Dryer Balls

Dryer Wool Balls are reusable laundry aids made from 100% natural wool, specifically designed for tumble dryers. They work by tumbling continuously during the drying cycle, which helps separate laundry to improve hot air circulation. Simultaneously, the wool fibers absorb and release moisture, reducing drying time by 15-30%. Key benefits include naturally softening fabric fibers, reducing static cling and wrinkles. They serve as a complete replacement for traditional chemical fabric softeners and disposable dryer sheets, offering an eco-friendly, additive-free laundry solution. Primarily targeted at health and environmentally-conscious households, they are especially popular with families with infants/young children, individuals with sensitive skin, and advocates of sustainable living. Mainstream products are typically sold in sets of 3-6 balls. The primary material is New Zealand Merino wool, with some variants incorporating essential oils for added fragrance. Recent years have also seen fun design variations, such as animal shapes. The standard lifespan is approximately 2-3 years, with a significantly lower cost per use compared to chemical softening products.
