Do Nellie's Dryer Balls Really Work?

Nellie's Dryer Balls

Even the good folks at Grow and Make can’t always dry our laundry on the clothes line outside or in the basement, and occasionally have to use the dryer. In these situations we like to use Nellie’s Dryer Balls to help the drying process be a little more environmentally friendly.

We toss a couple of Nellie’s Dryer Balls into the dryer to lift and separate clothes, reduce lint, static cling, wrinkles and ironing time, and circulate the air in the dryer more efficiently. These dryer balls can help you to save between 10 minutes to a half hour of drying time on each load thus reducing your grid energy consumption.

Another benefit of using these dryer balls is that they are an allergy-free method of softening fabrics. They massage your laundry’s fibers as they spin in your dryer and make everything soft and fluffy. Best of all, you can get rid of your toxic fabric softening sheets which leave an oil coating on clothes, and can remove the fire retardant found in children’s clothing. Just think of how much money you will save on fabric softeners alone.

Drop a package of Nellie’s Dryer Balls in your shopping cart today and in your dryer tomorrow. Your clothes and budget will be glad you did.

Each package contains two dryer balls and each ball is approximately 3 ½ inches long by 2 ½ inches wide.
