Dryer balls are small, round objects made from materials like wool or plastic that are used in clothes dryers. They help to separate laundry items, allowing hot air to circulate more efficiently, which can reduce drying time. By bouncing around in the dryer, they also help to minimize wrinkles and static cling in fabrics. Using dryer balls can be an eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets, as they are reusable and can last for several years. They are easy to use; simply toss them in with your wet laundry. Many people find that they can save energy and money on their utility bills by using dryer balls.
