Balls of wool for your dryer… what do they do? Welcome to the world of Woollen Dryer Balls!
You may never have
heard of them, but they will soon become the greatest thing you never knew you
needed. Basically if you have and use a
dryer, you will want a bag of these little fluffy balls.
Dryer balls
save time and energy
Dryer balls are all
about reducing drying time, therefore cutting down on power use AND your
precious time.
A busy wet weekend and
the washing isn’t done, or your little darling has wet through their last dry
all-in-one, dryer balls are exactly the little helper you need to pump out those
extra loads.
Woollen dryer balls will be a
gamechanger to your laundry routine. As they bounce around in the dryer they increase
the flow of air and soak up excess moisture, cutting your drying time (up to
50%).
Woollen dryer balls are kinder to the
planet
As well as being a time saver, you
are also saving on energy bills and being kinder to the planet by reducing your
energy use, something we here at BABU are passionate about.
Using dryer balls regularly can
reduce a households annual energy consumption significantly. In particular, Woollen dryer balls are a more
natural choice, they are a naturally renewable resource, do not shed
microplastics and when they are worn out can simply be disposed of in your home
compost, where they will biodegrade naturally.
Choosing Woollen dryer balls helps to
keep more waste out of the land-fill.
Woollen dryer balls naturally soften
fabric and reduce static
Woollen dryer balls also naturally
soften clothing reducing the need for nasty chemical fabric softeners, their
presence in the dryer reduces static and can help remove pet hair and other
lint from laundry.
Being wool these dryer balls have the
added bonus of quiet operation. No harsh banging and or risk of damage to the
dryer or transfer of toxic residues from plastic-based products. These soft woollen balls will not cause
pilling to your precious linen and clothes.
How do you use Woollen dryer balls?
Simply pop in the dryer with your wet
laundry load, and enjoy reduced drying time.
Place
on the windowsill to air-dry between loads if needed or just store in the dryer
for your next load.
The
reduction in drying time will be dependent on what is in your laundry load,
what heat and cycle your machine is running, and how heavily the dryer is
loaded. You will learn quickly over a
few monitored loads how much to reduce your dryer timer by.
How long
do Woollen dryer balls last?
Woollen dryer balls can last up to
1000 washes (or 2-5 years depending on use).
Recharge
your dryer balls approx. every 100 washes by handwashing in warm (not hot)
water and placing in the dryer. It is
time to replace them when they start to look straggly and / or wool residue can
be found on clothes.
Worn
out balls can be composted or placed directly into the garden as wool acts as
great moisture retention for plants and will breakdown naturally.
