3 Pack of LooHoo Wool Dryer Balls

Wool is used because of its incredible properties including the ability to:

help reduce static – wool fibers can absorb static cling

naturally soften clothes – friction of the balls against the fabric

makes clothes fresher and smell cleaner – since wool has the ability to absorb toxins and odors

A wool dryer ball is a felted ball of wool that you use in your clothes dryer to help separate your clothes. Having several in your dryer creates a constant motion that allows for more air to circulate around your wet laundry so your clothes will dry faster. The more dryer balls you use, the less time it takes to dry a load and you can reduce your dry time by 10%–25%. Wool dryer balls are absolutely ideal for any and all laundry, both personal and business, and are an essential asset to help reduce dry time, conserve energy and save you money. All LooHoo wool dryer balls are made individually by hand using 100% local, lanolin-rich wool. They are a safe, durable, high-quality wool dryer ball crafted in midcoast Maine.

Each one is approximately the size of a tennis ball, ~ 9 inches in circumference and weighs ~ 2oz. 3 balls are ideal for small to medium loads in apartment or regular-size dryers. 5-6 balls are ideal for medium to large loads in regular, home-size dryer. After months of constant use, they show some signs of wear and will still last a long time. We suggest replacing your LooHoo dryer balls every 1 to 1.5 years. Available in assorted bright colors such as turquoise, orange, purple, green, blue & yellow. Made in the USA. (shipping weight 1 lb)

Dryer sheets and fabric softeners are harmful to you and your family:

Both dryer sheets and fabric softeners contain a long list of dangerous and toxic petrochemicals including more than one carcinogen, ethanol – which is on the EPA Hazardous Waste List, and other toxins linked to respiratory problems, central nervous system disorders, nausea, headaches, and skin irritants.

The chemicals are designed to stay in the fabric of your clothing for a long time and slowly release. Therefore the toxins stay with you and your family. They rub and absorb into your skin and are inhaled into lungs continually.

Dryer sheets and fabric softeners are harmful to environment:

A dryer sheet takes years to breakdown in landfills

The toxins within these products get heated up in your dryer which releases the chemicals into your home and out into the environment through your dryer vent (A guest column in a local paper was about how the writer went outside to enjoy cooking a barbeque and couldn’t since she was so bombarded by the smells and chemicals that were coming out several of her neighbor’s dryer vents)

Luckily, there are alternatives:

Add white vinegar and or baking soda to the washing machine can freshen clothes and reduce static

Using several wool dryer balls in every dryer load will help soften your clothes, and reduce your dry time
