Do the wool fibers from the balls stick on black clothes?

No, Have not had a problem with the fibers sticking to ANYTHING.. Love them

No, they don't seem to shed at all. I have dried many dark dress shirts and have never had that happen. I really like them.

Not at all - I have a lot of dark clothes. I just leave the balls in the dryer all the time. I really like these - better than the plastic blue ones. Highly recommended.

I just put about 6 or 8 drops on 2 of the wool balls and it soaks in immediately so there is no oil that gets on the clothes. The directions on the bottle say to put the drops on after the clothes are dry and just let it run on cool for about 10 minutes because heat kills essential oils. Works really nice and leaves a nice lavender scent on our clothes.

Wool makes me itch-and these don't make me itch, so I don't think there is wool in them. It says the fibers are polypropylene with silver...no idea what that means. But they are really comfortable.

I think what actually removes the pet hair is the dryer itself, not the sheets. If you look at all the stuff you clean off your lint filter, you can see the hair in there too. So the wool balls will do just as good a job as the dryer sheets did, meaning your dryer itself will continue to draw the lint and hair into the lint catcher. I think you'll be pleased! (I have a cat, not a dog, but they get the job done just fine.)

The product would probably work but...this is a liquid spray that would soak into the fabric & once there is enough to allow the cotton/paper mache to adhere, the material (front/back) might stick together or stick to the person wearing it once dried. You might try spraying the cotton balls & put something that will release easily (silicone?) under the application spot. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I doubt it. This item works best on longer fibers like lint and pet hair. In my experience, paper balls up or rolls up in the dryer. However, this item may help those paper balls/rolls make it to your dryer's lint trap.

To use moth balls one simply place them in an enclosed space or container along with whatever one wishes to protect from fabric eating moth larvae. They slowly emit fumes which get rid of the pests. The fumes are rather pungent so your storage chest or closet should be reasonable tight. Your woolens will smell rather pungent after you remove them for a few hours. Mothball do work for the purpose intended.

The only laundry I can base this on are the washable silks I have. In the 4 years I've used the balls, I don't remember having static issues. Hope this helps you!

Most major stores do have "Moth Balls"When Moths Make a Home in YoursBy ARIANNE COHENPublished: January 27, 2010TWITTERLINKEDINPRINTREPRINTSSHARE MOTHS that thrive on wardrobes full of cashmere, wool, fur and other fabrics made from animal hair are a bane to many people. But there are plenty of ways to protect your clothes without resorting to mothballs.

I also use the soap nuts for several household chores, we have a collie and a cat so lots of hair in our home. I have found using natural wool wound into balls in the dryer not only helps my clothing to dry naturally and faster, but they are also very soft and static free and the bonus is the hair is in the dryer vent trap and easily cleaned and thrown into the trash. The directions for making these wool dryer balls are on the internet and you-tube, the cost is minimal to get started, and the wool balls last for years which is quite a savings.

Since wool is anti-microbial I have not washed mine, I just air it outside once in awhile on a sunny day

Truly I do not know. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say no. I'm very happy with them and they are thick and warm. They do not itch me at all. If you are allergic to wool, you may want o call the manufacture. I don't remember if there is anything in the description. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

No wool. Man made fiber like nylon. They work well and feel good and are easier to put on after first time.

This has never been a problem for me as nothing from the felted balls remains on clothing. What will happen is that the felt balls will collect some lint from your clothes. If the felt balls become too linty, you just wash them separately and they are like new!

I don't think I would. It's an essential oil, so I think it may leave behind oil type spots on your clothing. When I use it on the actual Woolzies Dryer Balls, I put 3 or 4 drops, but then I let it 'soak' in for a day or so. It does read that you can easily dilute it with water, but I have only used it on the dryer balls. I love the way it smells.

Well, I haven't really noticed a change in the static charge of my clothes since switching to SoapNuts. I do use wool balls and an aluminum foil ball in the dryer and see virtually no static except when washing big blankets. I don't think these affect static but it seems to be more so what you use in the dryer.

No, it's more of a preventative. It will help repel the lint that black seems to attract so easily.
