Re: Dryer Sheets and laundry

[Guest guest]

Regarding drier sheets, does anyone have any suggestions on how to

take the electricity out of clothes without those? I don't use dryer

sheets but with humidity inside at 20% now for almost a month, pets

and people are all shocking each other. I'm using more moisturizer in

hope that will help some but my clothes throw sparks. I was just

about to *start* using drier sheets or put downey into wash water.

Barb,

Someone here suggested I use aluminum foin balled up. I guess it worked a bit.

But, not the extent that dryer sheets work. My daughter is able to tolerate the

" free " dryer sheets. But, some are not able to tolerate those either. Someone

also told to turn the dryer to cool after they are dry. I never tried that one.

Interesting, maybe the foil sets off all the sparks ahead of time or

something..?

Works for some. But, not me.

It doesn't work for me. The clothes are still full of static.

Well, I can tell you none of them work for me. Can't figure out why they work

for others and not me. Maybe I am just to picky when it comes to laundry. I

finally tried the free dryer sheets. They seem to work fine. But, I sure do

miss the smelly ones. hehehe

I hadn't noticed the 'free drier sheets'. I'll have to look. I

believe they leave a waxy substance on clothes to prevent the static

electricity. A friend of mine used to work for P & G here where I live

told me that. At least that is what they used to do. Actually I

think I heard it is better to use the fabric softener in wash machine,

something about drier sheets putting out that waxy substance and

getting on machine parts...? I can't remember, since at the time I

wasn't using them but now since I have not been humidifying air in

winter I am interested again in using a fabric softener, more skin

moisturizer and hair conditioner (which I didn't use to use either),

lip balm, etc, etc...

....and I noticed that Downy liquid fabric softener comes perfume and

dye free now. In fact I noticed about 1/3 of all cleaning products

advertised some perfume free version. It shows what a big problem

perfumes are becoming to people and one only wonders if it is because

mold or indoor air quality is becoming such a big problem.
