What are Dryer Balls?
Dryer balls are a unique product designed to leave your clothes soft and static free as well as make the process of doing laundry more economical. Dryer balls are relatively large rubber balls about 3 inches (7.6 cm)in diameter that have rubber spikes on the surface. When placed in the dryer among the wet laundry the dryer balls help to lift and separate the clothes reducing static and drying time as well as leaving the clothes soft and fluffy. Technically the dryer balls work by improving the circulation of heat and air through the wet items. Ideally, the dryer balls eliminate the need for dryer sheets by doing the work naturally rather than chemically. Replacing dryer sheets with dryer balls will save money since the dryer balls are reusable. Dryer balls cost anywhere from $9.99 to $15.00 US Dollars (USD) and are intended to last for at least two years before they need to be replaced. With the average price of dryer sheets at around $3.00 USD, dryer balls can save you a lot of money.
