer everyday and our dryer is running an hour per day. It will be good if we can cut it down and save some money.

After some searches, here is what I find — “Amazing Dryer Balls”

Then I wonder whether it will work. More searching… Here is the reviewer (http://www.komotv.com/does_it_work/story.asp?ID=39937) says:

Tish’s verdict in the simplest terms? “Thumbs up”, she said. “Thumbs up.”

Another review (http://www.kltv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4406388&nav=menu117_3_5 ) and they say:

“Does It Work?” We give the Dryer Balls a “yes.”

As for the energy savings, let’s take an average family. If you dry six, 30 minute loads of laundry a week, that costs you about 100 dollars a year, just for the dryer. Cut that drying time by 10 percent, or down to 27 minutes, and you’re saving 10 dollars a year, plus about 25 dollars a year in dryer sheets. For the year, that totals a 35 dollar savings per year. The balls last two years, so the highest value we can put on them is about 70 dollars over two years for an average family.

Another review (http://cbs13.com/buyandtry/local_story_202233307.html):

“You’d probably save in the long run, it works about the same.”

So our testers give the dryer ball a green light. Only problem now, keeping the kids from playing with.

So I rushed out and brought this from Walgreen yesterday for 9.99$. In fact, you can get it a lot cheaper from Amazon.com.

I think you will like it too.
