The Secret Ingredient to Softer, Faster-Drying Laundry

The Secret Ingredient to Softer, Faster-Drying Laundry

The powerful punch of wool dryer balls.

In the world of laundry, there's a secret weapon that's been quietly revolutionising the drying process and we think it’s time it gets the love and attention it deserves!

In the quest for softer, faster-drying laundry without the use of harsh chemicals, many have turned to the humble yet mighty wool dryer balls. These small spheres of ‘fluff’ may seem ordinary at first glance, but don't let their size fool you – they pack a powerful punch when it comes to transforming your laundry routine.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

When MNML’s New Zealand wool balls are added into the dryer along with your damp laundry, they work their magic by bouncing around, creating air pockets, and separating your clothes. This movement not only helps to reduce drying time but also prevents clothes from clumping together, resulting in more even drying and fewer wrinkles. (Yes please!)

Join us as we explore the many fascinating benefits of wool dryer balls and uncover the secret to not only softer, more luxurious feeling fabrics, but an elevated laundry experience overall.

BENEFITS OF USING WOOL BALLS IN YOUR DRYER:

Faster drying time: Wool dryer balls lessen drying time primarily through their ability to improve airflow and absorption during the drying process. As the wool balls bounce around in the dryer, they create movement among the clothes. This tumbling action helps to break up wet spots and distribute moisture evenly throughout the fabric, allowing the clothes to dry more quickly. This movement against fabrics can also help fight wrinkles and lead to softer feeling clothes.

Decreased static cling: Wool fibres have natural moisture-wicking properties, meaning they can absorb excess moisture from the fabric as it dries. By absorbing moisture from the clothes, dryer balls help to prevent the build-up of static electricity, which is often caused by dry air and friction between fabrics.

Reusable and Eco-friendly: Say goodbye to single-use products! Wool dryer balls are a great eco-friendly option as they can be used multiple times (they typically last for over 1000 loads of laundry). In this way, they’re super cost-effective too!

No harmful chemicals: Dryer balls are a natural and chemical-free alternative to conventional dryer sheets and fabric softeners. No harmful chemicals necessary.

Reduction in Lint and Pet Hair: By lifting and separating the laundry as it tumbles, wool balls promote better air circulation within the dryer. This improved airflow helps to prevent lint and pet hair from becoming trapped in the fabric fibres and instead allows them to be expelled from the dryer more effectively.

We think the verdict is simple...in a world where simplicity and sustainability are becoming increasingly valued, wool dryer balls stand out as a perfect example of both. From their ability to soften and dry fabric, to their eco-friendly and cost-effective nature, we think these small but mighty balls of wool have earned their rightful place in the laundry room!

When you purchase MNML’s New Zealand wool balls, you’re buying freedom from chemicals, fabric softeners, plastic packaging and single use products. So why not experience the magic for yourself? Your laundry – and the planet – will thank you.

DIRECTIONS:
Place all 3 wool balls in your dryer with your regular washing load (use 6 balls if you have a large load). Put your dryer on its normal dry cycle and that’s it! You’ll notice less drying time, less ironing, no static and super soft dry clothes. It’s an eco-friendly solution to drying clothes effectively. Top tip: Choose white wool balls to dry your whites and grey wool balls for your coloured clothes, sheets and towels.
