how they work
Dryer balls bounce around in the dryer separating clothes, allowing more hot air to circulate through all the garments/linens. As they tumble, they act as a moisture wick, pulling moisture out of clothes. The wool soaks up moisture in your laundry and evenly distributes it into the air, helping your dryer stay humid longer, which reduces static cling. This action makes your clothes dry faster with fewer wrinkles.
dryer balls benefits
Dryer balls decrease drying time, saving you money on utility bills. They are also a chemical-free choice. Fabric softeners and dryer sheets are very costly, not reusable, and are filled with harmful chemicals and perfumes that coat your clothing and end up on your skin. BUT… Wool dryer balls are reusable and can last at least 5 years or longer! They are also made from a local renewable resource. Wool dryer balls won’t affect the absorbency of your bath towels or kitchen cloths and will increase fluffiness as they help to soften clothes naturally.
directions for use
Toss your set of wool dyer balls in with each load of laundry. You can scent your laundry with an essential oil by adding a few drops to each ball. Bounce them around in the dryer for a minute to make sure the oil has soaked in, then throw in your laundry. For more scenting, add several drops of essential oil to only one dryer ball, at the beginning of drying, but don’t put that ball in until the last 10 minutes of drying time using just the air setting. Following these methods will reduce risks of oil stains on fabrics. To refresh your dryer balls, put each ball in a nylon or clean sock and wash in hot water. Dry balls in with your regular laundry.
Please watch dryer balls around your pets. They find them Irresistible! They are safe to play with, but please watch so they do not ingest any wool.
