Earth-friendly and non-toxic

In 2010, Cyndi Prince set out to create a healthy home environment for her newborn son. With a focus on the laundry room, she was determined to find a product that would naturally help soften clothes and eliminate dryer sheets that are full of toxic chemicals. After months of trial and error, LooHoo was born. 

LooHoos are a high-quality wool dryer ball made from local resources and are ideal for those seeking Earth-friendly and sustainable lifestyles.

“Like many moms, I'm careful not to expose my family to household cleaners that may contain toxic chemicals that can cause a serious illness,” reads a statement from Prince on her website. “I have helped thousands of homes protect their family's health by providing a natural alternative to toxic dryer sheets.”

Based in Maine, the company uses only 100% domestic wool in order to support the local economy and the USA Farming Industry. Prince has crafted a unique manufacturing technique that allows her to make a consistent, high-quality wool dryer ball that is dense and durable.

LooHoos are available in packs ranging from three to a dozen as well as gift boxes and bundles, featuring laundry room essentials like lavender linen mist, laundry stain sticks, and laundry soap in natural scents. 

“We are excited for the upcoming holiday season since LooHoos makes a great gift,” Prince tells BLK Oceans. “We anticipate being extremely busy right up until Christmas as we happily ship LooHoos all over the country.”
