How to Make Your Own Natural Dryer Sheets

When you are struggling to keep up with a busy, messy family, taking the time to ensure that all of your cleaning supplies are natural can be difficult. 

With that said, however, it can also be well worth the effort.  Many drugstore-bought cleaning supplies, including dryer sheets, are often made with chemicals that have never been tested for safety.  By using natural or organic cleaning supplies, you can ensure that your children and loved ones are safer without having to spend all your time reading the fine print on labels.

Sun & Earth makes great dryer sheets that biodegrade in only 21 days once they are composted, which is excellent for the environment.  These sheets are great for reducing static cling and are available in orange or unscented varieties.  

Another great idea if you are looking for non-toxic dryer sheets is to make your own.  Simply taking a damp washcloth and adding about ten or so drops of pure essential oil in your favorite fragrance will help eliminate static while giving your clothes a lovely and lasting scent.  The oils are inexpensive, putting these dryer sheets on the list of easily affordable cleaning supplies found at most grocery stores.

Cleaning your home while keeping your family safe (and without damaging the environment) is possible, you just have to know where to start.  Choosing cleaning supplies such as dryer sheets that do not have harsh chemicals is a great place to begin, whether you choose Sun and Earth or make your own.  Try it today – you’ll never need to buy dryer sheets again!
