Many people already know dryer balls are a laundry dryer’s best friend. They shorten drying time, function as more environmentally-conscious alternatives to dryer sheets, and prevent garments from being static. I’ve tried various wool dryer balls from Trader Joe’s to Parachute (a popular bedding brand), and I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re practically the same. They’re all tennis ball-sized wool balls, and they all do the same thing. So, it really comes down to the unit price, packaging, and the number of balls per bag.
According to Nellie’s, dryer balls benefit you by
- Shortening drying time
- Softening fabrics
- Reducing wrinkles without the use of nasty chemicals
I bought Nellie’s Lamby Dryerballs along with my other Nellie’s cleaning products that I regularly buy. My old dryer balls didn’t seem to be doing their jobs anymore, so it was about time I replaced them.
Nellie’s Lamby Dryerballs are cuter than other dryer balls because each ball has a lamb’s face stamped on it. I’ll have to see how these stamps hold over time, but I must say, they’re super cute!
Like most Nellie’s products, these dryer balls come in Nellie’s signature tin case. I love Nellie’s packaging because it reminds me of the nostalgic ’50s or ‘60s. Although I wasn’t around during that time, I feel like people had these tin cases back in the day.
The design of this tin case got its motif from a washing machine (or a dryer), a fitting container design for dryer balls, in my opinion. I find this tin case display-worthy and much better-looking than the canvas bags that most dryer balls come in. When you first buy these dryer balls, you note to yourself that you’d use this cute little canvas bag in the future – maybe for traveling. And then you forget that it ever existed in your linen closet, right? Or is it just me? Ha! Anyway, this cute little tin case is sitting on the folding station in my laundry room as décor.
You can also reuse the case as a coin bank.
A little tip for ultimately good-smelling laundry? Add a few drops of essential oil (my favorites are lavender and eucalyptus) directly onto the dryer balls before starting a drying cycle. The aroma will transfer to the garment without oil staining, and you do not have to use scented dryer sheets this way. Here’s another tip. I put my comforter and run a short, air-fluff cycle in the dryer when I can’t sleep. I toss in the dryer balls, and the comforter is perfectly fluffed, toasty and scented in calming lavender. It really helps me sleep.
