Top energy Saving Tip

Use dryer balls in your tumble dryer.

Dryerballs reduce tumble drying time by 25%, saving you money on running costs and reducing your carbon footprint if you are finding you need to use the tumble dryer a lot. They also soften clothes naturally without fabric softeners (ideal for cotton nappies which tend to go scratchy in time).

The different coloured Dryerballs have different tensile strengths and different shaped softening nodes. They work together in the tumble dryer to mechanically soften fabrics without the harmful chemicals found in fabric softener and dryer sheets. The dryerballs lift and separate the laundry whilst drying, thus reducing drying time and creasing. The dryerballs also retain the heat and transfer it to the clothes as they tumble, speeding up the drying process.

Dryerballs are completely non-toxic and allergy-free, they are an environmentally friendly way to soften your laundry.
