Laundry maintenance using tennis balls

Overview

Cleaning experts and outdoor brands suggest using tennis balls in a washing machine to maintain the quality of bulky items, such as down jackets, duvets, and puffer coats.

Adding two clean tennis balls to the drum provides gentle agitation that prevents internal feathers or filling from clumping together. This process helps keep the filling distributed and maintains the fluffiness of the fabric.

Beyond preventing clumps, the method can accelerate the drying process by improving air circulation between garments. Additionally, the balls may assist in collecting pet hair that accumulates in the drum.
