can I add this to wool dryer balls to help my laundry smell better?

Yes, some people put a few drops on a cloth and put it in their dryer with the clothes :-)

NO! The dryer maid ball CANT be used in the washer, it is made for the dryer only. In fact, you never have to clean it, it's self cleaning.

I would think that over time the waxy chemicals from the dryer sheets would build up on the balls and prevent them from being as effective. I use about a 1/4 cup vinegar in my washer and the dryer balls in dryer. I have no static and drying time is much less.

Well, I haven't really noticed a change in the static charge of my clothes since switching to SoapNuts. I do use wool balls and an aluminum foil ball in the dryer and see virtually no static except when washing big blankets. I don't think these affect static but it seems to be more so what you use in the dryer.

Depends if you line dry or use a dryer. If you line dry, yes, very subtle nice fresh smell. If you use a dryer, the nature of no added fake chemical fragrance means the heat will kill off the scent, but Grab Green have nice dryer sheets that can be used several times, or pop a small clean rag with a few drops of essential oil in with your dryer load. Easy to scent if you want to, with naturals.

Yes, you can. I always use the nuts with cold water in my front loader and get clean soft clothes after drying.

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.

Yes it will, it has "built in" fabric softener you could say. I know some people miss the smell of fabric softener though so they use wool dryer balls with essential oils on it (aka lavender). I LOVE soap berries, its all I use now, except for my whites...I do use Oxi Clean along with this. I hope this helps. ~ Blessings, Christina

Dryer balls are meant to reduce drying time & static cling w/out chemicals and waste of another product(s). A dryer sheet would defeat the purpose, IMO. Also, I haven't used any fabric softener of any kind (liquid, sheets, etc.) for 10-12 years & I find that I almost never have any static in my laundry (very rarely will I have static if I happen to wash towels w/new socks... but once the socks have been washed a time or two there is no static... & even the little static is barely there).

Yes you can, you might want use a half a cap of sport wash on your HE washer especially if you are only doing half load of laundry.

Using chemical filled dryer sheets defeats the purpose of using a product that is natural and chemical free like the dryer balls. The chemicals that are in the dryer sheet will transfer onto the wool balls but it shouldn't effect their performance or shape. To reduce static you should try putting your dryer on the medium heat setting.

I leave the dryer balls in the dryer all the time. Put wet clothes in with them, start dryer. The dryer balls will be dry when the clothes are.

HE? This detergent makes clothes smell SOOO good, even after they've been hanging in your closet for a little while. I suggest to buy the bigger bottles though....if you can find a good bargain on it! :)

I used it to scent dryer balls so my laundry smelled like vanilla and I used it at full strength, just a couple drops.

Vinegar in the rinse cycle can do many things - preserve the color, act as fabric softener, and help stop things like pet hair from clinging. I use it especially on dark fabrics and have no need for fabric softener or dryer sheets anymore. Oh and you won't smell it on your dry clothes at all. You don't have to use the vinegar, detergent alone will get the job done but I prefer adding vinegar.

I'm using this for wool/cashmere sweaters with no problem,however,after I did,I put the sweaters under the shade to dry out.Because I don't like the smell of the product. Don't try to rub the spot off.It makes more worth with oil that's contained in this product.I use Woolite just for very light dirty clothes.
