My clothes have been getting ripped and I can not figure why. The washer and dryer are new front loading machines. At first I thought my husband or one of the kids did something to rip my couple of shirts, then it became more frequent. Our family has lost several shirts, a pair of pants with these weird twisted rips. And it dawned on me! What if it is the Bounce Bar. I took it out so now I will wait and see. I hope the problem is now solved. We have lost many nice pieces of clothing…:(

We tried this out. There are sharp points on the plastic. We noticed it tore our clothing. Then when we removed it we couldn’t get all of the glue off. Finally we thought the glue was all off. But even though we couldn’t see it when the dryer got hot it melted and ruined two loads of clothes before it was noticed. Really unsatisfied all the way around with this product.

DO NOT BUY!! I purchased this and when the bar ran out we could not remove the holder and it made holes in lots of our clothes. We have tried everything to remove this from our dryer and it will not come off. So I have to keep purchasing the refill or have holes in my clothes. I will be contacting Tide.

[...] love fresh laundry. Nothing gets me higher than the smell of awesome fabric softener or just clean laundry in general. [...]

I started out loving this product. I only do laundry on the weekends and after a month the bounce bar fell off and left huge bounce bar skid marks on the inside of my dryer and parts of the bar crumbled off. I’m so disappointed and sad because I really wanted this product to work.

I bought the Bounce Bar about 3 wks ago and loved it… It worked great, smelled great and the items came out soft…all of a sudden I realized the nice scent and softness was GONE after just a few cycles. Then 3 wks into using this bar, it FELL OFF while drying towels and wont stick back on… I have a front loader, followed the instuructions and it still fell off, I guess I will go back to the Gain Fresh towels… So, NO I DO NOT RECOMMED THE BOUNCE DRYER BAR… IT’S A WASTE OF MONEY…

I love the Bounce dryer bar and have been using it for some time. However, every once in a while I am finding yellow dots on some articles of clothing, mostly white t-shirts. Could this be caused by the dryer bar. And these yellow dots are impossible to remove, have used various stain removers. Has anyone else had this problem. A number of comments have mentioned soap chips/spots, but were they Yellow??

I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone. It didn’t control static as well as the dryer sheets and I have actually had some clothing hang up on it and it has ripped little holes in some of our clothes.

We’re also on our 3rd Bounce Dryer Bar and totally love it. No problems with it falling off, no problems with crumbling. I seriously freaking love it.

I am on my 3rd Bounce Dryer Bar, I love it. This is the second dryer I have used it on, still no trouble. I do wish that instead of being permanently stuck to my dryer, they would have used strong magnets, but all-in-all, I really love my Dryer Bar.
