What are dryer balls and how do they work?

Are you familiar with the popular dryer balls (also known as Dryerballs) and wondering what exactly these balls do? Then read on as we explain the benefits of this dryer hack! 

Laundry dryer balls are round balls that you place in the dryer to soften your clothes and reduce wrinkles. They work by bouncing in the dryer and softening fabrics while also circulating air between clothes.

Grandmother's trick

In the past, tennis balls were often used to fluff up down jackets and dry the laundry faster. Adding these balls to the wet laundry and spinning them together created more space and air between the textile pieces. However, tennis balls make a lot of noise and can cause damage to the dryer and delicate fabrics. Fortunately, there are now many alternatives on the market made specifically for the dryer and textiles.

Ordering dryer balls

Last but not least, take better care of the clothes you already have!

Use appropriate care items to care for your clothes. Don't put your clothes in the washing machine unnecessarily, but instead, for example, run a clothes steamer over them to freshen the fabric, or hang the fabric outside to air. Does a fabric start to pill? Or does it have lint on it? Use a fabric brush or lint remover to breathe new life into the fabric. It certainly doesn't have to be thrown away. Use gentle detergent without chemicals and harmful substances for your garment. That way the fabric will last much longer!
