Know before you buy
For optimal results, we recommend using three to six dryer balls per load. This quantity allows for better airflow and more effective separation of your laundry, which helps reduce drying time and static.
Yes, you can add a few drops of essential oil to the balls. To prevent staining, let the oil soak into the wool for a few minutes before tossing them into the dryer, and avoid placing them directly on top of wet clothes.
Unlike single-use dryer sheets that rely on synthetic chemicals and fragrances, these wool balls are a sustainable, reusable alternative. They soften fabrics and reduce static naturally through mechanical action rather than chemical coating.
These dryer balls are made from soft, high-quality New Zealand wool and are generally safe for most fabrics. However, as with any dryer accessory, we recommend using a mesh laundry bag if you are drying particularly delicate or loose-knit garments.
These dryer balls are designed to last for over 1,000 loads. You will know they have reached the end of their lifespan when they begin to unravel, lose their shape significantly, or become noticeably thin.
Yes, these are made from 100% natural New Zealand wool without any synthetic fillers, dyes, or harsh chemicals. They are an excellent choice for those who want to avoid the artificial fragrances and chemical residues found in conventional dryer sheets.
