00:00Something like avoiding dryer sheets is easy to do, yet makes a significant difference in the quality and longevity of
00:07your 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
00:33contribute 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.
00:51When you consider that many people use at least one dryer sheet, and sometimes much more, that's a lot of
00:58trash.
