Wool Dryer Balls
If you’re new to using dryer balls, keep an eye on your first load or two, as drying time will be noticeably shorter than you’re used to, and you don’t want to overdry (which causes static).Â
A note about static – To avoid static, your laundry should retain some humidity at the end of the drying cycle. Wool dryer balls reduce static by absorbing moisture at the beginning and releasing it as the cycle progresses, elevating the humidity level in the dryer. You can enhance this effectiveness, especially when drying synthetics, by spritzing the dyer balls with water before tossing them in. Due to their intensity, the laundry will dry faster than the wool dryer balls. If you use a moisture-sensitive setting, set the sensor on low to keep the dryer from continuing to detect the moisture level of the dryer balls once the clothes have dried.Â
To elevate the sensory experience, add a splash of L’Avant’s Fresh Linen Laundry Oil to the dryer balls near the end of the cycle.Â
Care instructions:Â
To keep them working their best, periodically recharge your wool dryer balls (every 100 loads or so) to rehydrate them and remove accumulated lint and fibers. Place in a mesh bag or just toss them freely in with a few towels or other items on the gentle wash cycle using hot water. Dry using high heat. When they’ve outlived their usefulness, add them to your compost bin or plant them in your garden soil.
Biodegradable and compostable (check your local compost rules and regulations)
