Swap Out Dryer Sheets for Dryer Balls
Wool dryer balls are a one-two punch of sustainable materials and energy efficiency. Deployed in lieu of single-use dryer sheets (which are often loaded with toxic chemicals linked to respiratory and nervous-system distress and made of polyester that’ll stick around forever), they combat static and wrinkles just as effectively and can reduce your drying time by an estimated 10-25 percent per load. Another bonus: These triple-felted balls are upcycled from old wool sweaters. (You can also make your own using a wool sweater or wool yarn.)
