Description

These non-toxic, cruelty-free natural sheep's wool dryer balls cuts down drying time saving time and energy by soaking up the water at the beginning of the drying cycle to quickly dry the clothes and then release some of the moisture back into the clothes to prevent wrinkles! In addition to softening your clothes, wool is naturally antibacterial to add an extra germ eliminating step in your laundry process!
PRO TIP: you can add a few drops of essential oils to the balls and have your laundry smelling fresh and heavenly. These balls will typically last for 1,000 loads of laundry (or 2-3 years of use).

I was skeptical about the usefulness of these wool balls even though I’d read a lot of great things about them. Well, I am no longer a skeptic, and I’m back here to tell you that these little gems were one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I can confidently confirm that they reduce drying time significantly (I use 2 balls at a time for large loads). And after a year and a half, the balls are still going strong and barely show any wear.
Wool balls in the dryer is an ingenious discovery. I own a large capacity HE dryer, and even with towels and heavier items, the max time it takes for a full load on med heat is 40 minutes with two wool balls. This saves me money and conserves energy. And since I use the unscented laundry strips (also sold by BoHoS), I like to add a few drops of essential oil to the wool balls every 2 to 3 loads, which has my family's clothes smelling fresh. After 16 uses, the balls still look new. The investment is well worth the savings you'll see on your utility bill.
