At the request of my mother, I'm addressing dryer sheets. I found out several months ago that dryer sheets are full of chemicals. Like the kind that can cause asthma in children, etc. An alternative is throwing a damp cloth into the dryer when drying your clothes. I have front loaders and have actually found that if I use a lower setting like medium-low with a shorter dry time, such as 40 min, I eliminate almost all static without a dryer sheet. Think of all the money saved! And of course in the summer, I have the most fabulous laundry line so I can dry outside...there is nothing that smells sweeter!
