THE PROBLEM WITH DRYER SHEETS

Out of all the gallons of toxic household cleaning products in your home, dryer sheets are considered to be one of the most toxic. Dryer sheets add many toxic chemicals to your body and laundry. Just to name a few

Alpha-Terpineol: can cause headaches, respiratory problems, and central nervous damage.

Limonene: A carcinogen that irritates eyes and skin.

Camphor: Easily absorbed through the skin causes Center nervous disorders.

Chloroform: A carcinogenic neuro toxin.

Benzyl acetate: Linked to pancreatic cancer.

WHY WOOL INSTEAD OF OTHER DRYER BALL?

OK now we know why dryer sheets are bad, but why can we not use other dryer balls? Tennis balls as well as the plastic PVC balls will coat your laundry with chemical scents from the commercial products the are made with. When heated plastic releases all sorts of awful chemicals. Not only will these left behind chemicals leave an unappealing smell. For obvious reason wearing clothing coated in chemicals is horrible for your skin as well. Wool dryer balls on the other hand are all natural and chemical-free.

REPLACE DRYER SHEETS WITH WOOL DRYER BALLS?

Wool balls not only do what your dryer sheets can, they also do more. They pull moisture directly out of your garments so you do not have to run your dryer quite as long. The higher number of dryer balls you have in each load, the shorter the drying time will be. Just one set of wool dryer balls, a set includes 6 balls, will guarantee you use for 1000 loads. Just like a dryer sheet minus all the chemicals dryer balls will reduce static and eliminate wrinkles. Made of 100% wool dryer balls are extremely durable and over time becomes more like "felt" softening loads of laundry.

HOW TO USE WOOL DRYER BALLS

Depending on the size of the load determines how many dryer balls to use. I normally use all 6 dryer balls, larger loads I'll use 8. The larger the load the more balls needed so they can circulate through the layers of clothes allowing warm air to more easily circulate between layers. Thus cutting drying times at least 25%. Saving you time and energy.
