How to Use Dryer Balls

Dryer balls are used as an alternative to the traditional dryer sheet. Dryer sheets are not reusable while dryer balls can be used repeatedly. When you put dryer balls into your clothes dryer, you will find that your clothes come out extremely soft.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Purchase a pair of dryer balls. Most dryer balls come in a pair. You are to use two dryer balls at a time. You can find dryer balls online for under $10.
2. Read the instructions that come along with the dryer balls. You also want to take them out of any packaging that they come in.
3. Take your clothes out of the washer. Put the clothes into the dryer and then throw in the dryer balls.
4. Start the drying cycle. Set the time for less time than you normally dry your clothes. Dryer balls are designed to cut down on the amount of time that a dryer takes to work.
5. Replace them every few years. On average, a pair of dryer balls should last you about five years. If they begin to fall apart sooner, get a new pair.
