Apart from dryer balls, there are also lots of other things you can do to make drying clothes cheaper and kinder to the environmentDryer balls are rubber or wool balls that claim to speed up tumble-drying time. They bounce around the drum continuously, separating items in your dryer. This is meant to allow the heat to circulate more efficiently, drying your clothes faster and using less electricity, their makers say.
There is the environmental cost too. Carbon emitted from electricity usage is warming the planet. Heatwaves, flooding, storms – that is the result. Tumble drying releases microplastic fibres from your clothes too, polluting the air and water. But then, in a country where it is pretty wet from October to April, and as apartments can lack clothes drying facilities, households can feel they do not have a choice.Dryer balls reduce drying time by up to 28 per cent, their inventors say; however independent studies on the matter are hard to find.
