I have a friend who’s a complete health nut and had mentioned how dangerous dryer sheets are to our health, but I just chalked it up to him being over the top. I just stuck my head in the sand and didn’t inquire any further. Therefore, I didn’t really know why they were dangerous to our health until I ran across this information it got my attention!
Thrive Market tells us why she makes these eco-friendly dryer sheets. These little sheets contain Benzyl Acetate that is linked to pancreatic cancer, Benzyl Alcohol that is linked to causing lung irritation, and Ethanol that is linked to central nervous system disorders.
Ditch those dryer sheets and make Eco-Friendly Dryer Sheets! Start by cutting up old t-shirts and put into a mason jar. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar, 10 drops of your favorite essential oil, stir together and store in an air tight container.
These all natural dryer sheets can be washed and reused.
