Using Wool Dryer Balls

Did you know adding Wool Dryer Balls to your laundry comes with several benefits? We now sell Wool Dryer Balls from Common Good, made from 100% pure felted New Zealand Wool, these dryer balls make a fantastic, eco-friendly addition to your daily laundry routine. Follow along as we cover the top 10 advantages of using wool dryer balls:

1. Reduces Drying Time

Wool dryer balls help separate laundry and allow air to better circulate. This reduces drying time by up to 25%, saving energy and time. Shorter drying times can prolong the life of your laundry by reducing exposure to heat.

2. Eco Friendly Alternative to Dryer Sheets

They’re reusable, making them a sustainable alternative to single-use dryer sheets. This reduces household waste and eliminates exposure to synthetic chemicals that are often found in commercial dryer products.

3. Perfect for Drying Bulky Items

Dryer balls are particularly helpful when drying bulky items like towels, comforters, and blankets. They prevent large items from bunching up and allow them to dry more evenly, which helps reduce damp spots.

4. Reduces Static Cling

Dryer balls absorb moisture-maintaining a higher humidity level in the dryer. This moisture helps reduce static electricity, and your items from clinging together. For extra static reduction, mist the balls with water before.

5. Repels Pet Hair 

Wool naturally attracts and lifts pet hair from clothes and bedding, helping to remove it as it tumbles in the dryer. This is a huge plus for pet owners, reducing the amount of hair that sticks to fabrics.

6. Softens Laundry Naturally

By tumbling against fabrics, dryer balls naturally soften clothes, towels, and bedding without the need for chemical-laden fabric softeners or dryer sheets.

7. Ideal for Sensitive Skin 

With no added chemicals or fragrances, wool dryer balls are hypoallergenic and safe for anyone with sensitive skin, or allergies. They provide the softness and anti-static benefits of dryer sheets without potential irritants.

8. Add a Natural Fragrance if You Choose

You can add a few drops of essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or lemon to each dryer ball before tossing them in with your laundry. This is a great way to get  a gentle, natural fragrance that isn’t overpowering or artificial.

9. Prolongs the Life of Your Dryer

By reducing drying time, dryer balls help minimize wear and tear on your dryer. This makes the appliance more efficient and extends its lifespan.

10. Biodegradable & Compostable

When the dryer balls eventually wear out, they are biodegradable and compostable, meaning they won’t contribute to landfill waste. This adds to their eco-friendly appeal as a fully natural, zero-waste product.

In conclusion, using wool dryer balls allows you to save energy, reduce waste, and enjoy naturally softened and fresh-smelling laundry. These reusable, versatile, and eco-friendly alternatives to dryer sheets are a smart choice for anyone looking to make their laundry routine greener and more effective.
