Wouldn't it be great if we could enjoy washing clothes while reducing energy costs and being kind to the earth? The ULAT Dryer Ball is the answer.

The Canadian-born ULAT Dryer Ball is an excellent product that drastically reduces the drying time of laundry. For households that use the dryer on a daily basis, it also saves energy. When drying clothes, three balls can be placed in the dryer to start the drying process. In addition to reducing drying time, the wool content replaces fabric softener, making even towels fluffier.

ULAT Dryer Balls began in 2011, when founder Jennifer was always giving handmade gifts to family and friends.

She uses wool as a catalyst for change. Using only Canadian materials, she developed a multi-use product that reduces energy consumption while still operating in Vancouver. She has also devised new ways and means to establish a new category for Canadian wool, increasing the demand for wool products made in Canada year after year.

As an inclusive employer that values diversity, ULAT, as an Accessible Employer Member, provides job opportunities and skills for those in need of economic independence. Jennifer is a member of The Campaign for Wool in Canada and a Futurpreneur Canada Mentor, which supports the next generation of social entrepreneurs.

We started using dryer balls last summer in 2019. We were first introduced to it by our friend when we visited them in Italy. Our friend shared with us a few dryer ball to take back to Japan and try.

When we got back to Japan, we immediately started using it and wow, we were so surprised and amazed that the drying time was much shorter than usual! Above all, what we loved about it was that the balls were made of natural materials, no need for fabric softeners as it keeps your clothes soft without it; we definitely got better results drying our clothes by using them! If you do like your clothes to be scented, you can spray your favorite essential oil on to the balls; the scent will spread not only in your clothes, but also in the entire bathroom, which is very refreshing.

We loved the concept and really thought this was a great product for our website and started to look for different manufacturers. We did have questions like, even if it is natural, how can we be sure that the sheeps are not hurt or is it really natural?

That's when we met ULAT dryer balls. It definitely stands out from any other dryer balls and is simply “very unique and cute!” We spoke with ULAT founders and were impressed by their commitment and the process they have put in with their trusted suppliers to make sure the procured wools are natural and everything is done safely.

We really love these dryer balls! Not only does it do a great job, it makes the job so much more fun. Try watching these colorful balls dancing in the dryer :)
