3-Pack Dryer Balls
Remove 10 pieces of plastic!
Save the planet (and your money) with eco-friendly dryer balls!
One way to make laundry day as eco-friendly as possible is to use dryer balls. With wool dryer balls, you can ditch single-use chemical dryer sheets, reduce drying time by 20%, and dry your clothes using less energy.
No chemicals, no fragrances, just pure organic cruelty-free, and Leaping Bunny certified New Zealand wool. For a fragrant twist, add your own essential oil blend. You can check out our favorite essential oil combos in our downloadable free guide!
Dryer Balls are built to last—each one can handle over 1,000 loads, and last for years. You'll know it's time to replace them when the felt starts to loosen, and the balls become softer, larger, or begin to unravel.
Handcrafted in Nepal by fair-trade artisans, the dryer balls and unbleached cotton drawstring bag are 100% home compostable. Even the user manual is printed on recycled paper.
Consider giving your old dryer balls a second life before composting. Add a few drops of essential oil and use them as natural drawer or closet fresheners. Or, hand them over to your pets—they make great toys!
The more, the merrier? Yep! In general, the more dryer balls you use, the better they work for any load size. For small loads, use three wool laundry dryer balls; six for medium to large loads; and up to a dozen for extra-large loads. Using more helps any size load dry faster. Over-drying your clothes can cause static buildup, so get to know your new dryer timing to minimize static.
Care: If your dryer balls need cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. You can add a bit of soap or sanitizer if needed. For a deeper clean, hand wash them in lukewarm, soapy water.

Our Approach to Wool & Animal Welfare
At Free the Ocean, animal welfare is paramount. Some of our items, such as wool blankets or alpaca mittens, are made from natural fibers that come from domesticated animals like sheep and alpacas.
Animals like these have been bred for centuries to grow thick, abundant fleece. Because of this, they must be shorn regularly, particularly before warmer months. Shearing helps prevent heat stress and supports the animal’s overall health and comfort. If fleece is not removed, it can become heavy and matted, trapping dirt and moisture and potentially leading to skin infections, parasite infestations, reduced mobility, and even starvation.
To ensure responsible sourcing, we require that the artisans and producers we work with follow humane animal care practices. Our standards include:
• Animal care must strictly follow humane treatment, responsible ownership, and mulesing-free practices.
• Wool and other fibers must come from domesticated animals that benefit from regular shearing as part of their normal care.
• We do not sell products made from wild animals.
• We do not sell cosmetic or other products that have been tested on animals.
By working with partners who prioritize ethical treatment and responsible practices, we aim to offer products that align with our values while supporting artisans and natural materials.
I've purchased 6 types of FTO 3-Pack Dryer Balls (Cool and Black Cats, Penguin, Sloth, Koala and Seal. I mixed and matched, keeping 2 sets for myself, gifting the others. I and the recipients previously used dryer sheets. Now after using the 3-Pack dryers balls for a year we have all been and continue to be thrilled with their performance and the results of our laundry after being dried - less static, wrinkles and shorter drying time with no chemicals. I must mention the advantages to our environment in their components, location of manufacture and 1 tree planted for every set sold along with plastic-free shipping and packaging. Another big win for FTO.
After reading about harmful chemicals in fabric softener sheets, I decided to try these…they work like a charm and leave my clothes nice and soft without the worry! I’m glad it’s helping the environment!
works well and nice size and material
This is the second set I have gotten and just love them
Haven’t started using them yet. My Bounce sheets are just about gone.
This is the second time that I've purchased these wool balls from Free the ocean and I have not been disappointed yet. They last for years.
Have used these for years. You can recycle them. I use Ridwell to recycle stuff and free the ocean for everything I can including washing machine soap sheets
Work Well
I'll order again
This is the first time I ordered dryer balls from Free The Ocean. I stopped using dryer sheets a LONG time ago. I have used other dryer balls in the past for many years and it seemed that they were no longer very efficient. I have now used these FTO dryer balls twice with a load of towels and it is not clear to me if they have shortened drying time. Next I'll try using then on a less heavy load.
I really like the dryer balls I purchased (lavender field and butterfly). The are very clean looking and have zero scent and that's what I was lookng for. They are also well-made so I don't think they will start to fall apart as some previous dryer balls (bought at a craft fair) have done. The packaging is good and lastly, they're pretty. I have already bought more with different designs to give as Christmas gifts.
I love using this as an alternative to the dryer sheets. It made clean up easy and its so cute.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! As a small business, your support means the world to us. Your review motivates our team, and plays a real role in helping us move closer to our mission of freeing the ocean from plastic.
Appreciate you,

I love these balls. My laundry is so soft after a spin in the dryer with these. A definite buy if you are looking to save money and get rid of those yucky dryer sheets!!
Love these dryer balls. Think I’m on my fourth set, always a different design. I’ve also bought them as gifts for my dog & cat friends.
Loved the pictures on the dryer balls. Bought for myself, ended up using as part of a gift for a good friends Birthday. Since she's into nature just know she'll love them.
Love the lilac and butterfly design. They will be a present for a friend. Then I will suggest she use the old one for her dog’s play toy. I am going to try to add an oil to one to see how the clothes smell.
Love the way they look; my clothes seem to have dried in less time and came out nice and soft.
I love these! They are a gift for a friend so I look forward to giving these to her.

These dryer balls are excellent. They keep wrinkles from forming and also help to keep my clothes soft. In the winter also helps to prevent static electricity from forming on clothes.
This is my 4th or 5th purchase. I purchase different ones each time. Last forever!
These dryer balls result in completely dried and softened items
I’ve only started using these cute balls last week, but I’ve heard that they may help soften your laundry. If they do, then no more buying softer.
I was not certain that these dryer balls would work to stop static cling and I have been greatly surprised! They do a wonderful job!
I.love these dryer balls so much! This is my third set plus I ordered the kitties for my sister. Great product!
I love using the dryer balls. I just purchased a new set, as my older ones needed replacing after 3 years. They are better for the environment and more cost effective than the dryer sheets I used in the past. I would recommend using these! So many cute designs to choose from too!
These are absolutely wonderful and cute. No need to forchemical expensive dryer sheets.
They were gifts and I have not had any reports of using them. They looked great.
These make a perfect gift. I buy these every year for all my friends and they love them. They are very durable and last longer than they are supposed to, I just recently bought new ones after two years of constant use. NEVER stop making these!
I like to these dryer balls because they are very dense and tight so they will last for a long time. I purchased the seals and they are so cute. And they support an amazing cause, as does all these products!
I purchased these for gifts
Attractive and work perfectly. Definitely part of my ongoing laundry routine. Thanks!!
