New Zealand Wool Dryer Balls

Step-by-Step Instructions for Using Dryer Balls

Get your dryer balls at the ready and let's begin!

Step 1: Toss your dryer balls in the dryer with your wet washing. Dryer balls need space to bounce around and circulate air, so never stuff the machine too full.

Step 2: Shut the dryer door and start the drying cycle.

Step 3: Keep an eye on the laundry as the drying time will be shorter than you're used to.

Step 4: Remove your clothes from the dryer and store the balls in a dry place to avoid dampness and odors.

Bonus Tip: For fresh-smelling clothes, we suggest adding essential oils to your dryer balls to naturally fragrance your laundry. After your clothes have dried, add 3-4 drops of your favorite essential oils to the dryer balls and run the dryer again on a cool Air Fluff cycle for 10 minutes. Our laundry collection is ideal for a clean aroma!

How to Recharge Wool Dryer Balls

Although dry balls last several years, they can become stressed and you may notice your dryer balls becoming less effective. In this case, throw the balls in a pillowcase and run them through a gentle hot wash cycle, followed by once through the dryer on high heat. Doing this twice a year helps to remove lint and rejuvenate the wool – they'll be as good as new!

 Final Thoughts

Adding dryer balls to your life means doing your pockets a favor (literally and figuratively) while helping the environment.
