## Description

desertcart.com: Smart Sheep Wool Dryer Balls - 6-Pack - XL Premium Natural Fabric Softener Award-Winning - Wool Balls Replaces Dryer Sheets - Wool Balls for Dryer - Laundry Balls for Dryer : Health & Household

Review: 1 Year and Still Works Like New - Initial Use: I don't specifically check how many I put in; depending on my load size or other factors, I toss in all six to keep them consistent and replace all of them equally. I bought these to reduce the need to buy dryer sheets due to allergies, cost, and environmental concerns; it just feels wasteful to dispose of so many dryer sheets. I don't put essential oils on them, but you can if you wish to add some scent. However, I use them as it is for consistency. They do make a little sound in the dryer, but that is to be expected. In terms of drying time, they have significantly reduced the drying time of most of my clothes and items, while also effectively reducing static, comparable to the effect of a dryer sheet. It is easier to find these dryer balls because I can feel them, in case they get stuck in your clothes, compared to dryer sheets, which can be challenging to locate. It's significantly better than dryer sheets in almost every way possible. At the end of the day, you will need to find these dryer sheets in your clothes, just as you would see the dryer balls, but this time, you can reuse them. The initial price to buy these is not an excuse not to buy them, as dryer balls are only slightly more expensive than dryer sheets, ranging from $5 to $10. You'll save money in just a few months. The company is ethical in its production practices, and the individuals who make them are paid a livable wage, which is fantastic. But overall, the durability is excellent so far, with no signs of shedding. I plan to continue using these for at least 2-3 more years, as I have a considerable amount of laundry to dry regularly. Store these in a mesh bag or a well-ventilated area to prevent mold buildup. Overall Impressions: If you haven't used these yet, please do so; they are a massive game-changer in the long term!
Review: Love these dryer balls. - This is the first time I’ve tried wool dryer balls so I didn’t know know what to expect. I really like them. Takes less time to dry a load of laundry and they do not have static. Highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Pet hair help?**
A: I have 2 cats one long haired and these work great.  The air pockets created allow the hair to go to the vent. 90% less pet hair on cloths but dryer filter requires attention after every load.

**Q: How often do they need replaced and what are the signs that they are too old?**
A: Hello!  Great question!  The dryer balls will probably need to replaced every 2-4 years depending on how often you do laundry.  They do collect lint and pet hair (which keeps this stuff off your clothes) and you can remove lint and make them look clean and new again by giving them a shave.  (http://www.amazon.com/Remington-Battery-Operated-Fabric-Shaver/dp/B0034BV6KA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413218874&sr=8-1&keywords=wool+shaver)  This is optional though.Very very slowly, over time, your dryer balls will pill and shrink.  When they start to get too small to be effective, that is when you'll want to buy new balls.  It won't happen overnight and your balls will still work, just not as well.  You should be good for at least 2 years though and probably more.  Thanks for your question!!

**Q: Can you wash these?**
A: Ok, I just washed all of my dryer balls and they survived, admirably. I washed them in hot water with Sam's Club Ultimate Clean Liquid Laundry Detergent, no fabric softener. I dried them under very high heat in the dryer—and they did NOT unravel. Think about it. If you wash a wool sweater in hot water (like my x-wife would do) the sweater shrinks. Then if you put that sweater in the dryer with high heat, it will shrink even more. They are fantastic, and I never took them out of the dryer, just added the clothing that needed to be dried on top.

**Q: Will the Smart Sheep Balls fluff a down quilt while drying?**
A: I agree with answer above. Drying down really depends on having a lot of space in the dryer. I’ve dried a huge down comforter in my front-load dryer at home. It worked ok, just took a couple of days of drying and repositioning the comforter inside the dryer. Would have been faster to go to the laundromat with the wool balls and use one of their ginormous dryers, but eventually worked at home. That said, I love these for every dryer load. They definitely reduce dry time!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these dryer balls.
*by L***Y on February 6, 2026*

This is the first time I’ve tried wool dryer balls so I didn’t know know what to expect. I really like them. Takes less time to dry a load of laundry and they do not have static. Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 year life span!
*by O***E on January 26, 2026*

According to Amazon, I bought these in March of 2016. I am JUST NOW replacing them. After almost10 years, the outside of a few of them are coming apart. They still work great but I figured it was time to let these guys retire. I don't recall any smell when I first bought them so I just put them in the dryer. Frankly, I'm amazed we didn't lose any of them over the years. We keep all 6 in the dryer and just plop the wet clothes on top and start the dryer. I noticed an immediate difference with lint, wrinkles, and static. At the same time, I also switched to fragrance and dye free detergents and replaced fabric softener with vinegar. My clothes look, feel, and smell soft, clean, and fresh. I can tell an immediate difference when I visited family and did my laundry there.
