I make my own fabric softener using baking soda, vinegar and water and a drop of essential oil. I use this along with dryer balls for soft, fresh-smelling, no static clothes.

Dryer balls are GREAT! I use two in my dryer .. after time they do split, but I have only gone thur four in just over a year! I get them at my local grocery store for $3.99 for two!

I love dryer balls! I actually made some following a tutorial at http://goodmama.typepad.com (click tutorials on the left side). I have been using dryer balls for about a year now. Mostly because I am cheap and fabric softener is expensive (especially if you have a teenage girl filling up the softener and bleach reservoirs to the top in your washing machine). Fabric softener is also flammable; and after thinking about it, I thought it silly to coat my clothing with chemicals. After making my own and loving them, I made a bunch more. I gave these away for Mother’s Day, Christmas, and birthdays this year. Everyone loooved them. It was a very thoughtful gift that your son came up with. I only have static problems when I dry something that has a high content of manmade fabric and then only a few things stick to that item. Enjoy your new money saving gift!
