Replace your wool dryer balls every six months to two years, depending on usage. If you’re a minimalist who dries jeans on the line, stretch it to two years. If you’re a family of five who dries everything on high heat and owns a golden retriever, replace them twice a year.
And if you’re still not sure? Buy new ones anyway. You’ve probably earned the upgrade. Plus, there’s something deeply satisfying about opening a fresh bag of plump, fuzzy balls. It’s the small things, you know?
So go ahead. Give your old dryer balls a proper funeral. Thank them for their service. And welcome the new ones with open arms. Your laundry will thank you. Your static will stop. And you can finally stop sniffing balls in the laundry room.
