8 Benefits Of Using Wool Dryer Balls

Hola Chicas!

Have you ever heard of “Wool Dryer Balls”? To be honest with you I really hadn’t until about a yr ago. And even then, I had just seen them hanging in an aisle of Walmart and I thought to myself, “another gimmick”, and went strolling on by.

We have always used dryer sheets and have always been content with them. They can be a little pricey when you have a huge family like ours, but hey we want our laundry feeling soft right! So using dryer sheets was they way it was in our household and we never really questioned it. Until one day about 3 months ago when my daughter Lily sent me a video on these Wool Dryer Balls.

You see, we are always trying to reduce, reuse and recycle in our home. Especially my daughter Lily, it is something that weighs heavy on her heart! With that said, she is always coming to me with these videos on ways we can be more eco-friendly. We have tried sustainable toothbrushes and sponges because of her and she even purchased a more sustainable razor blade and soap savor bag for her birthday. I absolutely could not be prouder of her for being more self-conscious to protecting our eco system and I always encourage her, so when she came to me about the wool dryer balls, of course I had to say yes to trying them out.

Benefits Of Using Wool Dryer Balls

Not everything we try out makes into our home as a staple. But let me tell you these sure did. There is nothing but benefits on benefits when it comes to using these bad boys, and I have listed the 8 Benefits, I found in using wool dryer balls, below just for you.

1.) NO Chemicals

One of my top reasons to continue using wool dryer balls over dryer sheets or fabric softeners is………There are NO Chemicals in wool dryer balls, where as most dryer softeners and dryer sheets are full of them!!!!!

2.) Decreased Drying Time

Wool dryer balls are more absorbent than dryer sheets and so can reduce drying time by 10-25%. Dryer balls also allow hot air to circulate through out your linens because they separate them better during the drying process, than dryer sheets.

3.) Softens Fabric Naturally

Wool dryer balls agitate your linens while tumbling through your dry cycle, leaving them soft to the touch.

4.) Eco-Friendly

100% organic wool dryer balls are not only Eco-Friendly due to the fact that they cut down on your drying time (which is one of the biggest energy consuming duties in the house) but they are also non-toxic, hypoallergenic and sustainably produced! Can we say WIN WIN WIN!

5.) Eliminates Static

Wool dryer balls absorb humidity at the beginning or your drying cycle and then release it during the end of the drying cycle, thus helping to eliminate static electricity.

6.) Non-Damaging

The chemicals and products made into dryer sheets are released during the drying process. When they are released they cling your linens, which can leave them less-absorbent and less flame resistant. Not only do those chemicals and products cling to your linens but they can also leave a residue on your lint filter thus reducing air circulation, as well as other electronic complications the residue can potentially cause.

7.) Saves Money

Wool dryer balls not only save you money by cutting down on your dryer time, but they are definitely more inexpensive per load cycle than dryer sheets. I paid about $20 for 6 dryer balls that will last me 1000 uses. I used to pay $9 for dryer sheets that lasted me 240 uses. Times that by 4 to equal close 1000. I was paying $36 for less than 1000 (960) uses in dryer sheets. So for every 4 times I purchased dryer sheets compared to my usage using wool dryer balls, I saved $16 dollars. Now for a large family like mine, that definitely adds up.

8.) Fragrance Free

Many fragrances added to products can be human made, which can cause a slew of skin reactions and be harmful to the environment. Wool dryer balls allow you to stay fragrant free or add fragrance with your own favorite essential oils. So, it is a win win for everyone and everything.
