Laundry and the dryer are part of everyone's home life, and one of the products most used for this purpose is the dryer sheet. This common household product is laced with toxic fragrances, and the results are wreaking havoc on people’s nervous systems, leading, in several cases, to neurological diseases like dementia. Although it’s impossible to completely get rid of all the toxins in your environment, it is possible to lessen your exposure to them.
Some people have the time and space, and happen to live in the correct climate for drying clothes on a washing line, but most of us have to make use of a dryer. Many people pop in dryer sheets without concern, because they make laundry soft, fragrant, and static free. Few people suspect what this product really contains.
Opt for more natural products, organic if possible, that can leave your clothes smelling pleasant without damaging your health. The best practice is to check the label to see what ingredients are in the product. Another option is to stop using dryer sheets altogether.
Healthy natural products can be expensive solutions and aren’t always easy to find. For the more frugal-minded you can make your own woolen dryer balls. They do the same job as dryer sheets. They also halve the drying time and seldom need replacing. Just throw in 3 to 6 of these balls into your dryer, with a few drops of essential oil for a non-toxic fragrance. Remember to tie them tightly.
