Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to single-use plastic dryer sheets, Friendsheep Eco Dryer Balls - Eco Vegan Dryers offer a zero-waste lifecycle and eliminate the need for synthetic fragrances and chemical coatings. While plastic dryer balls can be loud and prone to cracking, these cotton alternatives provide a much quieter tumbling experience and superior moisture absorption. Unlike wool dryer balls, these are completely hypoallergenic and contain no lanolin, making them safer for those with extreme skin sensitivities.

What to know before buying

1. Verify that your dryer is not overloaded to allow the balls to circulate and separate fabrics.
2. Expect a slight reduction in drying time, usually between 15% and 30% depending on the load size.
3. Note that because they are made of cotton, they may take slightly longer to dry themselves compared to synthetic versions.
4. Consider adding a few drops of organic essential oils directly to the balls if you prefer a scented laundry experience.
