Does anyone have advice on using Woolzies with essential oils added? Thanks!

I put a drop or two on 3 - 4 balls and it is perfect for me. If you want to really smell your clothes you might want to put a drop on each ball. I use all 6 balls in the dryer. I love the scent - it is super light. You can adjust depending on how much of a load you do. Do not over load your dryer with clothes. You need the space for the clothes to tumble and the balls to do their job. My son had over packed the washer once and the dryer of course, was over packed; which made the clothes not dry in the normal amount of time and the balls had no room to move around. I did not like the scratchy clothes. A teachable moment! I put a drop or two on 3 - 4 balls and it is perfect for me.

I haven't personally tried this yet, but I have read from another site that sells Woolzies that you can definitely put a few drops of essential oils on your Woolzies if you'd like to give them a little scent. I've also read that, should you decide you'd like to change or get rid of the scent, you can put them in a sock and run them in the wash as long as you MAKE SURE they're totally dry afterwards because they are so dense they could possibly develop an odor if they don't dry completely.

I did read that one must use a good quality essential oil - otherwise spotting might occur.

One thing no one mentioned here is that Woolzies makes it very clear to only use essential oils with the balls on AIR or FLUFF setting after clothes are already dry. The reason is because while essential oils are "natural" they are still volatile oils - the most concentrated chemicals from plants, and by heating them a lot they can actually transform into harmful chemicals, which are then released into the air through your dryer vent. Because of this I think it makes sense to have one set for heat and one set for AIR. I have done this and it works nicely, and you don't need to run it on air for very long.

I have been adding a few drops of essential oils to my Woolzies since I got them. I use the NOW Brand, because I think they are pure and smell the best, and they can be purchased off Amazon. Currently I am using Lavender for my sheets and towels, but am thinking of trying some new scents.

I use my Woolzies all of the time. I'm not sure what an HE washer has to do with it, since the Woozie is used in the dryer.The package says to use 2-3 of the Woolzie balls at the same time, but I only use one at a time and it works great for us. Most of our clothing is natural fabrics like cotton, but some contain nylon. I'd highly recommend the Woolzies dryer balls. I only wish I'd learned about them earlier. What a savings now that we don't have to buy dryer sheets. If you want scent, you can add essential oils to the balls AFTER the clothes are dried and on a cooler setting for about 5-10 minutes.

Woolzies suggests you allow the laundry to finish drying, then add a few drops of essential oil to two of the balls. Place them back in the dryer on the no heat setting for ten minutes. Leave the third ball in the dryer, but do not add oil to it. I just bought a three pack of Woolzies and have not tried this yet, but those directions are included in their packaging.

a combination of essential oils derived from menthol, wintergreen, camphor, eucalyptus, lavender and peppermint

I've been using mine with pure essential oils for an entire year, no problems. It works as well as my pricey diffuser though it doesn't have as many features and doesn't do as large an area.

Use any essential, depending on what you are using mister for, IE: lavender oil is great for massages or meditating, orange oil is great for entertaining. Oil is dropped into water reservoir. It's really a great item

I have not yet used it with Young Living oils, but I have used it with DoTERRA oils and haven't had any issues. The machine is designed to be used with non-synthetic essential oils, so you shouldn't have any problems. The directions do state not to use synthetic oils in the machine though, as those can degrade the plastic.

I believe that you "could" do it - there is a zipper to adjust the amount of buckwheat fill. As the other responder noted, there is no lavender added, and it would probably be less problematic to add dried to the buckwheat, rather than using an oil-based product.

I have a wonderful essential oil nebulizer. I put one drop (germ fighter is very strong) of germ fighter with three drops of lavender in the nebulizer and diffuse into the air at night. It helps me sleep and keeps me healthy. This is wonderful stuff.! Anybody know how to make a toothpaste from this stuff? I am thinking that would be good too!

I would not add OIL but I do add "extracts". I love peppermint.... Lemon , orange strawberry etc. there are so many to choose from You can find them on the "spice / baking area of most stores. If you choose Vanilla, you may want to get the CLEAR kind instead of the brown

I pulled my grass out first. Then I redid it with Wooly Thyme, mother of thyme and patched of Elfin Thyme. Currently I am doing my side with Aubritea and creeping Veronica speedwell color tidal pool but I had to pull my grass first

The lavender flowers seem to be very "pure", but with any herbal product to be used for cooking, you should make sure there aren't any extraneous sticks or grassy materials before you add them to your recipe. These are so fragrant that you will find them very useful for many aromatherapy uses such as sachets and pot pourrie. I did add some of the lavender to my home made version of herbs de provence (found the recipe online) and so far have enjoyed using the herbal mixture to season meats of all types. Enjoy!

Woolzies will be fine. They don't have any chemicals on them at all. You can add drops of essential oils to make your laundry smell nice.

Yes, I would use a carrier oil. We like to diffuse in a diffuser. I am not sure of the authenticity being that the oil is listed at a questionable price. Please purchase straight from Young Living https://www.youngliving.org/oilsbykelly Join as a wholesaler (no monthly quotas or fees) and get all the oils you want at wholesale price (24% off retail)!

I checked on Smiley Daisy's website, and it said that you can use citrus essential oils. Just make sure to use room temperature water. Hope this helps
