If you haven't read my blog "What is so bad about fabric softener", you may want to. Fabric softeners are some of the most toxic products made for daily household use.
Aside from avoiding the harmful ingredients in fabric softeners, you will save money using Norwex Dryer Balls as well. There is an obvious savings when you stop buying fabric softener sheets. However, you may save more money than you realize.
The dryer balls in your dryer work their way between the fabric to lift, separate, soften and more effectively dry your laundry. For each load you dry, you can cut 15 minutes off of the total drying time (from 45 to 30 minutes). If you forget and set the dryer to the full time, you will find that static builds up again – the dryer balls will force you to be more energy efficient!
Let’s compute –
Cost of Dryer Balls = $18.99
6 dryer loads per week * 52 = 312 loads/year
Fabric Softener Sheets – 4 boxes of 80 sheets @ $3.97 = $15.88
Electricity Cost Savings – 312 loads * $0.25 minus 25% = $58.50
Total Savings - $74.38 - $18.99 = $55.39 in the 1st year
$74.38 each year after!
Save time, save money, and protect the environment!
Average dryer load cost for your area may vary.
