Dryer sheets are composed of liquid softeners, lubricants and fragrances coated on a layer of fabric, which is often made of polyester or cellulose fibers.

Dryer sheets work to eliminate static cling, help make your clothes softer to the touch and can infuse a fresh scent. One of the top benefits of dryer sheets is the ingredients that help tackle and neutralize the effects of built-up static in clothes.

Dryer sheets reduce static electricity that forms in the dryer due to too many loose electrons giving clothing atoms a negative charge. The fabric softeners coating the dryer sheet fabric are cationic, or positively charged ions and equalize the electrons and ions to prevent static.

This innovative laundry detergent sheet is ideal for travel - light, portable, convenient for laundromat or suitcase. Our no-bleach, concentrated laundry detergent sheets are tough on odors, dirt, and stains and feature a fresh linen scent.

Most dryer sheets are made from a nonwoven polyester material coated with a softening agent that has a long hydrophobic chain. Fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and alcohol ethoxylates are all possible softening agents.

What's in a Dryer Sheet? Dryer sheets are typically made up of plastic fibers, sometimes combined with natural fibers. These fibers are coated with fragrance, fragrance-dispersing chemicals, heat-activated softeners and other potentially harmful chemicals.

If you throw a lot of synthetic fabrics in the dryer, everything is stuck together when you pull it out and you can hear it crackle. So dryer sheets were invented to help reduce static electricity and unexpected shocks.

The Environmental Working Group's senior research and database analyst Samara Geller told Apartment Therapy that dryer sheets contain a potentially harmful chemical called quaternary ammonium compounds (QACS). According to Geller, at the very least it's been known to cause and/or worsen asthma and skin irritations.

Dryer sheets work by helping to make laundry feel softer to the touch and reducing static. Dryer heat releases the liquid softeners, lubricants and fragrances inside dryer sheets, transferring softeners and scents onto your fabrics.

“Fabric conditioner is infused during the wash cycle and goes into the actual fibers of the fabric to condition and protect clothes from stretching, fading and fuzzing, while dryer sheets are heat activated in the dryer and work on the surface to fight wrinkles and static,” explains Mary Johnson, P&G fabric care ...
