Dryer balls

Green credentials: Place one of these nifty little balls in your tumble dryer, and drying time is reduced by up to 25%. The reason? The square tips compress and soften your laundry load. A natural alternative to fabric softeners, they're ideal for delicate or sensitive skin. What's more, they cut down on lint and fluff - and reduce creases and wrinkles, so you spend less time and energy ironing, too! What's not to love?
