Eliminate Static with Aluminum Foil in the Dryer

Dryer sheets coat your clothing with chemicals. Eliminate the need for dryer sheets by placing aluminum foil balls in the dryer. Throw the balls in with the wet clothes and let them tumble away.

I use a ball of heavy duty aluminum foil approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter. As the ball is used it becomes more compact and smooth. I have eliminated static by using only one ball, if you live in an especially dry area, you may need to use 2 or 3 balls.

You will hear the ball clank around a bit, but this is a very low cost way to eliminate expensive dryer sheets.
