Green Tip: Dryer Sheets are Harmful, not Helpful

Dryer Sheets: Harmful, Not Helpful

Dryer sheets often contain harmful chemicals to make ‘nice’ smells. The chemicals stay on our clothes and get absorbed by our skin. The chemicals are also released into our neighbourhood air.


The residue sticks in the dryer and lessens its efficiency and longevity. And dryer sheets are single-use.


Alternative: Don’t over-dry your clothes or, better still, hang-dry them.
