All you need is a set of wool dryer balls with essential oils. Wool dryer balls are 100% natural replacement for chemical filled dryer sheets. They work by bouncing around in the dryer, reducing static cling and literally softly &#8220;beating&#8221; your clothes. The balls shorten drying time by wicking moisture away from your clothes and they can last for years. Adding essential oils gently scents your clothes and adds one more way to get the therapeutic benefit of oils into your life. If you are trying to reduce the chemicals and toxins in your house this is one with a lot of bang for your buck since clothes, sheets and towels touch everyone in your family all day long.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5526 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/momofftrack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wool-dryer-balls-with-essential-oils.jpg\" alt=\"Wool dryer balls with essential oils are a great alternative to chemical filled dryer sheets. \" width=\"600\" height=\"793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/momofftrack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wool-dryer-balls-with-essential-oils.jpg 600w, https:\/\/momofftrack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/wool-dryer-balls-with-essential-oils-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to get your wool dryer balls, buy them or make them. Many people even use an old wool sweater around the house to make the balls making this even more cost efficient. I have heard though from people that have made them that it just wasn&#8217;t worth the time and effort when you can buy them so inexpensively.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to Buy Wool Dryer Balls:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00GA9P5P0\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00GA9P5P0&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=httpchaoticco-20&amp;linkId=IOSCLG5CXKW2DZSP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a>.

Once the balls are ready to toss in the dryer you are going to want to scent them. This is where you can get fun and creative. Place 2-3 drops on each ball. This should last through 3 cycles in the dryer. Of course you can use more or less depending on your preference but that is a good guideline to start with.<\/p>\n<h3>Possible Combinations for\u00a0Wool Dryer Balls With Essential Oils:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>3 balls of Lavender and 3 balls of Orange.<\/li>\n<li>3 balls of Purification and 2 ball of\u00a0Melaleuca alternifolia if I had sick kids and I was doing sheets.<\/li>\n<li>3 balls of Orange and 3 balls of Stress Away.
