Entry #30 – Heather S.!
Maple Hill Dryer Balls are an awesome option to help speed up your laundry’s drying time! Dryer balls are a great replacement for dryer sheets and fabric softeners. They help circulate & separate the clothing to allow the warm air to better disperse within your dryer. The best part is they speed up the drying time and soften your clothes!
Handmade from 100% wool- Natural with no dyes or chemicals
- 100% reusable & durable!
- Fluff your clothing
- Decrease static cling
Dryer balls are perfect for cloth diapers and more gentle than the plastic versions you’ll find in big box stores. The owner of Maple Hill Dryer Balls, Rebecca, recommends 2 dryer balls for small loads, 4 for medium loads, and 6+ for regular to large loads!
I couldn’t believe how much faster my laundry dried with just 2 dryer balls. Plus the Lavender Dream Scented Dryer Balls smell wonderful! I’ll definetly be investing in more!
