However, the static electricity build up was pretty impressive too, so I got the cheapest unscented dryer sheets and cut them in half. NOW, I live in the UK, and have a weird machine that both washes and dries the clothes. I have gone back to hanging laundry out to dry, but, that whole stereotype about it raining quite often is very true, meaning sometimes, I do have to use the dryer function. Dryer sheets can't go through the wash first, so, I dilute the fabric softener by 3/4. Works for Me.

It has been working fine for me on full loads. I also save them if they still feel a little 'firm' and reuse a couple of used ones for the next load. Once those are done they get shoved into an empty paper towel roll and I use them to clean in the kitchen then toss. I tried using vinegar and it just didn't work for me. Perhaps if you only owned cotton items. It does nothing for the static in synthetic fibers. Next I want to try where you dilute liquid fabric softener with water, saturate and then ring out a washcloth and put it in like a dryer sheet. And I never put fabric softener sheets or otherwise in a load of towels. The fab softener sheets have also been down-sized over the years. I have some older used sheets that I had ironed and used for interfacing on sewn crafts. The sheets were much sturdier and much larger than they are now and I used to be able to use a sheet for several loads. Ditto on cutting them in half. It has been working fine for me on full loads.
