A set of three 100 percent New Zealand wool dryer balls from Dirty Labs, a fragrance-free laundry brand. Tossed in with a load, they bounce between fabrics to separate layers and speed up drying, which trims cycle time and softens clothes without the coatings left behind by disposable dryer sheets. They cut static and are reusable for hundreds of loads, and you can add a few drops of essential oil to one ball if you want light scent. Best for households moving away from single-use sheets or anyone drying bulky loads like towels and bedding.

Frequently asked questions
How many loads do they last?
Wool dryer balls typically last for hundreds of loads before they start to unravel, which is why they replace an ongoing dryer-sheet purchase.
Do they make clothes smell like anything?
No, they are fragrance-free. If you want a light scent, add a couple of drops of essential oil to one ball before the cycle.
Do they really speed up drying?
They bounce between items to keep layers separated, which improves airflow and can shorten drying time, especially on bulky loads like towels.
