Check out what happened to my new dryer

Seriously.

This is the Bounce fabric bar. I love(d) this bar. The Bounce (tide) Dryer Bar sticks in a little container and suctions to the inside of your dryer. It acts the same as a dryer sheet and you can buy one that lasts from 2 to 4 months. I  am very lazy about dryer sheets so this was a great solution for me. I was actually giddy about this product when I started using it and have probably recommended it to at least 20 family and friends the past few months.

Till now.

Recently we washed shoes and while they were drying, the shoes hit the bar, broke it into a thousand pieces, and left marks and pieces of  the dryer bar all over the entire thing. My poor innocent Affinity dryer is only 8 weeks old.

Sniff.

Surely Tide/Bounce does not expect people to only use soft clothing within their dryers. I bet shoes, backpacks, stuffed animals and slew of other household items get washed and dried on a daily basis. I am assuming eventually they will fade away? I don’t want to use a chemical inside my dryer and regular water is not doing much good on the waxy coating.

I think the concept is great and I used it for a few months before an incident. Unfortunately we wash more than just clothing in our dryer. All it took was one shoe to smack this baby into a million pieces.

Back to the drawing board, Tide!
