Note: This trick is mainly for use in the dryer, not the washing machine.
Run the dryer cycle as usual.
Once the load is done, remove your soft, static-free clothes!
Serving and Storage Tips:
One foil ball can last up to 2 months or around 30–40 dryer cycles.
Store the used foil ball in your laundry area between uses.
If it starts to fall apart or lose shape, simply make a new one.
Variations:
Add a drop of essential oil (like lavender or lemon) to a cloth and toss it in with the foil ball for a gentle fragrance.
For large loads, use 2–3 foil balls for better effectiveness.
Use this in combination with wool dryer balls for optimal softness and reduced wrinkles.
