Care & FAQS
How to use dryer balls:
Simply toss 3 dryer balls per medium sized load into the dryer with your wet clothes. Then turn on the dryer as usual. Beau Laundry Co.'s dryer balls work by tumbling your clothes during the cycle, helping to reduce clumping and dry them faster, while leaving a soft coating and unique scent.
Common Questions
Should I wash my dryer balls?
No, washing Beau Laundry Co. dryer balls will remove the softener coating and/or fragrance. Just make sure clean the hair and lint off of them after each use.
If you have classic dryer balls (no scent or softener), washing will only reduce the lifespan.
Overall, there is no need to wash dryer balls.
What if I have sensitive skin?
Both the laundry soap and all variants of the dryer balls we sell are made with sensitive skin in mind. We have had over 500+ customers with all kinds of skin conditions rave about how our products work with their skin type.
What's the difference between your dryer balls and dryer sheets?
Our dryer balls are make to last a long time, whereas dryer sheets are a 1 time use plastic sheet. Both products will soften clothes, reduce static, and reduce wrinkles, but Beau Laundry Co. dryer balls are 100% wool and coated in a plant based softener. Compared to dryer sheets, which contain microplastics and hormone disruptors, our dryer balls are the safer alternative for your laundry routine.
Why is the thumping coming from my dryer?
Our dryer balls are coated in a plant based softener. This creates a hard shell around the soft dryer ball, and will wear away over time as the coating wears off.
Will these damage my clothes?
Nope! While our dryer balls are louder than most, they wont damage clothes in the dryer. Make sure to do an average sized load of laundry to get the full benefit of our dryer balls!
How can I make the scent stronger?
You can make the scent stronger by purchasing a scent booster from our store. This will allow you to customize the scent strength. Simply add 5-7 drops per dryer ball and toss directly into the dryer.
Can I use scent beads and also use dryer balls?
It is not recommended to use an differently scented in-wash scent booster. The scent from the scent booster will infuse into the dryer ball and ruin the scent overtime.
How long do the coatings last?
While the balls themselves are good for 1000+ loads, the coatings will last around 6 months, assuming 2-3 loads per week.
When should I replace the dryer balls?
You should replace your dryer balls if you notice more static than usual in your laundry, the scent starts to go away, you'd like to try a new scent, or the dryer ball starts to lose its form.
Is the Laundry Soap okay for HE machines?
Our laundry soap is designed for all machines, new or old. Simply toss up to 5 scoops directly into the drum and throw the clothes on top!
