Did you know that dryer sheets contain many harmful chemicals? Not only that but the smell stays on your clothes for a while and you end up inhaling those chemicals. 😳⁣

Ditch the dryer sheets 🙅🏻‍♀️and switch to using wool dryer balls in your laundry. ⁣

Fragrance-Free vs. Unscented ⁣
Some products may have the terms fragrance-free or unscented on their packaging. Understanding the differences between these two terms is important!⁣

✅Fragrance-free means that fragrance materials or masking scents are not used in the product. ⁣
⁣
❌Unscented generally means that the product may contain chemicals that neutralize or mask the odors of other ingredients. ⁣
