Know before you buy
For optimal results, we recommend using at least three balls for a standard load. If you are drying a large load of heavy items like towels or bedding, using six balls will help improve airflow and further reduce drying time.
No, these balls are tightly hand-felted to prevent shedding. Because they are made from 100% New Zealand wool, they are durable and will not leave lint or residue on your garments.
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 soak in for a few minutes to avoid direct contact with wet clothes, which prevents potential spotting.
The balls work by physically separating your laundry as it tumbles. This increased airflow allows the hot air to circulate more efficiently through the fabrics, which can cut your drying time by up to 25%.
Yes, these dryer balls are hypoallergenic, chemical-free, and azo-free. They are a great alternative to conventional dryer sheets, which often contain synthetic fragrances and chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin.
With a lifespan of over 1,000 loads, these balls are incredibly durable. You will know it is time to replace them when they begin to look significantly worn, unravel, or lose their structural integrity after years of consistent use.
