How does it work? Replace dryer sheets,
used to create a guard against the buildup of static electricity during
machine drying, with a little ball of ordinary tinfoil.
The Result: Opinions are split. On one hand, this extremely simple
homemade device is somewhat effective. The laundry did come out of the
dryer static electricity-free, but the tinfoil did not soften it or give
it the fresh smell we all love.
It depends on which properties are more important to you.
