This is a review of Extra Large Wool Dryer Balls "“ Purchased through the Handy Laundry Store. I didn't notice any scent or freshness. The clothes were less wrinkled, towels were extremely fluffy and it seemed like drying time was shorter than normal. These are extra large. I read some reviews where purchasers ordered extra large wool balls but when they arrived they were disappointed. These won't disappoint you. Also the storage bag is an extra bonus. It's very handy when I want to use the dark wool balls with colored or dark clothes. I am so pleased with these I purchased six more for my sister.

I've used dryer sheets for a long time and thought I would give the balls a try. I'm glad I did. I had read a few negative articles about the sheets. The balls work just fine.

As I age I have found that products I use to use in the laundry just don't make good friends with my skin and allergies, plus some of it just plain stinks.
Anyway"¦I've had wool laundry balls before and really liked them-they were claimed by a few random dogs I happen to own and that was the end of them.
Now, the ever smarter dog parent I have become, I've decided to repurchase (a larger quantity) and go back to using wool balls again.
Very happy with the size, they are about the size of a baseball, and have a nice weight to them as well. I use 3 on my regular loads and bed sheets, and 5-6 on towels, heavy loads, and blankets. I wouldn't say they make my clothes soft like they were with dryer sheets, but they feel cleaner than when I've used dryer sheets and still comfortable. No residue, no conditioners and no dryer sheet marks from where they got stuck to something.
I've seen other say their clothes smell like wool or sheep, but I've not experienced this. The balls themselves do smell woolly, but it's a clean smell and not strong at all and has not transferred to my laundry. You can buy essential oils or laundry oils to fragrance the balls, but I avoid that personally.
I've used the same 3-6 balls in probably at least a dozen loads of various weights without any fuzzing or fraying, they still hold their shape and heft. These will last me a long time but should my wool balls somehow become doggie slobber balls, I absolutely will repurchase. Highly recommend!

I have used these a couple of times now and I am thoroughly impressed with the amount of time it takes to dry a large load of clothes. No static and wrinkle free. Definitely worth the purchase.

These do not leave any scent on the clothes. The clothes are pretty much wrinkle free if you remove them as soon as dryer is done. There is no film left on the clothes as there is sometimes with the dryer sheets. The balls work great when drying down-filled jackets that need agitation when they are drying to fluff up the down inside, its way better than putting tennis balls in the dryer and listening to them pound around until the load is done ! These balls are lighter than tennis balls so the sound is minimal. I recommend using them.
