Allow me to introduce you to today’s giveaway. Introducing Loohoo Wool Dryer Balls.
From the Loohoo website, “Loohoos are a reusable, energy-saving alternative to dryer sheets. We proudly offer high-quality wool dryer balls that are made in Maine using domestic wool. Together we can help protect our family’s health and the environment.”
They are giving one lucky winner a wonderful set of Loohoo wool dryer balls.
When I got the opportunity to review today’s giveaway, I decided to do it because even though I know how to make my own dryer balls, not everyone does and those who do know how to make them might not have the time and they really work. In the past 4 years that I have used my own dryer balls, I have saved a ton of money on my electric bill. Why? Because not only do they dry your clothing faster but you can forget the need for fabric softener as the wool balls beat the clothes soft in the dryer and get rid of static cling. My dryer has a sensor that shuts it off when it senses that the clothing is dry. Without dryer balls my loads usually take about 45 minutes to finish, with the dryer balls it cuts it down to 30 minutes. The four loads I did with the Loohoo wool dryer balls went down by 5 minutes or more each time. That makes me happy.
Aside from the money savings, have any of you ever inquired as to what is in fabric softener? Horrors! Dryer sheets are just as toxic, they make a film on your clothing and your lint trap and they can cause a fire from the film that accumulates. Poppa loves fabric softener so I used to spend a fortune at Whole Foods on their softener and wool dryer balls replaced that need for us.
Funny, that she sent me yellow because I happen to be one of my favorite colors! I love the muslin bag they come in and I want to show you what I noticed when I first opened the package!
Do you notice how much bigger they are than mine? Huge! And not only that but my homemade ones are wrapped and felted, the Loohoos are wet felted and I didn’t expect it but my clothing is softer when it comes out and drying even faster. I guess bigger surface area works better. Now to be truthful, I don’t use my dryer all that much sometimes but there is one sure thing about Florida in the summer, as soon as you put one thing on the line, a torrential downpour will come out of no where. Summer and winter I end up drying my clothing in the dryer a lot.
So in the end, I thought I was helping you all out by sharing a great product and ended up being a customer myself!
Now, with all these giveaways going on I want to put this out there. I have been very careful about choosing companies that only reflect the values and goals that I have chosen for my own family. If it is not inline with living a natural life then you won’t find it here. Sometimes, I am sent a product to try and give my opinion, sometimes I already use the product so I tell the company not to send me anything and just do the giveaway. I have received a couple of products which I have not shared with you because after using them I chose not to. Please be sure that I will only share products with you that I use would or do use with my own family.
To enter just leave a comment. For more chances to win share this on Facebook, Tweet it, share it on your own blog and then come back and tell me how you shared it, you get an entry for each one that you do. Good luck and the giveaway ends next Friday. The lucky winner will be announced right here in this post next Friday morning. I have posted the winner to last Friday’s Knitting book giveaway at last Friday’s post.
