How to Remove an Anti-Static Dryer Ball
If you are looking for a more eco-friendly way of reducing static in your clothing, consider purchasing dryer balls. Dryer balls are made of rubber, and have little soft spikes sticking out all over them. These balls contain no chemicals, unlike fabric softener sheets. That means you will not experience a film on your lint trap that causes the dryer to run less efficiently. Dryer balls can also decrease the amount of time it takes to dry your clothes, saving you money on your energy bills. While dryer balls are reusable, you will eventually need to remove them from the dryer and replace them with new ones. Does this Spark an idea?
