I recently purchased some Wool Balls for my dryer. Does anyone here have experience? Good/bad results? how long do they last? If you clean them how do you do it? Thanks in advance

I've been using them for almost a year and have noticed a difference. Loads dry quicker.

I bought mine from amazon just over 2. 5 years a go now and they are still going. You can tell them have got smaller but not a massive difference. I have six in my machine and think they are great

I’m really liking using them. I didn’t know about the essential oils bit. I may look into this

Essential oils can leave oil marks on clothes

I also purchased mine from amazon and use all 6 on larger loads. I do use the lavender oil. It doesn’t stain bc it’s absorbed into the ball and it makes clothes smell wonderful.

I’ve been using them for years and they’re great. They stop the static for a start and loosen up the clothes so they’re not going round in a clump. Defo don’t put essential oils on them as it will mark your clothes. Home Bargains do a pack of three for £2:99.

If for static you can use tin foil balls if that’s what these cotton balls are for
