Did you know laundry dryer sheets contain endocrine disruptors? What natural alternative could you use instead…to get even better results? Wool dryer balls with essential oils!

 Sister Dexterity wool dryer balls with pure essential oils set


Do you ever walk around your neighborhood, expecting to enjoy the fresh, natural aromas of green grass and leafy trees that line your block? But instead, you smell the sickening-sweet odor of fabric softener and dryer sheets pumping out of your neighbors’ clothes dryer exhausts?

It’s more than just a smell. A study from the University of Washington noted 15 substances in dryer sheets tested, including two carcinogens, and several neurotoxins and respiratory irritants. In a study of products that contain endocrine disruptors and asthma-associated substances, dryer sheets were named as one of the products with the highest concentrations of endocrine disruptors.


If you have been using fabric softener and/or dryer sheets yourself and for your family when you do your laundry, know that they work by depositing a thin layer of chemical softener onto fabrics, and these layers can build up over time. This buildup on your towels and your clothes then goes directly on your skin. If you’ve been trying to follow a healthy lifestyle, imagine laying carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and neurotoxins on your skin and breathing it into your lungs. But millions of people are doing just that.


What’s the answer? Pure wool dryer balls are a natural alternative to fabric softener and dryer sheets. Pure wool dryer balls offer these benefits:

~ While fabric softeners and dryer sheets are full of chemicals and artificial perfumes, wool dryer balls are natural and made from a renewable resource. 

~ Dryer sheets are used once and thrown away. Wool dryer balls can be used 1,000 times. 

~ Fabric softeners build up, especially on your towels. Wool dryer balls won’t reduce the absorbency of your towels.

~ Wool dryer balls flick moisture away from your clothes and linens and can reduce drying time by 25 percent.

~ Wool dryer balls are quiet. Using old tennis balls or vinyl dryer balls are noisy and can produce a rubbery smell.

~ Wool dryer balls fluff your clothes and help reduce static and wrinkles.


Using pure, natural, plant-based essential oils on wool dryer balls complete the non-toxic, holistic laundry experience, replacing the artificial, chemical fragrances used in fabric softeners and dryer sheets. 



My new cottage operation, Sister Dexterity, offers an attractive and easy-to-use dryer ball set to get your laundry going in the natural direction. Each Sister Dexterity Dryer Ball Set contains:

~ Three natural, hypoallergenic dryer balls made from 100% New Zealand wool, using no dyes or chemicals.

~ Bottle with 5 ml of my signature dryer ball drops made totally of the highest quality, pure essential oils (lavender, lemon, lemongrass and eucalyptus) that add up to a crisp, clean scent. All essential oil, no fillers. Use 3 to 4 drops of the oil on each dryer ball before throwing them into the dryer with wet laundry. 

~ A small leaflet with instructions on how best to use the dryer balls and dryer ball drops.

~  A natural, drawstring burlap bag to hold your dryer balls and dryer ball drops, or to present as a gift.



The Sister Dexterity Dryer Ball Set makes the ideal gift. What greater gift can you give than something that will improve the health of your friends, family members, coworkers, club members, teachers or neighbors…as well as improve their overall laundry experience! Also the perfect shower gift, housewarming gift, hostess gift or Secret Santa gift.


I am offering a special friends and family discount on the sets before I list them on Etsy or place them in specialty stores: one Sister Dexterity Dryer Ball Set is specially priced at $25, including tax and shipping. When you buy three Sister Dexterity Dryer Ball Sets, the price is only $60, including tax and shipping. That means free shipping either way!
