Haven't tried them, but what I don't understand is the 2-in-1 concept. If I use a liquid softner, I certainly don't use a dryer sheet. If i'm using dryer sheets, I certainly don't use a liquid softner. I have also recently found that if I use Liquid detergent, and throwing things in the dryer, I don't need any type of softner.

I can only imagine how badly these would bung up dryer ductwork!

I bet these will be a huge hit! I can't tell you the number of people I see at the laundromat that use both liquid FS and dryer sheets!!!

Something Tells Me...
...That these will coat a dryer's drum and filter even worse than regular dryer sheets, which are already pretty ruinous. When I got my pair of centre-dial 'Tags, one of the major problems I had to tackle was a horrible grey coating inside the dryer drum and the inside of the dryer door, from years of dryer sheets. It took very hard work to get the coating - and the sicky-sweet smell - off of everything.
Dryer-sheet residue had even built up on the filter, making its nylon mesh hard and brittle. That caused the filter to develop a big hole in it, which the dryer had blown - you guessed it - a couple of dryer sheets through, sending them into the dryer's ductwork, just a'waitin' to cause a fire. Fortunately, I discovered all this in time, and it was easy enough to correct.
Did I mention I hate dryer sheets? ;-)
P.S.: What really puzzled me about all this was that the washer (an LA 108) has Maytag's simple, reliable, foolproof softener dispenser built into the agitator, making it not only possible, but easy, to use liquid softener, which is cheaper than dryer sheets. I don't understand some people...

Vinegar
There was a post a while back about being cautious using vinegar in modern front loaders, but I can't remember what it was all about. Anyone else remember this?

Vinegar
Is an acid, a mild one but an acid none the less.
Too much might do some damage to sensors and such inside some front loaders, especially those between the tubs.
Anti-scale and even laundry "souring" products have a buffered pH levels.
