We’ll also answer some of the most frequently asked questions about each accessory and how they contribute to better energy efficiency.
Wool Dryer Balls: Faster Drying, Lower Bills
Dryer balls are one of the most cost-effective ways to cut drying time in half and reduce energy consumption. The Care+Protect Wool Dryer Balls are made from 100% natural wool and can be used for up to 1,000 cycles.
Energy-Efficient Benefits:
· Reduces drying time by up to 50%, which translates directly into energy savings.
· Naturally softens fabrics without chemicals, eliminating the need for single-use dryer sheets.
· Works at lower temperatures, so you can avoid energy-hungry high heat settings.
Top Questions Answered:
How do wool dryer balls work?
They bounce around in the drum, separating clothes and allowing hot air to circulate more efficiently, drying your laundry faster.
How many dryer balls should I use per load?
Typically, 2–4 balls are enough for a small to medium load. For larger loads, you can use more.
Can I add fragrance?
Yes! The Care+Protect version includes a 10ml bottle of perfumed essence that can be added directly to the wool balls for a fresh, lasting scent.
Are wool dryer balls eco-friendly?
Absolutely. Made from sustainable, chemical-free materials, they’re reusable, reduce waste, and lower your appliance’s energy use.
Stacking Kit: Save Space, Increase Efficiency
Laundry rooms are often tight on space. Installing a Care+Protect Stacking Kit lets you securely place your dryer on top of your washing machine, making better use of vertical space.
Energy-Efficient Benefits:
· Improves workflow, so you can move laundry more efficiently between appliances.
· Built-in sliding shelf makes loading and unloading easier and more ergonomic—especially when transferring damp loads from washer to dryer.
· Reduces appliance movement, improving balance and reducing wear and tear that can make machines less efficient over time.

Does the kit require drilling?
No! The Care+Protect Stacking Kit is quick to install and requires no drilling, preserving your appliances and keeping your setup hassle-free.

Wash & Dry Shoe Rack: Cleaner Shoes, Protected Machines
Shoes can be awkward to wash—and even risk damaging your washer or dryer drum when tumbling. That’s where the Care+Protect Wash & Dry Shoe Rack comes in.
Energy-Efficient Benefits:
· Prevents tumbling, reducing impact damage and excess noise that strains your machine’s motor.
· Keeps shoes in place, allowing for more efficient washing and drying.
· Modular and extendable design ensures a snug fit, reducing wasted motion that can impact energy usage.
Top Questions Answered:
Can I use the rack in both washing machines and dryers?
Yes! It’s safe and effective for both washing and drying cycles.
What kinds of shoes can it handle?
It’s suitable for most casual footwear, trainers, and lightweight sports shoes.
