Natural felted wool allows you to soften clothes in one of the most natural ways possible. This set includes six handmade balls that will take the place of liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets. Avoid harmful chemicals and toxic substances, but get the same results. When you place these wool dryer balls in with a load of laundry, they will tumble around to soften fabrics, reduce wrinkles, eliminate static and shorten drying times. With the addition of some essential oil, you can even add fragrance without relying on irritating perfumes. Use three or four when drying a small load, or use all six for medium and large loads. For anything bigger, using more than six will produce the best results. They are totally reusable, and they actually increase in ability over time. As pilling starts to occur, the little nubs will help massage clothing to remove loose lint, and make it softer. Due to the separation that occurs as they mix with your clothes, air will flow more efficiently, so everything will dry in less time. Stop wasting money on risky products, and switch to an alternative that performs as well, but leaves you with nothing to worry about.
