i have been looking into making a dryer bag (like a sashet bag) and can't seem to find answers to a few questions. wondering if anyone has ever made one?
i have seen a few made with plastic poly beads that have been soaked in fragrance and then placed in the bag with dried lavender. they say to scent it again when the scent is gone. also to keep it in a sealed jar when not in use.
will the fragrance oil make spots on the clothes in the dryer? Should i use pure essential oils? i know the poly beads will be fine---have dried those before.

help me out if you have any experience and would like to share.

i put lavender flowers and a little bit of lavender EO into an organic cotton bag I have and toss it in the dryer when I use the dryer.

Tasha- does the lavender do anything for static cling? I don't want to use regular dryer sheets, but the static is getting really bad.

i dont have static! apparently lavender reduces the -ions that cause static and is really bad and saps our energy....all in a pretty little flower!
