If you don't have fabric sheets or just don't want to buy them, try using aluminum foil instead! Crumple up a sheet of aluminum foil into a ball and toss it into the dryer. It eliminates static cling, lasts a long, long time, and costs practically nothing!

I've tried this before & it never did work for me. Neither did vinegar. Maybe it's just my machine or the air in my home,I don't know.
Sounds like a good idea. I'll try it. Next time I use my dryer.
Love the simplicity, gotta try it, I love "homemade stuff".
Maybe it's time I tried this. I have discovered adding a couple of capfuls to the wash cycle help deodorize, especially if I manually stop the load and soak it for up to an hour. A couple more capfuls also soften the load very nicely, but leaves the problem of static cling.
I have been using the aluminum foil balls but they don't work for me with the static cling.

Dose this really work?
Be careful! I used one and thought it great, it even heated up to speed drying UNTIL I found that it was breaking off the "paddles" or whatever you call them in a dryer that helps toss the clothes not stick to sides of dryer. At first I thought some black plastic bits had somehow got into the laundry until I felt the sharp edges inside my dryer. Loved it until bad stuff happened to my clothes and dryer. Be careful
Oh my goodness I can not wait to try this out...thanks for telling us about this and I'll keep you all updated on the results!
