Dryer Balls help you save time as well as energy.

Use your clothes dryer for even less time and conserve energy.

Being a Tumble Dryer Engineer in addition to a user of the dryer in my own house, I’m always looking for ways to reduce tumble dryer operating costs and also the amount of additives or detergents required to wash and dry clothes.

I’ve been using and recommending tumble dryer balls now for a few years, with great results.

So what are tumble dryer balls?

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

First Saving.

Simply load the dryer balls directly into your tumble dryer along with the laundry. The concept is that as the clothes inside the dryer tumble round, the clothes are constantly being massaged by the dryer balls. They’ve been designed to break up stiffness created as a result of water drying out. This means now there will be no need for fabric treatment or conditioning sheets.

Second Saving.

Since the dryer balls are constantly massaging the washing throughout the tumble cycle, there’s no need to use fabric refresher in the washing machine either. The dryer balls break down any hardness in your laundry and also soften all the clothes while they tumble around.

Third Saving.

The dryer balls lift as well as separate your laundry whilst drying, this minimizes drying time and cuts down creasing, that means you can dry a full load in a shorter period and also less wrinkles require much less ironing.

Fourth Saving.

The dryer balls also hold on to the heat and pass this to the clothes when they tumble, further speeding up the entire drying action.

Fifth Saving.

Since a normal load of laundry will now be dry inside less time than you are accustomed to, all the moving parts within the clothes dryer will be operating for much less total time, minimizing wear and tear, friction, as well as on costly tumble dryer repairs.

How to use Dryer Balls.

Clothes dryer balls are re-usable. When you go to lift out the dried laundry, simply leave the dryer balls in the tumble dryer, and so the very next time the clothes dryer is used, they’ll start working their magic as soon as the drier is started. Operate your machine at the usual temperature setting for the materials you might be drying, but make sure you choose a reduced drying time.

How about Sensor Dryers?

Sensor dryers will just work out the reduced drying time easily. Tumble Dryer Balls are reusable for hundreds of times, so you’ll get the huge benefits repeatedly!

Any kind of downsides?

Sure there are a few things to understand.

1st Like many items today, you can find fakes for sale which usually appear the same as the originals. Therefore buy from a trustworthy company and look for the dryer balls with the unconditional 2 year exchange or return guarantee.

2nd Dryer balls will increase the noise out of your clothes dryer when they occasionally bounce of the metal drum when they tumble about, this really is harmless.

3rd On some very old tumble dryers, there may be white paint on the inside of the drum, as these dryers are usually older this paint can start to come off and become mixed in together with your laundry. In a few unusual cases dryer balls could make this worse. If your dryer is less than ten years old, there will be no trouble with this. If it is older, be sure the painted drum is in good condition.
