Know before you buy
For optimal results, we recommend using all six balls in a single load. This ensures maximum airflow and separation between garments, which is key to reducing drying time and static.
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 for a few minutes so it doesn't leave spots on your clothes.
No, these balls are safe for all fabric types, including delicates. The soft, handcrafted wool texture is designed to massage fabrics gently rather than abrade them.
Each set is designed to last for hundreds of laundry loads. You will know it is time to replace them when the balls begin to lose their shape or show significant signs of wear.
Maintenance is minimal. Simply leave them out to air dry between uses or store them in a breathable container to ensure they stay fresh and ready for your next load.
Yes, they are a great alternative to traditional dryer sheets. Because they are made from 100% natural wool and contain no synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals, they are hypoallergenic and safe for those with sensitivities.
