Washing clothes
Washing clothes is an everyday routine for most people, but few consider that the choices you make can have a big effect on the life of the clothes.
Here are some useful tips on how you can optimize your laundry routine, at the same time we will also introduce you to products such as dryer balls, effective detergents and tonics that can help you achieve the best result.
What are Dry Balls?
Dryer balls are an environmentally friendly alternative to fabric softener that helps soften your clothes in the dryer. They typically come in the form of wool dryer balls, but are also available as plastic balls with spikes.
They work by creating air in the laundry, which effectively reduces drying time and thus also energy consumption. Wool dryer balls can also absorb some of the moisture, further speeding up the drying process.
