Certain wool dryer balls, such as ones made from plastic, can damage your dryer if they are too dense. If you miss that fresh laundry scent that you get from dryer sheets, you can easily give wool dryer balls a pleasant fragrance using a couple of drops of essential oils, such as lavender, citrus, or eucalyptus.

Natur’s tumble dryer balls are designed to be considerably larger and heavier than similar products, which means that they absorb more moisture and are more successful in loosening the layers in your load of laundry. Completely free of dyes and chemicals, these soft wool balls are not only quieter than plastic designs, they are more gentle on your fabrics too, fluffing up your towels and relaxing fibres without the need for softeners or tumble dryer sheets. The ecoegg Dryer Eggs come in matching fragrances to the ecoegg Laundry Egg– Fresh Linen, Spring Blossom and Fragrance Free and so are perfect to use to dry, soften and fragrance your laundry after using the Laundry Egg. All have a purpose in softening and drying laundry at a faster rate, and are a much more eco-friendly option over single-use dryer sheets.With the days getting shorter and the nights drawing in, it’s time to make up for the lack of sunlight with the cosy twinkle of a well-lit Christmas tree. Dryer balls are generally soft and are unlikely to cause any damage to your machine, especially the woollen ones.

This will increase the levels of humidity within the tumble dryer and, thus, remove any remaining static. While you may want to use essential oils to scent your dryer balls, it is not advisable as it can make dryer balls, especially those made of wool, more flammable. They will retain the scent and transfer it onto the contents of the dryer through heat and air circulation. Our energetic dryer eggs love a boogie – simply pop 2 Dryer Eggs inside your tumble dryer with your laundry to speed up drying time, reduce creasing and to boost the fragrance on your clothes.

Blends, cotton, or anything treated will not work because it won't felt in the correct way to create the ball. Absorbing water without shedding lint, you can even add a few drops of your favourite essential oils to add a little scent to your load. However, they also work great as washer and dryer balls, which you’d otherwise pay a decent bit of money for.
