What Are Dryer Sheets Used For?
Dryer sheets are used to reduce static, soften clothes, and add fragrance to laundry when it is dried in a clothes dryer. They contain a thin layer of fabric softener that is released during the drying process, and the static reducing properties of the sheets come from a thin coating of lubricant. They are a popular laundry accessory because they make clothes feel softer and smell fresher than if they were dried without them.
