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.

We wanted to wait a little bit before writing a review. We’ve been using these dryer balls for the last month now, and they work wonderfully so far! They dry our clothes a lot faster and much more effectively now than before. No more stopping the dryer to rotate clothes constantly or running the machine on longer cycles to completely dry them. Definitely more cost efficient and more environmentally friendly than dryer sheets. Even after multiple uses they still look good as new! No wear and tear, damage, or discoloration so far. Would highly recommend this product to everyone! I plan on getting more of them to rotate between so they last forever

I bought a package of these wool dryer balls. They are well made. The company seems customer friendly. I feel a bit bad for saying it, but there's no sense in people spending their money when they don't have to.
I ordered these balls because I wash a lot of sheets and was mainly looking for a way to soften them without using expensive, toxic laundry softener. I also heard that they would speed up drying time, which is a great bonus, especially if you wash your clothes at a laundromat. When they arrived, I took them out of the package, looked them over, held them in my hands, and had a sudden thought: "These are a lot like tennis balls. Hmm…" So I googled it, and discovered that you can in fact use tennis balls to soften clothes. The only question remaining was: "How well do they work?" I was pretty motivated to find out, because I use a laundromat, and often have three to four loads running at a time, so I was going to have to order three more sets of wool dryer balls to cover each load, which would have added up to eighty dollars! Needless to say, I was crossing my fingers.
So, I bought the cheapest tennis balls I could find. I could have used them the way they were, but I stumbled across a blog post (www.imalazymom.com/lazy-mom-tips/diy-dryer-balls-a-lazy-mom-tip/) that recommended covering the balls up with foil in order to reduce static electricity. This is a problem I have, so I took the time to follow the instructions. Basically, you just cut four foot-long pieces of foil, wrap up a tennis ball in all four of them, one layer at a time, then tape the seam down with scotch tape, and repeat for each ball that you have. Easy-peasy. (I do recommend using a stronger tape, like duct tape.) You don't have to spend a lot of time shaping the foil: the balls get very smooth and pretty from being tumbled around in the dryer (picture below). When they're ready, you just throw them in the dryer with your laundry. I did this, and when the laundry was done, I opened up the machine, and was very happy to discover the softest pile of sheets ever to spill forth from the mouth of that cheap old laundromat dryer. Not only that, but for the first time, they were actually completely dry from running only one cycle, which had never happened before.
I sent the wool balls back tout de suite and wrapped up eighteen more tennis balls in foil, six for each load, which I've been using happily ever since. Some people might say that it's a lot of trouble to go to, but for someone like me who does a lot of laundry at once it was a big deal. I ended up spending twenty as opposed to eighty dollars on dryer balls, plus whatever foil I used. I think a lot of people would consider that worthwhile. Anyway, though I haven't tried it, it sounds like unwrapped tennis balls work just fine. However, if you're of a particular consumer mindset, and you think that something costing more suggests higher efficiency, go ahead and buy these. There's nothing wrong with them.
Quick tip: instead of just tossing the balls in, I tuck mine here and there into the wet pile to make sure they really move through the laundry as it's drying. This makes a difference, whether you're using the wool or ghetto version.
