Eco Max Wool Dryer Ball

100% New Zealand Wool

Perfect for anyone wanting to reduce energy use, lower their laundry footprint and keep clothes feeling cosy-soft, naturally.

So how do dryer balls work?

It’s all about the action. The tumbling motion of the balls keeps clothing separate, cutting drying time by up to 25%. Wool balls also absorb excess water quickly, further reducing drying time.

Additionally, the movement of the balls around your clothing acts as a natural fabric softener and stops your clothes becoming tangled, reducing wrinkles and static.

Why choose a natural fabric softener?

Here is a fun fact: If you love soft, fluffy towels, and think more fabric softener is the answer, think again! While fabric softener makes clothes feel soft, it actually coats them in silicone oil (Polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS) which reduces their ability to absorb water and detergent. This is especially problematic for towels, whose main job is to absorb water! Over time, fabric softener buildup can even hinder effective dirt removal, shortening the lifespan of your clothes. Not good for the Planet!

How many Wool Dryer Balls do you need?

• 3-4 balls – small to medium load
• 5-6 balls – medium to large load

Care for your Dryer Balls

As you are only throwing them in with clean washing they don’t need to be washed themselves, just dried after each load.

Simply pop them in the sun to dry. 

Long lasting pure wool balls can be used over and over again…for more than a 1000 loads.
