I love great smelling laundry, but not enough to deal with all the chemicals that are in dryer sheets. Now I don’t have to! I adore these DIY Dryer Balls! Now my laundry smells amazing.
The Quality of The Essential Oils You Use Matters!
I’ve tried most every essential oil company out there, and I am thrilled to recommend Plant Therapy as my preferred company!
After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I’ve fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They are serious about safety and go to great lengths to test every single batch to ensure purity!

DIY Dryer Balls
100% Wool Yarn
Essential Oils (I like lavender or Orange)
Wrap the yarn around two fingers 15 times. Pinch the bundle in the center and pull it off of your fingers.
Working in the other direction, wrap the yarn around the center of the bundle 15 times. Continue wrapping, alternating directions, until you
have a ball the size of a tennis ball. Cut the end of the yarn and tuck the end under several layers of yarn. You may make multiple balls as you want.
Place balled in a sock or old pair of pantyhose. Wash with other laundry on high heat and dry on the hottest setting. You want the balls to felt, to the point you can no longer separate individual
strings of yarn. You may need to wash and dry a second time. Or a third.
To use, add 5 drops of essential oil to the ball and toss into the dry with wet laundry.
To use, add to the dryer with wet clothes.
Instead of vinegar soaked fabric sheets with essential oil as fabric softener, do you think soaked dryer balls would work equally well? Just wondered as they’d be ready to go if many were already in a jar.
I haven’t tried it but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work.
