A pack of clothes dryer balls offers an effective, yet simple solution to reduce creases and drying time, softens fabrics, and saves on the expense of chemical fabric softeners, dryer sheets, and energy.

Dryer balls come designed to lift and separate a laundry-load during its drying stage, which results in more efficient air circulation and that ensures that clothes, sheets, and towels dry that much quicker.

Placing 2 to 6 dryer balls in a washer/dryer with a full load of towels, sheets, or clothes is all that is required to use these laundry accessories. Once a drying cycle is completed, a noticeable difference in the softness of fabrics is evident, and that all comes without a need for chemicals.

The softening balls with a large-sized surface area, are often more effective in making contacting with the wash load, and that all helps in making sure the fabrics come out a machine feeling that much softer.

Benefits often seen with these laundry accessories include - fabrics soften naturally, so no requirement to use chemical fabric softeners, a wash dries up to 25% quicker, clothes dry with less static cling, creases and wrinkles, so less ironing required, a environmentally-friendly and toxic free option, and a noticeable saving seen on the cost of shopping and energy bills.

OnTel, GreenWallBall, Nellie’s, and Dryer Max all offer a selection of softening balls, with a resilient construction to soften, and freshen clothes, while also able to withstand repeated use.

If there is a preference to add a fragrance to a wash load, some of the laundry balls are designed to accept a scent sticks to release a citrus, lavender, or similar scent on the clothes during its drying cycle.

In addition to the choice of dryer balls, other washer-dryer accessories include soap nuts for an eco-friendly alternative to a washing detergent, or add in a washer ball for a more effective scrubbing action throughout a wash. In addition, anti-static dryer balls are perfect for cling and static-free clothing - a great option to limit the use of messy or inconvenient dryer sheets.

On the whole, a pack of dryerballs popped into a washer/dryer ensures that towels, sheets, and clothes come out that much softer and fresher to result in a favored laundry accessory.
