"UH OH!" Any time I hear those words on TV late at night, I know it's a good bet that this is going to be an infomercial. "UH OH, you spilled something....UH OH, your pet had an accident. UH OH, you broke a nail." Today there's an infomercial to fix all of life's "uh ohs."
And that now is true for the problem of pet hair and lint clinging stubbornly to your clothes. That's the "Uh Oh" that DRYER MAID hopes to fix.
DRYER MAID is this little round ball thing that you throw in with your clothes when they're in the dryer (I understand the "dryer" part of the name, but why "maid"? Are there maids whose primary job is to pull lint off of clothing?) The idea here is that pet hair does not want to come off of your clothes, no matter how many times it's washed. Likewise, some fabrics keep on holding onto lint even after multiple trips through the washer.
I've never bought the DRYER MAID yet, so I'll have to speculate about what happens after the ball is thrown into the dryer. Judging from the commercial, it seems that DRYER BALL must conjure up a little thunder storm inside your dryer and then it shoots bolts of lightning into all of your clothing. That lightning is somehow magical, because it forces the lint and hair off of your clothes into the lint trap. That, at least, is what I perceive to be the message from the commercial's use of animated lightning zapping your pants and shirts.
My sister actually does have a DRYER MAID and she says it works perfectly. "And," she reminded me, "as the commercial says, if you order from TV, you also get a lint brush."
But--I thought that if I used a DRYER BALL, I wouldn't need a lint brush. Strange...
