Something we don’t give a second thought to may actually be harming us and is certainly an environmental concern. Ye old dryer sheet! Who knew? I certainly didn’t. Dryer sheets are chock full o’ chemicals and take years to break down in the land fill. Dryer sheets also coat the fibers of our clothing, inhibiting their ability to breathe or absorb.
What’s the alternative? Well, we found a wonderful option in our own backyard! Stoney Mountain Farm out of Burlington, North Carolina uses their farm-grown wool to create dryer balls. The benefits of a dryer ball are plentiful – they create loft in the dryer, distributing heat evenly, reducing drying time (and reducing your energy bill!). They end up costing less to use than traditional dryer sheets. Wool dryer balls are quieter than plastic balls and, being soft, won’t damage the sensor in your dryer as plastic ones have reportedly done.
Wool dryer balls are chemical and dye-free, better for your clothes and safe for your dryer, better for the earth, PLUS they’re not only made in America but in North Carolina!
Stop by our Housewares department and ask for Stoney Mountain Farm wool dryer balls.
