I love how spring brings on the desire to clean up and declutter, and perhaps even simplify routines a little bit.
Y’all know that I love natural living and making easy, affordable swaps to healthier options, and dryer sheets is one that that’s a super easy switch!
Conventional dryer sheets are filled with toxins we definitely don’t want in our spring, green home!
A super easy switch is to use wool dryer balls instead, with essential oils from Young Living if you want the extra scent added!
I recommend using 4-5 wool dryer balls for an average to large load, and add a couple drops of oil to most (or all!) of the balls for great smelling laundry. If static is an issue, make sure not to over-dry. You can also add safety pins to the dryer balls or throw a ball of aluminum foil in the dryer (and no, the metal isn’t a problem!)
If you want to know what dryer balls we use, here’s a link. It’s only $10 for 6 dryer balls, and lemme tell you they’ll last foooooorever. We still have our original ones from like, 5-6 years ago? So it’s an easy switch.
And if you’re wondering what essential oils to add… The sky’s the limit!
But here’s a few suggestions:
- Lavender for calm vibes
- Thieves for seasonal support and fall smelling vibes
- Purification for that perfect “clean laundry” smell (also great for getting rid of the stinky sock smell)
- Citrus Fresh for perfect summer and sunshine vibes
And literally, you can use ANY scent you like! The more drops you add, the stronger the smell.
The essential oils aren’t necessary, but they are a nice touch to give your clothes that *extra* clean smell.
