The reason why you should use wool dryer balls is to reduce static buildup as the wool dryer balls absorb the humidity at the start of your drying cycle.
Then the humidity that is absorbed at the start of the drying cycle is released at the end of the drying cycle.
Over drying your clothes and laundry leads to static buildup and humidity is key to getting rid of and preventing the static electricity in the laundry.
The use of wool dryer balls when drying your clothes or other laundry can help cut down on drying time and energy costs, allowing you to save money while still getting perfectly dried clothing and laundry.
Wool dryer balls separate laundry and clothes in the dryer, reducing drying time and absorbing moisture from clothes and laundry.
For the wool dryer balls to work properly you need a minimum of 3 wool laundry dryer balls for small to medium loads and five for medium to large loads and up to a dozen wool dryer balls for large to huge loads.
To recharge your wool dryer balls.
Toss the wool dryer balls in with a hot water wash cycle set to gentle.
Next, dry the freshly washed wool dryer balls on high heat, solo or with a load.
Now your revitalized wool dryer balls are ready for the dryer again.
You can also add your favorite essential oils to your wool dryer balls and let them go to work.
Some popular essential oil scents for wool dryer balls include orange, lavender, and eucalyptus.
Be sure to use pure essential oils, as most of them do not stain clothing.
You can also use wool dryer balls and dryer sheets together at the same time.
Wool dryer balls help your laundry dry faster, while dryer sheets infuse luxurious scents and add an extra layer of softness to your fabrics.
Not to mention they both fight static and reduce wrinkles.
Just toss them in together and when the dry cycle is done you'll be able to smell and feel the magic.
If you're still experiencing static in your clothes even after using wool dryer balls, there are a few potential reasons.
First make sure you're using a sufficient number of dryer balls.
Adding more balls can enhance their effectiveness.
Over-drying your clothes can also contribute to static cling, so try reducing the drying time.
