**Strange but they seem to work.**  
I don't know why but they do increase the "dry" feel, especially to towels and duvet covers. Certainly easy to use.

**1st time I have used tumble dryer balls**  
Surprised by how much quicker the tumble drying gets done. Especially good on large items such as king sized sheets and duvet covers.

**Unsure**  
Unsure if these actually work!!! Used few times now haven't really noticed a difference.

**Brilliant balls**  
Brilliant. Sided drying and what a great job. Totally recommend.

**Quiet and efficient**  
The wool drier balls are quieter and more gentle on clothes than our previous plastic ones. We also add essential oils to them to scent the clothes.

**Brilliant**  
Just amazing time and money saving balls. A must have.

**Scooms Wooly Balls**  
Recently bought an LG heat pump tumble dryer so can’t really give much of a review. However the balls are very nicely presented and delivery was speedy. I am sure they will assist in the drying process.

**Not sure how effective these are…**  
Can’t fault the product choice, customer service or delivery. All great!

**A revelation**  
These four wool balls have transformed the drying performance of our old tumble dryer

**Great product!**  
I have a washer/dryer which doesn’t dry as efficiently as a dryer on its own would. Items were very creased and often not dry. I’ve been using the Wool Tumble Dryer Balls for several weeks now and I have definitely noticed an improvement! Great product!

## Frequently asked questions

**Do I just throw dryer balls in the dryer?**  
Yes, drop your four [Scooms dryer balls](/content/products/wool-dryer-balls/index.html) into your tumble dryer drum with your wet washing and dry on your normal dryer setting. If you want to add a particular scent to your laundry, you can add a couple of drops of essential oil to some dryer balls.

**How long do Wool dryer balls last?**  
Your pack of four [Scooms Wool tumble dryer balls](/content/products/wool-dryer-balls/index.html) will last for approximately 1000 dryer loads and can last for up to five years.

**What's the difference between wool dryer balls and plastic dryer balls?**  
Wool dryer balls are much quieter when they bounce around your tumble dryer drum than plastic dryer balls. Plastic dryer balls can shed microplastics, so they are not as environmentally friendly as wool dryer balls.

**How many wool dryer balls should you use at a time?**  
We recommend using four wool dryer balls when drying your laundry. You will receive a pack of four 7cm [Scooms wool tumble dryer balls](/content/products/wool-dryer-balls/index.html) in a reusable cotton storage bag.

**Can I use tennis balls instead of wool dryer balls in my tumble dryer?**  
Tennis balls will work instead of wool dryer balls to an extent as they will create air gaps in your laundry which aids quicker drying.

**Details**  
Our wool tumble dryer balls are the eco-friendly way to reduce your tumble drying time and a natural softening alternative to dryer sheets and fabric softener. Hand-made in Nepal from 100% New Zealand wool, they will reduce your energy usage and save you money.  
**Materials**:  
- Hand-made in Nepal from 100% New Zealand wool,  
- Delivered in plastic-free, recyclable packaging.

**How to use:**:  
- Just add them to your tumble dryer with your wet washing.  
- Wool dryer balls need space to work best so they will be most efficient in medium to small-sized washing loads.  
- After use, leave your dryer balls in your dryer ready for the next load.

**Benefits**  
- Wet laundry tends to clump together in the tumble dryer, slowing down the drying process. Wool dryer balls separate the laundry allowing hot air to circulate more evenly and efficiently.  
- Tumble dryer balls agitate against the fibres in your bed linen and clothing so your washing will also feel softer when you take it out of the dryer.

**Delivery**: For orders placed by 3pm, Mon - Fri.  
- Mainland UK £50+: Next day delivery in one hour time slots via DPD - Free.  
- Mainland UK under £50: 2-3 day delivery via Royal Mail - £3.95.
