Simple Ecology Laundry Set

Wool dryer balls work by physically separating your laundry as it tumbles, which allows hot air to circulate more efficiently between garments. This increased airflow speeds up the evaporation process, typically reducing drying time by 10% to 25% depending on the size of your load.

To avoid staining, apply the essential oil directly to the wool dryer balls rather than your clothing. Let the oil absorb into the wool for a few minutes before tossing the balls into the dryer with your laundry.

Yes, these GOTS-certified organic cotton bags are designed to be sturdy, but they are primarily intended to protect delicate fabrics like silk, lace, or hosiery from snagging. While they can handle heavier items, they are best suited for smaller, fragile loads to ensure the longevity of the fabric.

While the wool balls are durable, high heat can sometimes cause wool to degrade faster over time. For the best balance of energy efficiency and product longevity, we recommend using a medium heat setting.

The bags are machine washable. Simply toss them in with your regular laundry load, ideally inside a larger bag or on their own, and let them air dry to maintain the integrity of the organic cotton fibers.

With regular use, a set of high-quality wool dryer balls typically lasts for 1,000 loads or more. You will know it is time to replace them when they begin to unravel or become significantly smaller in size.
