The Tennis Ball Trick That’ll Change How You Do Laundry Forever
Laundry expert Gwil Snook sheds light on this ingenious trick that can make laundry day a breeze.
With Wimbledon in full swing, tennis balls are the stars of the show at Centre Court. However, many Brits might be surprised to learn that tennis balls have a hidden talent off the court. They can significantly enhance your laundry routine by speeding up the drying process.
Laundry expert Gwil Snook sheds light on this ingenious trick that can make laundry day a breeze.
Adding a tennis ball or two to your tumble-drying cycle will help clothes dry faster by moving air around the machine, which in turn helps prevent wrinkling.
Tennis balls work in the same way as woollen ‘dryer balls’ but can be a cheaper and more durable option. The bouncing action of the balls helps to separate clothes, preventing them from clumping together. This allows hot air to circulate better, resulting in a quicker drying time. Not only that, but your clothes will come out less creased, eliminating the need for ironing.
This handy hack is suitable for all types of tumble dryers and, due to the quicker drying time, it can also help reduce energy consumption, saving you money.
