Wool Dryer Balls – Chem Free Laundry

Last week I posted the Homemade Laundry Detergent recipe and tips I use for clean chemical free laundry, but I forgot to mention how the laundry stays chemical free in the dryer too. Do you know what chemicals are in a dryer sheet? Me either, I tried to find out and it is a mystery. It’s no mystery that whatever ingredients are used to make them ends up all over your clothes and in turn ends up all over our bodies.

According to these name brands, their “agents” disperse all through your drying laundry.

“During the tumbling of the dryer, fabric care agents are transferred from the Bounce® dryer sheet to the surface of fabrics. These fabric care agents have a lubricating effect that causes fibers to feel smooth.”

“As your clothes tumble dry, Gain Dryer Sheets tumble around too, dispersing the fabric softener and fresh Gain scent all through your drying clothes. Dryer sheets are coated in ingredients that also reduce the electric charge in clothes.”

I like to know what I am wearing, and unknown chemicals are not on the acceptable list, so I started using Procizion Wool Dryer Balls for our laundry. They are 100% organic wool, so I have peace of mind knowing there are no chemicals in my laundry. I have had these same dryer balls since October 2016 and they are still going strong, so for under $16 for a 6 pack, I have peace of mind and money in the bank. For an added bonus you can add a drop or two of essential oils to the ball if you desire some additional scent to your fresh laundry.
