00:00Something like avoiding dryer sheets is easy to do, yet makes a significant difference in the quality and longevity of your clothing.
00:08This is according to lingerie expert Cora Harrington, who also deems dryer sheets, at best, absolutely useless.
00:16We're here to myth-bust the fact that dryer sheets soften, add fragrance, or remove static from your clothes.
00:23Instead, they are litter, Harrington continues.
00:26They work by putting a film of lipids and fragrances on your garments, which builds up over time and can contribute to clothing and towels smelling musty or stale, even after they've been washed and dried.
00:40HuffPost also reports they can also affect your appliances' effectiveness over time.
00:44Dryer sheets aren't just a money waster.
00:47They can't be reused and don't decompose easily, so they are wasteful too.
00:52When you consider that many people use at least one dryer sheet, and sometimes much more, that's a lot of trash.
