Laundry is one of those chores that no matter how much you want to not have to do it – it is always there. With three boys in our home the laundry pile is forever growing! Some days I feel like I just cleaned and emptied out one laundry basket only to go upstairs and find another one full! Our home can easily go through four to five (full) loads of laundry a week between uniforms, work clothes, soccer uniforms and regular clothes!
I was really excited when I saw that
Woolzies Dryer Balls were looking for individuals to try out and review their products. They are completely natural (made out of wool) and 100% eco friendly!!
Both of my children and myself suffer with eczema and skin sensitivities. This being said, I try to avoid as many harsh products as possible and do not switch their detergent often. I do not use dryer sheets in my dryer (mostly because I can never remember to re-purchase them and they are so expensive!) but also because I do not want the added extra chemicals on the clothes especially when my youngest reacted to one brand when he was small.
The
Woolzies Dryer Balls are roughly a bit larger then a tennis ball and soft to the touch. They are made 100% of wool (and yet it can still be used by individuals who are allergic or sensitive to wool as they do not shed or fall apart in the dryer) with no added chemicals (they are PVC free!).
What I liked the most about the dryer balls was that I was able to just leave them in my dryer and not have to remember to add anything into the dryer with each load. A couple of times one would slip up a pant leg or sweater and my boys thought it was hilarious to find one hiding in their sweaters one morning while getting ready for school!.
Woolzies Dryer balls last for 1,000 loads!! Which is such an added bonus not to have to keep purchasing dryer sheets every couple of weeks. Laundry can be expensive so to only have to purchase one box and have it last that long is such an added benefit.
With large loads you can not hear them bouncing around at all in the dryer. I did notice with smaller loads that if I added in the full six dryer balls you could hear them slightly. So I just re-adjusted the amount in the dryer by half and there was only a little amount of noise. Because the
Woolzies Dryer balls bounce around in the dryer they also cut down the drying time by forming space around your clothes allowing for better air circulation.
I love that the product is handmade by women in Nepal! Pretty neat, eh?!
After two weeks worth of loads (roughly fifteen loads – we had a gastric bug go through our family at the same time so they had some extra work cut out for them!) the dryer balls held their shape and still looked fairly new.
Overall, Woolzies Dryer Balls are a fantastic natural product that you can feel safe and comfortable using for your family. They have the added bonus of being able to be left in your dryer and not have to constantly add in dryer sheets or run out of them!.
