Why you should switch to Dryer Balls & Dryer Sachets!

Its time to ditch dryer sheets and fabric softeners for good! These products often contain harsh chemicals that can pollute the air and contaminate water and soil. Not to mention, these chemicals can be harmful to your health and skin! But don't settle for laundry that isn't fresh and fluffy! Tested and approved by our staff and their families, we've made the switch to Lavender Dryer Sachets and Dryer Balls! Learn more about these products and why you should give them a try!

What are Lavender Dryer Sachets?

Lavender Dryer Sachets are small pouches of fabric that contain dried lavender buds. Our Lavender Dryer Sachets are made using 100% cotton fabric and Secret Garden-grown lavender buds. Our dryer sachets come in sets of three, but it's up to you how many to include in a single load! More sachets = stronger scent!

What are Dryer Balls?

Dryer Balls are each about the size of a tennis ball and are typically used in sets of 2-4. Our Dryer Balls are handmade using recycled wool sweaters as a core and felted wool on the outside. Each dryer ball represents wool material that has been upcycled into a product that will last for years! Lavender Essential Oil is included with each set of Dryer Balls!

Why use Lavender Dryer Sachets?

When scrunched and heated by the dryer, Lavender Dryer Sachets release essential oil that makes your laundry smell fresh and floral! Dryer sachets mitigate the need for dryer sheets because they scent your laundry and help collect static! 

Why use Dryer Balls?

When placed in your dryer, Dryer Balls bounce around the drum to break up clumped laundry and allow for better air circulation. This helps decrease drying time and reduce electricity use. Dab drops of essential oil on your dryer balls to scent your laundry!

Make the Switch for the Planet!

Dryer sheets and fabric softeners contain harsh chemicals that can be released into the air, water, and soil! The chemicals in fabric softener are applied to your laundry before being washed out with the dirty water. Depending on where you live, this water is then treated in a city water system or contained in a septic system. There is always potential for these chemicals to be leached into soil and other water bodies and systems.
Dryer sheets are not much better! They not only create unnecessary waste that cannot be recycled, but the heat activated chemicals that collects static and release fragrance chemicals can pollute the air in your home and have an impact on your health.

Make the Switch for Your Health!

Those same chemicals that can pollute the air and water, can be harmful to your skin, lungs, and even your reproductive system! When breathed in or put in contact with your skin, chemicals like quaternary ammonium compounds, fragrances, preservatives, and colors can have long lasting impacts. Many of these chemicals can be triggers for asthma or respiratory allergies. Other concerns include skin irritants/allergic reactions, impacts on your reproductive system, and even potential links to cancer (Geller, 2016).
