What are Wool Dryer Balls?
Our wool dryer balls are made of the finest New Zealand wool and are about the size of a softball. They offer an effective, eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets. These balls soften clothes, combat static, and reduce drying time. As they bounce around in the dryer, they create better air circulation and gently massage the fibers of your clothes, resulting in quicker drying and softer, fluffier laundry.
These woolen wonders replace disposable dryer sheets, saving you money and reducing waste. They're also gentle on sensitive skin and free from synthetic fragrances and dyes.

What are Detergent Strips?
Detergent strips are pre-measured, concentrated sheets of laundry detergent that dissolve in water. Our detergent strips are rectangular, biodegradable detergent sheets that dissolve quickly in water to remove stains and odors from clothing.
Benefits of Wool Dryer Balls
Our wool dryer balls are 100% natural and non-toxic and make your clothes soft. From reducing drying time and saving energy to replacing fabric softener and dryer sheets, these little woolen powerhouses are here to transform how you do laundry.
Let’s see what benefits wool dryer balls have to offer.
Accelerate Drying Time
Wool dryer balls could speed up your drying process by a whopping 25%! These wooly wonders absorb surplus moisture and create air pockets between your laundry items. The result is a quicker drying time thanks to improved airflow in the dryer.
Reduce Wrinkles
Wool dryer balls work their magic by keeping your clothes moving and preventing them from sticking to the dryer's sides. This enhanced tumble action means fewer wrinkles.
Quieter Operation
Wool dryer balls are superior to tennis balls or plastic dryer balls because they are softer and less rigid. Tennis balls do not have the same level of softness, static reduction, or drying time efficiency as wool dryer balls. They may also be too harsh for delicate fabrics, causing damage or pilling.
No Unwanted Fragrance
Our wool dryer balls are unscented and ideal for those with allergies, asthma, or sensitivity to fragrances. If you do miss that fresh laundry smell, you can still add a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
Environmentally Friendly
Our wool dryer balls are crafted from renewable, natural wool, promoting sustainability. Their ability to reduce drying time leads to significant energy savings and decreases carbon emissions. Unlike disposable dryer sheets, which contribute to landfill waste, these wool balls last up to 1,000 loads and are biodegradable at the end of their lifespan. By replacing chemical-based fabric softeners or dryer sheets, they prevent harmful substances from entering water systems, thus safeguarding aquatic ecosystems.
The Benefits of Laundry Strips
Our laundry strips are a perfect, eco-friendly solution for your washing process. Plus, they give your laundry a fresh scent without any artificial fragments. They also come with a bunch of other benefits.
Let’s see what benefits detergent strips have to offer.
Powerful Cleaning
Our laundry strips are highly concentrated for effective stain removal and odor elimination, leaving your clothes fresh and clean.
Eco-Friendly
Our plastic-free detergent strips are a more sustainable option than traditional detergents because they are made with fewer chemicals and packaging materials. They dissolve completely in water, leaving no microplastics behind and minimizing the environmental impact.
Space Saving
Laundry strips are an excellent choice for people who live in small apartments or are constantly on the go. They take up very little space in a suitcase or a storage closet because they are thin and lightweight. This makes them an ideal choice for travelers, college students, and anyone who values convenience and simplicity.
No Measuring or Spills
Unlike liquid or powder detergents, laundry strips require no measuring or pouring. Simply grab a strip and toss it into the washing machine for hassle-free laundry.
Versatile
Laundry strips can be used for various types of laundry, including regular clothes, delicates, and even baby clothes. They're also gentler on fabrics and less likely to cause fading or pilling. They are, therefore, a great option for delicates and other sensitive items that harsh detergents might harm. They are suitable for both top-load and front-load washing machines.
