Switch out one of the most toxic products in your home!
Did you know that one of the most toxic products in your home are dryer sheets? These are FULL of toxins and chemicals that spread throughout your clothes (and your kids’ clothes! Your babies!) which then get soaked into your skin (your largest organ) and enter your blood stream. This can and is leading to all kinds of nasty ailments from skin irritations to cancer.
Fortunately, there is an EASY switch you can make today that will save you money! Enter dryer balls! These wool balls separate clothes mechanically instead of chemically. They move throughout your clothes providing the separation you are looking for.
The cool thing is that dryer balls cut drying time in half, saving you a TON of money on energy as well as not having to buy dryer sheets every month.
They are also super affordable. You can find them on Amazon or local stores or farmer’s markets for around $10 for 3 balls and good quality ones will last years! They’re pretty much everywhere now and for good reason. They work and they’re safe!
Tips:
·Look for organic, 100% New Zealand wool if possible.
·Try to get extra-large balls so you don’t have to search for them in sleeves and pant legs!
·Start with 3 balls and add more if desired.
·If you struggle with static, reduce drying-time and stick a safety pin in one or two balls to help with separation.
But I like my clothes to smell good!
This is where essential oils come in! Simply add a drop of pure essential oil to each ball, let it soak in for a few minutes, and start your dryer. Your clothes will come out with a light scent that isn’t synthetic or toxic. #winning
Testimony:
My dear friend has struggled with ocular rosacea for many years. By making this one simple switch, her rosacea has cleared up almost completely.
It cannot be stressed enough that the products we have in our homes are doing far more harm than good. You are the gatekeeper of your home! It’s time to start paying attention to what we’re putting on our bodies! Switching to dryer balls is a fabulous start 😊
