- ENERGY-SAVING: Wool Dryer Balls can reduce your laundry drying time up to 30%. On laundry day, this means a lot of saved time and energy. In fact, it means up to 18 minutes less drying time for every hour. These wool dryer balls keep the laundry tumbling freely, giving better airflow and heat circulation, which speeds up the drying process.
- SAFE FABRIC SOFTENING: Most fabric softeners and plastic dryer balls release harmful ingredients into home and the environment. These wool dryer balls contain no harsh ingredients or fragrences. They only contain — you guessed it — wool! These balls will gently fluff the fibers of your laundry, keeping your linens, towels, and clothing naturally soft and reducing wrinkles.
- CRUELTY-FREE: The wool for these dryer balls is sourced from small farms in New Zealand that practice humane farming and shearing techniques. These small farms are sustainable and eco-responsible, and the manufacturing processes are too. Certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny.
- SUSTAINABLY SOURCED AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE: The wool is naturally cleaned and hand-felted by a fair-wage factory in Nepal. This business provides work and fair wages for underprivileged women and mothers in rural areas. From start to finish, these wool dryer balls are safe for the environment, sustainably manufactured, and help provide fair jobs and opportunities for people all over the world.
- WHAT’S INCLUDED: You’ll receive six (6) 100% sheep’s wool dryer balls in a printed muslin bag for storage. Each wool ball lasts approximately 1,000 loads. For your average home, this is 3 years! Because these wool dryer balls are manufactured without toxic dyes or chlorine bleaching, you may see some natural variation in color.
Dryer sheets contribute to landfills and are well-known for causing skin reactions in those with sensitive skin. Dryer balls are eco-friendly and reduce static and wrinkles. To never have static again, consider switching your clothes to all natural materials, such as cotton, linen, and wool!

4. laundry powder
- SAFER INGREDIENTS: Pronounce Laundry Powder is made with 5 core ingredients. If you choose one of our scented variations, we only add therapeutic grade essential oils. Pronounce Laundry Powder is free of artificial fragrances, SLS, optical brighteners, parabens, synthetic dyes, or ingredients that don’t belong in our homes.
- 120 LOADS FOR MORE VALUE: Add just one scoop for standard loads and two scoops for heavy soil or large loads. Stop paying for water. Traditional liquid detergent is 80-90% water. By removing this, we are able to achieve 120 loads per bag.
- SAFER FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY: Pronounce Laundry Powder was designed to be safer for everyone in the family. Available in unscented, as well as three simple scents with only essential oils.
- HE WASHER SUITABLE: Pronounce Laundry Powder is suitable for Standard, commercial, and HE washing machines. We utilize a small number of straightforward ingredients with low sudsing properties to create a safer detergent alternative that effectively cleans garments. Septic safe.
- PACKAGED IN THE USA: We are proud to source nearly every ingredient and component of the product from the United States. Additionally, it is packaged in the United States! A portion of each sale is also donated to clean water charities to provide clean drinking water right here in the United States.
Liquid detergent is the worst! It’s packed with harmful chemicals, contains more water than anything, and clogs washing machines. (This I know from experience!) Laundry powder cleans better and is safer for your washing machine.

MORE SUSTAINABILITY TIPS:
- Avoid using fruit/veggie bags at the grocery store! Use none or bring your own – you’tre going to wash them at home anyways!
- Carry your own re-usable shopping bag with you at all times.
- Unplug electronics when not in use and before bed.
- Try to walk or ride a bike instead of driving. Or use public transportation if available.
- Recycle or upcycle!
Eating organic, avoiding fast fashion, stopping animal lab testing, and becoming more sustainable have become top priorities these days, and I love it so much!
Switching to more sustainable products doesn’t have to be a leap – you can start small and swap out a few items here and there until you find what works for you. Just try to be more plastic aware as you’re shopping and you’re off to a great start!
