Dryer Sheets

Dryer sheets aren't too expensive, but they do add up over time. More importantly, dryer sheets contain chemicals and end up in landfills. Zapping the static cling is easy to do with homemade, reusable sheets.

Find a rectangular plastic container to store your dryer sheets. Then, cut some leftover fabric into rectangular shapes that fit nicely into the container. Make a mixture of two parts water to one part generic fabric softener. This will eliminate the static cling in your dryer. Then, stack the fabric in the container and pour the liquid generously over the pieces. The fabric will soak up the liquid mixture; keep the container sealed. Throw each fabric sheet into the dryer with your loads and then stack them until your container needs to be refilled. Each fabric sheet will last for one load
