Dryer balls can be eco-friendly and effective! Dryer balls can soften and improve drying time. There are many different types of dryer balls, but if money is no object we recommend 100% wool dryer balls. Dryer balls made of wool are the most popular of the dryer balls we have seen. Dryer balls are considered more eco-friendly when compared to dryer sheets. You are able to reduce static, fluff and soften as well as reduce drying time with dryer balls.
A few drops of essential oil on your dryer balls will also add a bit of fragrance to your laundry. If using essential oil, be sure to apply your essential oil at least 8-10 hours before use to allow the oil to seep into the wool and not leave trace oil on your garments. I personally love Young Living Peace and Calming essential oil on my dryer balls. I place place a drop or two on each dryer ball and let sit overnight.
Pick up some dryer balls and see what you think. They are an effective eco-friendly alternative to single-use dryer sheets.
