Dryer Sheets Vs. Wool Dryer Balls: Which Is Best?
Sustainable laundry is now a thing! Enter wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets.
But are wool dryer balls all they are hyped up to be?
To find out, first let’s talk about the difference between wool dryer balls and dryer sheets, and when it’s best to use each of them.
Wool dryer balls are made of all-natural wool. They are reusable, sustainable, and eco-friendly. Wool dryer balls last longer than dryer sheets - up to 1000 loads -, and help your clothes dry softer and faster.
Dryer sheets, however, are made of polyester, and contain many harmful and toxic chemicals. Because they don’t naturally break down; they contribute to environmental waste. And while there are a handful of companies that make reusable dryer sheets, they don’t have the lifespan of wool dryer balls.

Why You Should Ditch Your Fabric Softener
We’ve all seen the blue bottle with the photo of a baby snuggling in a soft, pink blanket. The message is - “Use this to get softer, fresher smelling clothes.” But is that true and is it necessary?
As a toxin-free laundry service, we at OrangeBag advise you to ditch the fabric softener. Not only can it irritate sensitive skin, leave a layer of residue on your clothes, and reduce the absorption of your towels - but it’s also filled with toxic chemicals that aren’t good for you or the planet.
Fabric softeners work by depositing a layer of electrically charged chemical compounds on fabric. This coating causes the fibers on clothes to fluff up, making fabric feel softer next to your skin. They also neutralize electric charge, which eliminates static cling.
But the benefits of fabric softener stop there. Find out why you should ditch your fabric softener and what to do instead!
