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.

Benefits:

  • Safe
  • No Chemicals Added and
  • 100% Soft and Fresh.

I really like this idea and it will not only save your health, but will save you a lot of money. These puppies aren’t cheap!

My laundry comes out smelling so good and with no static! You can make these in minutes and use them over and over again. Give this a try…there’s lots of great smelling essential oils out there and you get to pick how you want your clothes to smell!

Watch how Thrive Market makes these DIY dryer sheets in her step by step tutorial and save your health!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
