Know before you buy
As the balls tumble in the dryer, they physically separate your clothes, allowing hot air to circulate more efficiently between garments. This increased airflow helps moisture evaporate faster, which can shorten your overall drying cycle.
Yes, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil directly onto the wool balls. Let the oil absorb for a few minutes before tossing them into the dryer to ensure the scent distributes evenly without staining your fabrics.
For optimal performance, we recommend using at least three balls per load. If you are drying a particularly large or heavy load, such as towels or bedding, using six balls will provide better separation and faster drying results.
These balls are designed to last for up to 1,000 loads. You will know it is time to replace them when they begin to look significantly frayed, lose their structural integrity, or no longer effectively reduce static.
Yes, 100% wool dryer balls are safe for all fabric types, including delicates and synthetic blends. Because they are chemical-free, they are also a gentle, hypoallergenic choice for households with sensitive skin.
