Dear Readers: Many of us are now wearing cloth face masks to help prevent the spread of covid-19. — Pat B., The Villages, Fla.Dear Heloise: A wool dryer ball may begin to loosen up after many drying cycles. Readers, many consumers may prefer wool dryer balls instead of heavily perfumed liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
