Know before you buy
The balls work by physically separating your clothes as they tumble, which improves airflow and heat circulation within the dryer. This increased efficiency allows moisture to evaporate faster, typically reducing total drying time.
For optimal performance, we recommend using three to six balls per load. Using a higher quantity helps ensure better separation of fabrics, especially in larger loads or with heavy items like towels and bedding.
Because these are made from high-quality, felted New Zealand wool, they are designed to be durable and shed very little. You should not notice any lint or residue on your clothes, even after repeated use.
Yes, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the balls before tossing them into the dryer. Allow the oil to absorb into the wool for a few minutes to prevent direct contact with wet fabric, which helps avoid potential staining.
These balls are designed to last for over 1,000 loads. You will know it is time to replace them when they begin to look significantly worn, unravel, or lose their dense, felted shape.
Yes, they are safe for all machine-dryable fabrics, including delicates and synthetic blends. Since they are chemical-free and dye-free, they are a gentle alternative to synthetic dryer sheets for your entire wardrobe.
