One product I gave up years ago, even before I knew anything about essential oils was dryer sheets. Although there are many alternatives to fabric softener with many different fragrances, I was not interested in embedding a chemical scent into my clothing. Using essential oils on dryer balls is more efficient and easier on the pocket book.
What are dryer balls?
Dryer balls are made from 100% wool and are a great alternative to dryer sheets. You can purchase them already felted or you can make them yourself.
What are the benefits to using wool dryer balls?
- Cut your drying time in half
- Help reduce static
- Save you money on your energy bill
- Chemical-free
- Can be reused over and over again (I just pop mine in the washer from time to time)
- Increase the fluffiness of your clothes
- Safe to use with cloth diapers and baby clothing
I lightly scent my dryer balls with essential oils. I add about 2-4 drops to 3 dryer balls and that lasts 2-4 loads of laundry. Here are some of my favorites but that is the fun part, you can create your own combinations.
- Purifying blend
- Lavender
- Calming Blend
- White Fir
- Wild Orange
What a great holiday gift…a set of all natural 100% wool dryer balls with your favorite essential oil.
