How do the ecoegg Dryer Eggs work? The fabric or yarn to make dryer balls must be 100% wool or another animal hair (like alpaca, but not cashmere) that will shrink, or felt, when exposed to hot water. The natural hair has barbs that latch onto one another to create a more solid finish. This will provide the density you need for the ball to hold its shape. The natural fibers also help control static much better than synthetic fibers.

Tights: You'll spend longer untangling them post dryer than they would have taken to dry on your radiator in the first place. The delicate material is also likely to tear. Each load was weighed before and after washing and then dried for 40 minutes on a normal cycle. For every set of dryer balls, we dried each of the three loads on a timed dry cycle and measured its post-dry weight. We used the recommended number of dryer balls based on load size. For comparison, we also dried loads with a tennis ball to see how dryer ball results fared. Overloading the machine can also lead to other problems, such as the belt that turns the drum breaking. Although the Friendsheep were a bit of a novelty, they were also made of soft New Zealand wool and made our t-shirts and comforters soft to the touch.You can put tennis balls in the washing machine, as there’s nothing in them that could be damaged by the washing machine. The balls are firmly felted, effective for up to 1,000 loads, and contain no plastic, synthetics, or fillers.

If you're concerned about your children or pets being injured in a tumble dryer, then follow these precautions to help ensure they're safe: The three options to consider if the woollen balls are what you’re looking for are the OrgaWise balls, the KinTor balls, and the 8-Natur balls. Are you looking for a more affordable option? Our lab team spent weeks laundering towels, t-shirts, and a queen-size comforter to find the best dryer balls. Once you have finished felting, cut off any excess wool roving. You can then wet the balls with water and soap. The water will cause the fibers to contract and tighten up. This will help the balls keep their shape. Allow the balls to dry completely before using them in your dryer.If your tumble dryer is tripping your electrics, it could be as simple as water or fluff having built up inside the machine. Clean all elements, as mentioned above, and look for any dampness or damage. If anything is wet, leave the machine open to dry for as long as possible.

Enter the lightweight plastic dryer ball - these are much less dense than ones made from wool and create only a light thump as they bounce around the machine, rather than a heavy thud! Simply taking a mixed load of clothes from your washing machine and loading it into your tumble dryer might feel like the easiest way to get the laundry done, but it's not the most efficient way to dry clothes. You can also ascertain whether the belt is the cause by listening to the dryer. If the motor sounds like it's running at a faster pace, possibly making a high-pitched noise too, a defective belt is the likely culprit. Dryer balls can be cleaned, as strange as that may sound since the main purpose of them is to roll around with clean laundry," says Morris. "As a general rule, simply put them in the wash with cold water (your individual dryer balls will likely have specific instructions) and let air dry. This should remove any build-up, lint, etc." How long do dryer balls last? Without adding additional fabric conditioner or tumble dryer sheets, simply place the dryer balls on top of the pile of clothes (using two to four balls for small loads or four to six when drying a more substantial amount)
