Compared to conventional plastic laundry balls, moisture is absorbed mid cycle to reduce drying time by up to 40%, while saving you money on energy bills. These environmentally friendly laundry balls are made from 100% natural humanely sheared premium New Zealand sheep’s wool, so are hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals. This makes them safer to use with items like baby clothes, towels and perfect for those who have sensitive skin or allergies. As they move around in your dryer, the balls circulate air flow in a more effective way and reduce tangle to make your clothes last longer. This leaves them fluffier with less wrinkles for a chemical free alternative to fabric softener. It also reduces wear and tear from friction, so your clothes last longer. Why not add a finishing touch to your laundry by adding essential oil to the dryer ball, giving you an extra scent boost for even fresher smelling laundry. You can also say goodbye to single-use dryer sheets as these laundry balls are reusable and can last for hundreds of cycles (depending on frequency of use). For small to medium loads you’ll need 2-4 and all 6 for larger loads. Once they are ready to be disposed, these wool dryer balls are fully recyclable, compostable and come in a 100% cotton reusable drawstring bag. Time to go green on your next laundry load. To refresh the laundry balls, simply do a hand wash with warm water and mild soap, then leave to air dry. 1-year guarantee Features Material Wool Product colour White Product type Tumble dryer balls Weight & dimensions Package height 215 mm Package depth 75 mm Package width 145 mm Diameter 7 cm Packaging content Package type Box
