To seal in the scent during drying, add essential oils directly to your wool dryer ball. Before adding your clothes, run the machine with the dryer balls for a minute or two to make sure that the oil is absorbed into the wool and doesn\u2019t stain your clothes. Add your clothes and dry like normal.<\/p>\n
