I'm always looking for ways to be frugal 💵 and save our beautiful planet 🌎. That's why I decided to tell you about some useful tips in the category of drying in an ecological way.
If it is possible for you to use a clothesline or a clothes dryer, I strongly recommend that you use these two methods since they are the most ecological. On the other hand, it is not always easy to spread these clothes inside when it is 30°C and very humid, especially if it concerns sheets and towels. This is why I am offering you here some tips for the electric clothes dryer and the use of woolen dryer balls.
Wool drying balls are essential allies for the electric dryer. They can save us money and save the planet. Since every little bit counts, here are some details on the benefits of drying balls:
🧶Reduce drying time
By bouncing in the dryer they separate the clothes and create greater drafts between the clothes. Which makes drying faster.
👩🏼🏫 Bonus, it also helps reduce static!
🌈 Less drying time = less energy spent, which means: more in your pockets and a happier 🌎!
🧶Replace fabric softeners
Do you like your clothes to smell good? No problem, buy yourself one or two essential oils and you're done! Put a few drops on your drying balls and your laundry will smell very good, very fresh! 🙂
By doing this, you'll stop spending on single-use polyester fabric softener sheets and help reduce the amount of waste that obviously ends up in the landfill.
🌈 Less buying of single-use fabric softener sheets = more in your pockets and a happier 🌎!
