Tennis Balls can help your clothes dryer work better.

Check out this "life hack" - putting tennis balls in your dryer to speed up and fluff up the laundry. Just toss a few in the dryer. Lifehacker notes some dissent in the idea, though, from "The Laundry Alternative" website:

"Some manufacturers recommend putting new tennis balls in the dryer to keep the down from clumping. However, the Soap and Detergent Association does not recommend this practice. The neon dye on the tennis ball could transfer to the down-filled item, or the tennis ball might not be able to withstand the heat. To avoid clumping, it is safer to periodically remove the item and shake vigorously. Adding clean, dry towels to the dryer load can also help."
