Wool dryer balls last for thousands of laundry loads & save money on utilities by shaving off up to 25% of overall drying time.  They work like dryer sheets to remove wrinkles and static, yet they contain none of the harmful chemicals found in dryer sheets.  Often made in New Zealand, these organic balls are 100% natural wool, hypoallergenic, and unscented.  Simply place 6 wool dryer balls inside your dryer and you’re ready to go!

It is not necessary to wash wool dryer balls.  Each time you do a load of laundry, they will be washed for you.  They will bounce around in your drier, weaving their way into your clothes to speed up the cycle.  In addition, one of the unexpected benefits of dryer balls is laughter. These balls can sometimes bounce on the floor or be found hiding inside an item of your clothing, which is entertaining.  You will find them turn up in unexpected places, which will make laundry time a little more entertaining than usual.  Pets will chase them, and you might find yourself getting more exercise around the house as you round them up.  Saving hundreds of dollars on fabric softener and dryer sheets is also sure to bring a smile.

Single-use dryer sheets are made of a thin type of polyester which is not recyclable.  They contain a compound called surfactant, which heats up in the dryer and coats clothing to aid in removing static.  Dryer sheets commonly come scented and some of these scents are known to contain carcinogens.  You only need to purchase wool dryer balls once every 3-5 years, which is much cheaper than eco alternatives made from unbleached paper.

Tips:  Lastly, missing the scent of your favorite fabric softener or dryer sheets? Try adding a few drops of essential oil to your laundry load or sprinkle onto drier balls.  Popular scents are lavender, lemon, mint, rosemary & eucalyptus!
