Second Method - You can use cotton balls, just add a few drops of essential oils onto the cotton balls and place them in a fabric pouch. Close the pouch and put it with your clothes in the dryer. The interesting fact is; you can easily store the cotton balls infused with essential oil for many days and use them whenever you need them.
Third Method - You can also club all the complementary essences by putting one to two drops of each onto the dryer balls. Stronger the smell, better the performance, as you can use the balls in two to three cycles back to back. Suppose you add too much of essential oil by mistake, don't be too worried, you can add the ball to a load containing some towels or fabrics that will absorb the oil properly. In fact, you can keep the ball for some time in the open, the ball will absorb some of the essential oil and the rest will get vaporized, then you can use the ball to run your load.
