How do dryer balls work?

Dryer balls separate the laundry and allow air to circulate optimally between the items in the dryer. This can reduce drying time by up to 25 % and helps save energy. Because the laundry does not stay in one large clump when used together with dryer balls, fibres and down have the opportunity to lift back up and relax.

Why do I need to use 4 dryer balls?

Using 4 dryer balls ensures there is enough friction. This helps the laundry dry faster because the heat is distributed more evenly. It also creates more movement in the dryer, allowing the fibres of the laundry to unfold better and making the laundry softer and less wrinkled.

Do dryer balls leave colour marks?

bluu dryer balls should not leave any colour marks. However, we do not recommend using tennis balls instead of dryer balls, as they could in fact leave colour marks. That is why we recommend using bluu balls to be on the safe side.

How long do dryer balls last?

Our dryer balls last for around 1000 drying cycles.

Are there tests proving the effectiveness of dryer balls?

Yes, dryer balls were tested for effectiveness by a laboratory. The test showed a reduction in drying time of up to 25 %. In addition, laundry dried with dryer balls was softer and had fewer wrinkles.
