Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I didn’t believe the hype of wool dryer balls but decided to give them a try since we’re planning to cloth diaper... so this is also without using liquid fabric softeners as well as dryer sheets. I prepped them according to the instructions and some advice from the Internet... and have been using them a couple months and they really do make a huge difference in drying time. I have a Maytag bravos XL washer and dryer, because we have a large family, so I use all six every dryer load, and I started using med heat instead of high, and our laundry still dries in less time, and though I can’t say how winter static is yet, so far I haven’t had ANY static issues. My favorite thing, is that jeans seem to thoroughly dry now (no more damp pockets!). I got some essential oil and put a couple drops on them about every other week, I just make sure to not use too much, and to allow it about an hour to absorb before using them because of reports of fire risks with some cheaper oils that might contain alcohol. You just have to figure out what scent works best for you, I figured out we like a combination of lavender, cedar wood, and tiny bit of sweet orange oil. Tip: if you’re just trying to get wrinkles out of something, you can dampen them just a bit and run a low heat cycle in the dryer, and they steam wrinkles out perfectly! It works great for picture-day shirts, and for getting the “new crease” out of tablecloths and curtains!
