Simple Safety Pin Hack Eliminates Static Cling from Dryer Balls
Fashion stylist and TikTok creator Christie Moeller has shared an innovative solution to a common laundry dilemma: static cling when using dryer balls. While wool dryer balls are lauded for their eco-friendly benefits, including reducing drying time and softening fabrics, some users report an increase in static electricity. Moeller, known for her practical fashion and style advice, demonstrated a simple yet effective hack involving a small safety pin. According to her, attaching a safety pin to one of the dryer balls before placing it in the dryer can significantly reduce static. "When the pin touches the metal of the dryer, the electrons are discharged into the drum and away from your clothes," Moeller explained in her video. This process prevents the buildup of static charges, resulting in clothes that are soft and free from cling. The tip aims to help individuals continue using their non-toxic, eco-friendly dryer balls without the frustrating side effect of static.
