Will wool dryer balls cause skin irritation?

Wool dryer balls are generally safe and unlikely to cause skin irritation. Made from 100% pure wool, they do not contain harsh chemicals or synthetic additives that can irritate sensitive skin. However, in rare cases, individuals with wool allergies or extremely sensitive skin may experience mild irritation if they come into direct and prolonged contact with the fibers. It’s important to note that wool itself is hypoallergenic and breathable, which reduces the likelihood of skin reactions compared to synthetic materials.

To minimize any potential irritation, consider using dryer balls made from hypoallergenic wool or opting for organic wool options. Additionally, ensure that the dryer balls are fully felted and free from loose fibers that could rub off onto clothes. If irritation does occur, discontinuing use of wool dryer balls and opting for alternative laundry methods may be necessary, such as using dryer sheets specifically designed for sensitive skin or choosing dryer balls made from alternative materials like silicone or plastic.
