I've had to start using our clothes drier because of the weather. All of our clothes is coming out as one bring static ball! I don't want to use drier sheets but I'm not sure what to do. I've never had this problem.
What do you do?

Thanks!
Emily

I put some liquid softener on a washcloth (I think I read that here) but there must be a more natural solution.

I do believe you can put a safety pin on the inside of each leg to "short" out the static electricity. I read this somewhere....
Let us know if it works,

I posted this question on another forum as well and received an answer that seems to work for us at least. They said to take a baby washcloth and dab a 3-4 drops of Lavender EO on to it and put it in the drier with your clothes. It is kind of like a drier sheet. We are using our baby washcloths so I just used 100% cotton scrap fabric that I surged the edges on. It worked! I was not sure at first but then forgot to put it in one of the loads which came out as one big ball of static and the load was 100% cotton diapers!
Just thought that I would share what I found out. Hopefully it works for others as well.
