Know before you buy
The balls work by physically separating your laundry as it tumbles. This increased airflow allows heat to circulate more efficiently between garments, which can cut your drying time by up to 50%.
Yes. These balls are made from 100% New Zealand wool and are completely free of the synthetic fragrances, dyes, and chemicals often found in traditional dryer sheets, making them a hypoallergenic choice.
For most standard loads, using all three balls included in the set is recommended to ensure optimal airflow and softening. For larger loads or bulky items like bedding, you may find that using more balls helps improve efficiency.
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 before starting the cycle to avoid direct contact with wet fabric.
These balls are designed to last for over 1,000 drying cycles. You will know they are nearing the end of their lifespan when they begin to unravel or lose their firm, spherical shape.
Yes, they help prevent static by keeping clothes separated and maintaining proper humidity levels within the dryer. If you still notice static, try slightly dampening the balls with water before starting the cycle or avoid over-drying your clothes.
