Why thousands choose nontoxic dryer balls over fabric softener: 'Try and you'll never go back'

Most people don’t like to do laundry — but it’s one of those things we all have to deal with. So why not make it less painful and save a few bucks along the way?

If you haven’t heard, wool dryer balls are all the rage — and Walmart shoppers can’t stop buying them up. These genius little balls are designed to cut drying time in half and ensure each load is static-free. And unlike traditional dryer sheets, wool balls are non-toxic and reusable for up to 1,000 loads. So you’re saving money along the way, too.

While your clothes and sheets are tumbling around in the dryer, the balls work to separate your items, allowing hot air to circulate evenly and more efficiently. But that’s not all. We all know over-drying a load leads to static, but these woolies make sure that’s a problem of the past. The wool itself is absorbent, which helps reduce drying time and obliterates pesky cling once and for all.

The result? Perfectly dry, static-free clothes and sheets in record time — and most importantly, more time to do whatever you love to do.
