My mother-in-law lives on a farm, grows her own food, is famous for her Mississippi Mud Cake and handed over one amazing son to me nearly two decades ago. When she offers a household tip, I listen. While I was with her in January, she shared this awesome tidbit with me.
She was out of dryer sheets and since static is a pain in the dead of winter, she crumpled up a piece of tin foil and tossed it in the dryer to remove static electricity. Boom. I love her.
What works for you?
That is amazing! I hate dryer sheets because they make my kids break out and itch., but the static! My kids’ hair looks like they stuck their finger in a light socket. Thanks for sharing the tip and hosting!
Wow! That is great! Dryer sheets cost too much anyway!
LOVE this idea!!!! I am going to have to try this one. May be done with dryer sheets.
Thank you very much for hosting this party! Come back later to enjoy what other participants have created! Have a nice day!

We tried this too! Be careful – the foil ball is HOT! Not only that, but after a few cycles, the ball is perfectly round – no crimps.
I use Norwex dryer balls. No static, no funky chemicals and it saves a lot of money over the long run!
Sooooooo much static this winter. I’m tryin’ it! I never remember to put in a dryer sheet until it’s too late, but foil … it’s crazy enough to make an impact on my brain.
Maybe I should make a hat to go with it …

Thanks for hosting!
Awesome, indeed!
So, how many times can you reuse the foil?
Thank you for the link up! God bless!
Wow, that is really cool! I have never heard of that tip before. Thanks for the tip and thanks for hosting!
