Know before you buy
For small to medium loads, the trio of three balls is sufficient. If you are drying a large load, such as heavy towels or bedding, it is recommended to use six balls to ensure proper airflow and efficiency.
No, these dryer balls are colorfast and use eco-friendly, azo-free dyes. They are designed to remain vibrant without transferring any color to your laundry.
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 fabrics.
The wool balls bounce between layers of clothing, which separates the items and improves air circulation within the dryer. This increased airflow allows moisture to evaporate faster, effectively shortening your drying cycle.
With regular use, a set of Friendsheep dryer balls will typically last for over 1,000 loads. Once they eventually wear out, they are 100% compostable and can be disposed of in your garden or compost bin.
Yes, these are made from 100% organic New Zealand wool and are free from the synthetic chemicals, fragrances, and plastic found in traditional dryer sheets. They are a hypoallergenic, chemical-free alternative for softening laundry.
