Dryer sheets contain poisons and toxins that can irritate or cause allergies among individuals that are sensitive. Stop using dryer sheet immediately. The chemicals in dryer sheets are formulated to stay in the fabric of your clothing for as long as possible. Therefore the toxins they carry, stay with you and your family. They rub onto your skin and are inhaled into lungs continually all day. No one knows for sure how dangerous or safe they are. Individuals with allergies, eczema, asthma and other skin conditions are particularly susceptable to such toxins.

White vinegar can freshen clothing and remove static from laundry. Put 1/4 white vinegar in each wash load. DO NOT USE if you are using bleach in the same wash load. The smell of the white vinegar will dissipate and you will only smell the smell of your laundry detergent when your clothes are finished being laundered.

If you need to use bleach, then wash your clothes a second time using the 1/4 cup vinegar. DO NOT PUT bleach and vinegar in the same load. Vinegar and bleach can react poorly to each other.

Baking soda can also freshen laundry. Sprinkle some baking soda in each wash load for freshening. Baking soda will not help to eliminate static. Baking soda and vinegar can be used together in a wash load, but do not mix bleach with other items. DO NOT PUT bleach and baking soda in the same wash load.

If you have family members that have sensitivities, you can rinse your wash load an extra time. I definitely recommend it, especially if you used bleach in the load.

Before putting your clothes into the dryer remove any 100% synthetic fabric items out of your load. Hang them to dry. They will last longer and you will reduce any static in your load.
