Yes, fabric softener sheets are commonly used in the dryer to reduce static cling and add a pleasant scent to the laundry. These sheets are typically made of thin, non-woven fabric coated with fabric softener and other chemicals.
To use fabric softener sheets in the dryer:
- Load the dryer with your wet laundry as usual.
- Before turning on the dryer, add one fabric softener sheet on top of the laundry.
- Start the dryer as you normally would, and the sheet will release its fabric softener and fragrance as the dryer heats up and tumbles the clothes.
The fabric softener in the sheet helps to soften the fabric, reduce static electricity, and make the clothes feel more comfortable. The pleasant scent also adds a fresh fragrance to your laundry.
It's important to note that while fabric softener sheets are widely used and generally safe, some people with sensitive skin or allergies may experience irritation or allergic reactions to the chemicals in the sheets. If you or someone in your household has sensitive skin or allergies, you may want to consider using alternative fabric softening methods, such as liquid fabric softeners added during the wash cycle or using dryer balls made of natural materials.
