Fuzzy Wuzzy Dryer Balls Review and Giveaway


As I just mentioned in my last post, I use the Fuzzy Wuzzy Dryer Balls in my dryer to reduce the amount of time we need to dry the clothes and to make them softer! 

Tina hand makes all of these wonderful dryer balls and sells them in her Etsy shop and they are also available on the EcoNest Hyena Cart Congo!  They are made of 100% Merino Wool and work WONDERFULLY!

We started using these dryer balls a couple of weeks ago and I have already noticed a dramatic change in the amount of time we need to dry our clothing and also a dramatic change in how fluffy my towels are after coming out of the dryer!  These things work WONDERS!  And they are more affordable and less wasteful than dryer sheets since they can last you months and months (maybe even years!) where a box of dryer sheets will only last you a couple of months.  I also find that they work better because they not only prevent static and make clothes fluffier, but they also reduce drying time!

As clearly stated on the Etsy Page: Please be warned: Cats, Dogs, Little Ones, Clean Clothes, and Closets will more than likely try to steal you dryer balls =)  This is true!  One of our dryer balls has already gone missing and we are currently in the process of following the clues to find it again (I'm blaming my husband's pants).  But even with just one dryer ball in there I am still noticing a difference!  I'm still hoping we find his brother for twice the dryer ball power, but for now we are doing just fine with one!

What I Love:  These fabulous dryer balls allow me to reduce my energy usage each month, which not only saves energy, but saves me money!  They also make my towels and clothing fluffy and soft!  These are also homemade and by buying them you are supporting the Mommy Made industry!

What I Don't Love: They are really easy to lose, as we've proven!  This is not a house where stuff usually goes missing this long, so these things are master hiders!  But it's here somewhere... we'll find it!

UPDATE: We found the missing dryer ball!  We use rags to clean up pet messes that we keep seperated from our kitchen rags and towels.  Since they're never on display we never bother to fold them and just toss them into a bin to pull out and use when needed.  And the last time we washed them, a dryer ball decided to join them.  Our dryer balls have been joyously reunited!


BUY IT!

Want a set (or 3-pack) of Fuzzy Wuzzy Dryer Balls to feed your dryer?  Head on over to the Etsy store or Hyena Cart Congo Store and pick them up for yourself!  And while you're at the Hyena Cart store, check out some of the amazing things available there!   There's not a lot in stock right now but be patient!  Restocking will happen soon!

WIN IT!
