How do dryer sheets work?

I’ve always been curious how a tiny piece of fabric is capable of removing all the static from your dried clothes. Thanks 🙂

So first of all, what is static? It’s a buildup of charge that causes our clothes to stick to us.

To get rid of that charge we need to balance it out with something charged the opposite of it.

Dryer sheets are coated with a material that is charged oppositely when heated to negate the charge of the clothes.
