Ditch the toxic dryer sheets and switch them for something natural and chemical free! Wool dryer balls dry and soften your clothes faster, without using chemically loaded dryer sheets or fabric softener.
Fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain petroleum-based toxins and unnatural fragrances. The toxic ingredients in these products may cause harm to the skin, and their synthetic fragrances could be a trigger for allergic reactions. Not to mention, the ingredients found in chemical softeners and dryer sheets are not environmentally friendly and can be quite harmful.
If you haven’t switched out your dryer sheets yet, why should you?
Normally, fabric sticks together in the dryer, which slows down the drying process. When you add the dryer balls to your load of laundry, the balls will continually lift and separate the pieces in your tumble dryer to prevent bunching and clinging. They will move quietly and transfer heat evenly throughout your clothes, leaving them soft and dry.
Another reason why you will LOVE wool dryer balls is because you can use them to infuse your laundry with essential oils! These wool balls are incredibly absorbent, which not only helps with your drying cycle, but they also absorb the essential oils you want to naturally freshen your laundry with! By infusing the dryer balls with your essential oils, you will eliminate the need for synthetic fragrances in your laundry and maximize the aromatic properties of your essential oils for a wonderfully wearable, aromatic experience!
A few of our favorite oils to use with our dryer balls are Purification®, Thieves®, Citrus Fresh™, Pine, and Lemon!
