How To Add Essential Oil To Dryer Balls: The Complete Guide

We all have to do laundry – but some of us take the task a bit more seriously. We want the most eco-friendly, natural approach – that still leaves our clothing smelling clean and fresh. Natural detergents are a great start – but what can be done about those chemical-laden dryer sheets so many of us are still using?

It’s true – dryer sheets present a problem. Not only are they filled with chemicals, but the single-use aspect makes them a non-eco-friendly approach to laundry, fortunately, there is a solution.

Wool dryer balls are completely eco-friendly and safe to use. An added bonus is that, unlike dryer sheets, they are completely free of harmful chemicals. But they are unscented – until you add your own essential oils, that is. Today, we’re going to teach you how to add essential oil to dryer balls. It’s as simple as putting a few drops of your desired blend or single essential oil to the ball and putting it in your dryer as you would a dryer sheet – simple as that!

However, we’re going to take things a step further – and share some of the best essential oil for dryer balls with you. From unique DIY blends, you can craft to single oils, we’ve got something for everyone. Let’s talk a bit more about wool dryer balls first.

What Are Wool Dryer Balls?

Dryer balls replace dryer sheets in the laundry cycle. When thrown into the dryer, the balls bounce around, circulating hot air through the clothes. This is a more efficient way of drying clothes. They also reduce drying time because the wool balls absorb moisture. This also helps stabilize humidity levels in the machine which in turn keeps your clothes static-free. It is also a natural fabric softener.

Can You Put Essential Oil On Dryer Balls?

Now that you know what these are, you’re probably wondering – can you put essential oil on dryer balls? As a matter of fact, yes you can! Not only is it entirely safe and possible. But, it is actually recommended. The reason is that wool dryer balls have no fragrance on their own. Your laundry won’t come out smelling as good as you’re used to.

Why Should You Add Essential Oil To Dryer Balls Instead Of Using Dryer Sheets?

We know what you’re thinking – this all sounds like a lot of work. Why should I even learn how to add essential oil to dryer balls instead of using dryer sheets?
