Frequently asked questions
What are wool dryer balls?

Wool dryer balls are a natural, reusable, and eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets. As they tumble with your laundry, they circulate air more efficiently and separate fabric layers, which can shorten drying time, reduce static, and soften clothes without added chemicals.
Why use wool dryer balls?

Wool dryer balls are a reusable, low-waste alternative to disposable dryer sheets. Many people use them to:

  • help shorten drying time

Should I avoid dryer sheets?

This depends on personal preference. Some reasons you might want to avoid dryer sheets include they:
