Washing beforehand eliminates sheep odor and lint.
Absolutely Wash These! You won't regret it.I couldn't wait for these to arrive. I'd been coveting them for months. I had a few bottles of essential oils knocking around in my dresser drawer that were about to pass their prime. It was the perfect time to order my very own wool dryer balls and finish off my almost expired bottles of essential oils.First impressions:No amount of essential oil was going to mask the distinct odor of sheep; I was heartbroken. I did a little research (ok... maybe more than a little) and learned that the odor was typical and would fade in time. In time? I wasn't about to dry load after load waiting for the scent of fleur de fleece to subside. I took a chance and threw them in the washing machine - best idea ever (wish it was mine)! After three washes with hot water and detergent they were significantly better. I was afraid washing them may ruin them, but it didn't. I made a blend of lemon oil, lavender oil, and a little distilled water in a spray bottle and generously sprayed them before tossing them in the dryer with some towels. Hallelujah! The sheep-stink was gone, but I could barely detect my lavender-lemon blend. I put away the spray bottle and drop by drop I added the oils directly to the wool balls. To be exact, 9 drops lavender and 10 drops lemon per wool ball. I placed them in a large glass jar and let them marinate for a few hours. I'm on my fifth load and my laundry still smells amazing. I haven't even removed the wool balls from the dryer. I just let all six of them hang out waiting for the next load of wet laundry.My other concern was whether or not my darks would be covered in wool lint; a couple of reviews had me worried. I just dried my first load of darks and I'm thrilled to say there is no wool lint on any of my very-emo-daughter's clothing. I never would have heard the end of that. I think washing the wool balls first prevented them from shedding lint.Overall, I'm pretty happy with these. They truly do cut down on drying time and I'm not having any static cling issues. If you do have static cling you could attach a safety pin to one of the wool balls or throw in a waded up ball of foil. Just don't over dry your laundry and the static should ease up. I'm anxious to try another blend. Don't you just love fresh scented laundry? Breathe it in... *eyes roll back and lids flutter* ...aahhhhhBest wishes to anyone who does their family's laundry! You're a Superwoman! Or a Superman! Or a Superperson!(Update)It has been two weeks and I'm still happy with my sheep wool balls. I've added a couple photos so you can see how they're holding up. The wool balls are discolored from essential oils, but I expected that.Additionally, in my sincerest attempt to sound humble... what's with the tennis balls?I thought the main idea of wool balls was to cut down drying time and ditch the dryer sheets containing chemicals. Tennis balls are made from rubber and a thin layer of wool (sometimes nylon). That doesn't seem like enough wool to aid in drying. Besides, I wouldn't want hot rubber in my dryer with my laundry. Maybe I'm wrong; perhaps I'm missing something? I'd much rather shell out a few more bucks for 100% wool (solely wool). I just may eat ALL my words before long. It looks like some folks wool balls are unraveling? Drat.(Update #2 - I know, I'm a nerd)It's been nearly six months and they're still going strong! Occasionally, I toss them in the washing machine to keep our darks lint free. They're keeping their shape and doing their job.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like these a little better than dryer sheets, not the holy grail for pet hair.
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2023
As a long time owner of cats, I'm always looking for ways to cut down cat hair in my house and while doing laundry. I recently learned about wool balls that might help so I thought I would give them a try. After using them for a few weeks I was impressed that I didn't see any cat hair on anything coming out of the dryer although it usually wasn't very bad with regular dryer sheets either. Then there was finally a load in which a big clump of cat hair was stuck to an undergarment and a T-shirt was covered in what I'm guessing is some of the wool from one of the balls but was nowhere else to be found. Even though the contact the balls continually make should in theory loosen hair, it always seems like there is one piece of clothing that has some magic property that will attract a clump of hair and not get vented out.

With both the wool balls and dryer sheets, there are periodically big clumps of pet hair that simply get missed but they work well overall. The wool balls I received did not have any kind of strange smell like some others have reported but it probably is a good idea to wash them alone beforehand since they are pure wool, an animal fiber. For years, when using dryer sheets I would always put a dry towel in with the wet stuff which helps the overall load dry faster. I'm not sure if two or three balls or a towel works better to speed up drying, but the wool balls on their own should definitely reduce overall drying time if you don't already do the towel trick.

I do like that the dryer sheets I use have a slight scent. I see some people have experimented with putting a small amount of essential oil in their wool balls and letting them thoroughly dry (to not get clothes oily) which I might try with one to give a little scent. Like all groceries, dryer sheets have gotten more expensive also. The price of these wool balls has decreased recently so they should easily pay themselves off and last a long time. I have been using three of them and have the other three to switch to if they ever show signs of wear. I also like being a little green with these and not having to discard used dryer sheets. I will continue to use these and would buy them again.
