WOOL DRYER BALLS

Updated: Dec 22, 2022

If you've never used Wool Dryer Balls, Here are 6 SURPRISING BENEFITS OF WOOL DRYER BALLS

In case you’ve never heard of them, wool dryer balls are roughly softball-sized balls of condensed wool that you use when machine drying your clothes. They are an effective, eco-friendly alternative to softener or dryer sheets. It’s baffling how liquid fabric softener and synthetic dryer sheets managed to take over the market. Wool dryer balls are 100% natural, non-toxic, and have these great benefits:

1. FASTER DRYING TIME Using wool balls means your laundry gets dry up to 25% faster. This is partially because the wool can absorb some of the excess moisture. But it’s also because the balls move around throughout your laundry, creating space between the fabrics and improving the airflow. If you do a lot of laundry, this is a serious advantage. Side Advantage: you can choose how many you want to add to each load. For an average load, you’ll typically want 3-4 dryer balls. But for large loads or faster drying times, try adding 6 wool balls. An added benefit of faster drying time is that you’ll save energy (and money on your electric bill)! 2. ELIMINATE STATIC NATURALLY Usually when your laundry spins around in the dryer, it does so in a big clump. The different fabrics cling together and creates a static charge. Wool dryer balls work by tumbling around and physically keeping your clothes separate. This prevents the static from being created. 3. FRAGRANCE-FREE One underrated benefit of wool dryer balls is that they are fragrance-free. This means they are a great choice for those who struggle with allergies or asthma, or are prone to migraines. If you’re sensitive to artificial fragrances, dryer balls are the solution. If you like fragrances and feel you would miss the fresh scent on your sheets or clean clothes, you can always add a few drops of essential oil to the wool balls for a gentle, natural scent. 4. ECO-FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE Of course one of our favorite benefits of wool dryer balls is that they are a reusable, renewable, all-natural resource. Your wool balls can be used up to 1000 times, which means even if you do a load of laundry every single day, they would last you almost three years! After that, they are completely biodegradable. 5. NON-TOXIC, NATURAL FABRIC SOFTENER Dryer balls are a non-toxic, natural fabric softener. As dryer balls bounce around in the dryer, they soften the fibers in your clothes. This tumbling around also helps prevent wrinkles because it keeps your clothes from getting pinned to the side and creasing. 6. QUIETER THAN OTHER TYPES OF DRYER BALL There are many options for dryer balls. Some places sell plastic versions, and some people just use tennis balls. The thing about plastic dryer balls is umm… they’re plastic and noisy. Wool dryer balls are quiet.
