We know that hanging our laundry to dry is the best eco friendly choice...but, we all know that there are times when it is just not feasible. So, for those times when you use your dryer, here is your eco friendly alternative to those chemical filled dryer sheets. We all want soft clothes without the use of chemicals that can irritate our skin right? Well, look no further.
These dryer balls are handmade with 100% organic raw wool roving. Dryer balls made with roving are much more absorbent then their yarn counterparts, and being lighter make a lot less noise in your dryer! Over a period of months they will felt slightly denser, but won't ever be a "solid" ball.
They reduce static in your clothes while leaving them soft. The wool is 100% organic, and was cleaned without the use of harsh chemicals to strip the natural grease from the wool or to dissolve the vegetable matter. The wool was felted in the the most natural soap possible to keep chemicals out of your laundry and dryer, and each one is rolled by hand in a three step process. Pilling is natural, expected, and a bonus -- the more they pill the greater the surface area to help your clothing dry! If it bothers you, a quick shave or snip with some scissors will remedy the situation
They are a wonderful alternative to dryer sheets and even do more than a dryer sheet by pulling the moisture out of your clothes so you don’t have to run your dryer as long, saving you time, money, and the planet.
Your dryer balls will last you several years and will save you money because you only buy these once and will put an end to buying dryer sheets or liquid fabric softener.
Think about the savings on money and time and the reduction of waste! A win win win!!
How to use:
For small loads place 2-4 balls in the dryer along with your clothes and run the dryer. For larger loads you can use up to 12 balls. I personally have 8 balls in the dryer at all times.
*If the scent starts to fade or you are using unscented and want to add a scent, you can add 3-4 drops of essential oil directly on the balls at any time. Allow 15 minutes to dry before using.
