Natural Alternative to Dryer Sheets
Every since I’ve made the change in our home to more natural cleaning remedies, I’ve gone without my dryer sheets. And I missed having my clothes come out with a nice fragrance….but I don’t miss all the respiratory issues my young kids had because of their sensitivities to harsh chemicals.
I finally came across these wool dryer balls, that serve many purposes that we all can benefit from in more ways than one! Using 3 wool dryer balls with your laundry allows you to add essential oils (directly to the ball) which will infuse scent with your clothes (toxin free), reduce static, and additionally, reduce drying time. Thus, reducing the amount of electricity needed to dry each load of laundry which will save you money!
When I’m drying my children’s clothes, I like to use essential oils like Lavender or Orange. But when drying my husbands work shorts, I use Balance essential oil. The great thing is, these balls last for years, and you can change the oil choice with each load!
