Dryer balls

I have been using them for a few weeks now. I have noticed shorter time on loads with smaller clothes like my childs clothes or loads with a lot of socks. I saw no real difference on loads with jeans and towels. But they do come out softer and remove the wrinkles better. Maybe the jeans and towels are just too heavy for the balls to lift.

Ok I found some information and would like to sare it. Here it is:
Dryer balls are balls added to the dryer for the purpose of reducing drying time and eliminating static cling. They are also known to reduce wrinkles and lint buildup. The nodules or spikes help to separate the fabric, which allows the hot air to circulate more efficiently. The design of the dryer balls relaxes the fibers during the drying cycle. In result the fabrics will dry more evenly and come out softer and fluffier. The makers of dryer balls claim that they reduce drying time by 15 to 25%, which will save energy.

Dryer balls are made out of PVC plastic which is the same plastic that is used to make hot water pipes. PVC plastic will never melt. Because PVC plastic does not contain any chemicals, they are non-toxic. This is better for the environment and for people with sensitive skin. Dryer balls are a great alternative for fabric softener.

Dryer balls improve the circulation of heat and air through wet items. The dryer balls retain heat then transfer the heat to the clothes. When heat is added to liquid, the particles move faster. If enough heat is added then the particles will move fast enough to escape from the liquid. As the liquid in the clothes absorb heat from the air, the water changes to a gas. This is called evaporation. Heat travels through liquids and gases by convection. Convection is the movement of heat through liquids and gases by the movement of particles. Heat energy always moves from an area of higher temperature to an area of lower temperature. This is how clothes dry in the dryer. Dryer balls just help to allow the heat to flow easier.
