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.
