Dryer Balls save time as well as energy.

Use your clothes dryer for less time and conserve power.

Being a Tumble Dryer Engineer and also a user of the dryer in my own home, I am always exploring for new ways to reduce tumble dryer running costs as well as the amount of chemicals or detergents required to wash and dry clothes.

I’ve been using and recommending dryer balls now for a few years, and getting fantastic results.

What exactly are dryer balls?

There’re similar in size to a tennis ball and are covered with spikes and nodes. Sold as a set of 2, normally one will be blue and one is red or pink. One has rounded type spikes and nodes, the other one has more angular spikes and nodes.

First Saving.

Simply place the dryer balls directly into your clothes dryer and the washing. The concept is, as the clothes in the clothes dryer tumbles around, the clothes are constantly being massaged by the dryer balls. They’ve been specially designed to break down stiffness created by water drying. This means there will be no need for fabric softening or even conditioning sheets.

Second Saving.

Because the dryer balls are continuously massaging your washing throughout the tumble cycle, there is no need for fabric conditioner in your washing machine either. The dryer balls break up any hardness in your washing and soften the laundry while they tumble around.

Third Saving.

Because the dryer balls pick up and separate your washing whilst drying, this reduces drying time and lessens creasing, that means you can dry a full load in less time and less wrinkles require less ironing.

Fourth Saving.

Typically the dryer balls also retain the heat and transfer it into the clothes when they tumble, further quickening the drying action.

Fifth Saving.

Since a typical load of washing will be dry in a shorter period than you are generally accustomed to, all the moving parts in the clothes dryer will be operating for less overall time, reducing wear, friction, as well as on expensive tumble dryer repairs.

How to use Dryer Balls.

Tumble dryer balls are re-usable. Whenever you come to lift out your dried washing, simply leave the dryer balls inside the tumble dryer, which means that the next time the clothes dryer is used, they will start working their magic the moment the drier is switched on. Run the machine on the usual heat setting for those materials you’re drying, however be sure to choose a reduced drying time.

How about Sensor Dryers?

Sensor dryers can just work out the shorter drying time period automatically. Tumble Dryer Balls really are reusable for hundreds of times, therefore you’ll get the huge benefits repeatedly!

Any kind of downsides?

Sure there are a couple of things to be aware of.

1st Just like many items nowadays, there are fakes being sold which usually seem exactly like the originals. For that reason you should buy from a reliable company and search for the dryer balls with the unconditional two year change or refund guarantee.

2nd Dryer balls may raise the noise out of your clothes dryer because they sometimes bounce of the metal drum as they tumble about, this really is harmless.

3rd With some really old tumble dryers, there might be white paint inside the drum, as these dryers are usually older this paint can start to flake off and get mixed in with your your washing. In a few rare cases dryer balls can make this worse. If your dryer is under ten years old, there will be no trouble with this. If it’s older, check that the painted drum is in good shape.
