Wool Dryer Balls - Smart Sheep 8-Pack - XL Premium Natural Fabric Softener Award-Winning - Wool Balls Replaces Dryer Sheets - Wool Balls for Dryer - Laundry Balls for Dryer - Reusable Dryer Balls

These things are great! I may have imagined this, but they seemed to become more effective after the first several loads, so there may be a breaking in period. There may also be a period of adjustment for those of us who associate perfume-y smells with clean laundry, but I and everyone I have introduced them to have come to prefer our "sheeps' balls" to chemical laden fabric softeners. Dryer loads are dry more quickly, and items are far less wrinkly than without the balls. Having ordered the set of eight, I see no reason to calculate the number used based on load - in this case, I think more is probably better. They do not leave lint on my dark clothes, and though they are not a substitute for an iron, they will prevent your jeans from drying into accordian-like tangled folds. For those complaining about static, I don't recall any claims to eliminate it, and have indeed noticed a bit more when clothes are taken from the dryer now that the colder weather has settled in, but I'd rather shake that out as I fold than expose myself and others to the cumulative effect of unnecessary chemicals (try white vinegar in the wash & drying naturals and synthetics separately to cut down on static). I put a few drops of lavender essential oil on a couple of balls for each load, which leaves a nice hint of scent, although when standing outside the vent, the effect seems more pronounced in the yard - hope the squirrels enjoy it too! (Of course one should not use essential oils indiscriminately, especially undiluted, for children, and around people with particular sensitivities.) I even badgered a tough-guy friend who is helping to care for his elderly mother to try some at her house, and not only has he become quite the able laundry-doer, but he has impressed his picky, sticky-note leaving sisters with his find. This is a great product that everyone who uses a dryer should include in their laundry kit.

The balls are medium hard but don't harm the dryer or laundry. They have no extra artificial scents. I have non-specific allergies and I like the no extra smell to contend with that dryer sheets add. My laundry comes out of the dryer static free and soft. They keep the laundry separated and last a very long time too. A great investment.

What a difference these balls make in your laundry. Makes it dry faster and towels dry fluffier! Great value for your money.

Quality product. Works well with all types of garments and linens. Like that these are environmentally-friendly and from a woman-owned and women-supportive small business.

Absolutely an eco friendly method to keep clothes soft and chemical free!

Good product. If it falls on the floor, I throw it in the washer and back into the dryer. They’ve held up well and worth the money.

Fast shipping. These wool dryer balls made my clothes really soft. Used with essential oils. I would definitely recommend these.

These lambs wool dryer balls really do help with static electricity instead of using fabric softener…a cheaper alternative. I also think they keep clothes separated so they dry quicker and more thoroughly. I already had three but needed more for larger loads and am so glad I got these. Would recommend.

Excellent product. Leaves my towels soft and minus the guilt of the huge environmental impact of dryer sheets. I have bought some for my friends and family too.

I still need my fabric softener to get rid of static...but the clothing seems tiny bit softer.

Por las opiniones esperaba más, le estoy poniendo 2 bolas a una carga completa y aún así, no suavisa como esperaba. Ahora estoy volviendo a utilizar las toallas suavizantes que ya no quería utilizar.

Just add to tumble dryer, they capture all the lint etc.

A brilliant product
