AF Wool Dryer Balls are the delivery surface for AF Dryer Drops. Add a few drops of essential oil to the balls before the cycle. The balls carry the scent through your load while cutting dry time and softening fabric naturally. No synthetic fragrance. No single-use dryer sheets.
2 large wool dryer balls per pack. Made from 100% New Zealand wool. Works in all dryer types.
How the scent system works
- Wash your clothes with any AF detergent for unscented, clean laundry
- Add 3 to 5 drops of AF Dryer Drops essential oil to each wool ball
- Toss the balls in the dryer with your clean laundry
- Clothes come out lightly scented, naturally softened
Clean in the wash, scent in the dryer. Scent goes onto fabric that is already fully clean instead of layering on top of soap residue and fragrance buildup.
Why wool dryer balls over dryer sheets
- Reusable set. A pair of wool dryer balls replaces hundreds of single-use dryer sheets.
- Faster dry times. Wool balls agitate the load and separate fabrics, which improves airflow.
- Natural fabric softening. The wool fibers gently work against fabric to reduce static and soften without chemical coatings.
- No residue on performance gear. Conventional dryer sheets coat fibers with a wax-like softener.
- Pair with any scent. Use any AF Dryer Drops scent, or use the balls unscented for zero-fragrance drying.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Do AF Wool Dryer Balls work without AF Dryer Drops?
A: Yes. You can use the wool balls with no scent at all. They still soften fabric and reduce static. AF Dryer Drops are the optional scent layer when you want it.
Q: How many drops of Dryer Drops should I use per ball?
A: 3 to 5 drops per ball is the sweet spot for most loads. For a lighter scent, use 2 to 3 drops. For heavier items like towels or bedding, use up to 5 drops per ball. You can mix scents across balls for a custom blend.
Q: Will wool dryer balls cause pilling on my clothes?
A: No. The balls are made from tightly felted wool and will not cause pilling on normal fabrics. They may slightly accelerate surface pilling on fabrics that already had existing pills.
Q: How do I refresh the wool balls when they lose effectiveness?
A: Toss them in a hot wash cycle in a mesh bag, then put them in the dryer on high heat. This re-felts the wool and restores their texture.
Q: Are these compatible with activewear in the dryer?
A: Yes, for activewear you intend to dry. Always check care labels. Many athletic synthetics should be air-dried; use the wool balls with items that are dryer-safe.
Nice. That's in.
Complete the setup? Both optional. The detergent handles the wash on its own.
Clean in the wash. Scent in the dryer.
This detergent is unscented on purpose. Five plant-derived ingredients, including an enzyme blend that pulls sweat and body oil out of the fabric instead of sealing it in. Want scent? Add it in the dryer with AF Dryer Drops, on already-clean fabric.
