“Static builds up when fabrics rub together and exchange electrons,” says Behnam Pourdeyhimi, director of the Nonwovens Cooperative Research Center at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh. “Dryer sheets contain positively charged ingredients that are released by heat and movement, such as the tumbling motion of the dryer. These ingredients bond loosely to any negatively charged fabric surface, such as a piece of clothing with static cling, neutralizing the charge and acting as a lubricant.”
Use Dryer Sheets to:
• Freshen smelly shoes. Insert a dryer sheet into the offending pair and let sit overnight.
• Clean pet hair from the floor or furniture. Rub a dryer sheet over the spot where Fluffy left her fur.
