 Dryer sheets There is something magical in dryer sheets that triggers a repulsion in me that is strong and unique.  I really am repelled by the smell. I can smell this even if I am driving my Boxster (top down) past a home where someone is doing laundry. I hate the smell. Am I alone in this or is it common? Thanks! |

 Are you part mosquito? |

 They make towels virtually waterproof.  No kidding.  For those who have not noticed this, check it out.  If you want your towels to be absorbent, stop using fabric softener. |

 Drive a 911 and ya prolly won't even notice 'em :D | 
| 
 AHHH....the smell of oil and gas in the morning...its a thing of beauty |

 And the smell of all the hairdresser products in your Boxster doesn't bother you? You may be on to something though: Is the smell of dryer sheets toxic? They've been linked to respiratory illnesses, including asthma, and cancer. According to the Air Quality, Atmosphere & Health study, VOCs emitted from dryer vents after using popular brands of laundry detergent and scented dryer sheets included chemicals like acetaldehyde and benzene, which are considered carcinogenic |

 We don't use them. I've heard that the way that they soften your clothes is by breaking down the fibers which makes the clothes not last as long. I can sometimes be driving behind a car on the freeway where someone is smoking in the car with a window down, and I find that repulsive. |

 Dryer sheets are the go to method to keep critters out of stored campers, cars, etc so they must be toxic at some level. |

 I find them overpowering, so I rip them in 3 pieces and only use one third of the sheet for laundry . I do not use them on my own stuff,only on my wife's,  and kids clothes . I don't really even like them for sheets and towels . In college, we had a toilet paper tube stuffed with them, so that we could blow our bong hits into and not get caught smoking in the dorms . Good times |

 I use blue plastic balls with nipples in my dryer and they work well. (tennis ball size) :) | 
| 
 My wife has become sensitive to smells the last few years and loses her s##t when the neighbours  put the dryer on. The smell can be overpowering even 50 ft. away. She uses the balls as well. BTW They don't work to keep mice away. |

 I've had towels dried with dryer sheets and without.  I couldn't notice any difference in absorbency. A dryer load of clothes with no dryer sheets comes out with half of it stuck together due to static electricity. I say Yes to dryer sheets. :) |
