Quick Drying

When people think of our house they probably think the most used balls are basketball and lacrosse … but the DRYER BALL gets the most play. 🥎

Here are its stats: nontoxic, reusable, saves energy, compostable

Why it matters:

Traditional dryer sheets are soaked with synthetic chemicals The transfer to your skin.

They pollute indoor air by causing your dryer to vent air that would fail a car emissions test (and we all know what a pain it is to fail that test).

Most can’t be recycled, going to landfill after just one use.

How they work:

When three to five are added to a load of wet clothes in a dryer, the balls bounce around and slowly remove water while they work their way in between the layers of wet material. This action separates the layers so warm air can circulate around the clothes. Without the balls, wet clothes tend to stay in a clump until the heat from the dryer begins to separate them. The balls speed up the drying time by separating the clothes from the minute the dryer starts spinning. Depending on the thickness of the fabric, drying times can be reduced by 25 to 50 percent. The balls also beat gently against the clothes, which results in soft and fluffy material.

I do have a trusted dryer sheet that I use in some cases but most the time I trust the ball!
