A ball of aluminum foil can solve your most annoying laundry problem. How to use it in your dryer

Tightly crumpled aluminum foil balls can effectively reduce static cling in laundry loads. These reusable balls act as conductors, discharging built-up electricity during the drying cycle. Simply toss one or two foil balls into your dryer with wet clothes for best results. This inexpensive hack offers a natural alternative to disposable dryer sheets. It also produces less household waste and leaves no chemical residue.
