I found an article about wool dryer balls. It said you could use them instead of dryer sheets, so I thought I'd try them if it could save me money. Have you ever used wool dryer balls? Yes

Unfortunately I could not replace the dryer sheets with the balls. My first load was literally all stuck together with static. Have you ever tried replacing whatever you use to control static? Yes

I did find however that the dryer balls do help reduce the static. I found that dryer sheets didn't eliminate the static completely, but if I also use the dryer balls with the dryer sheets, my clothes are static free. Do you use anything, either in combination with, or instead of dryer sheets or fabric softener, to help eliminate the static in your laundry? If so, please comment below. Yes
