    Dryer balls supposedly help with this

    From what I’ve heard, dryer balls help the drying process by warming up faster than the wet clothes and drying from inside the pile. And even if that turns out to have been misinformation, I’m not too annoyed by it because it’s a single low-cost expense whereas dryer sheets are consumables

      not sure how true this is, but they do help dry clothes faster because they’re knocking everything around more which distributes the air/heat better

      So I live in a super dry climate. I’ve gotten static shocks that leave my hand numb (not from the laundry, taking off layers while wearing rubber boots) because it’s just that dry here.

      Dryer balls don’t work for static in my experience. Put a couple pins in it? That didn’t work. Dryer sheets are pretty much the only thing that actually cuts it as far as I can tell.

      Yup, I saw a reasonably well-conducted study that verified they decrease dryer time.
