I've heard dryer sheets aren't good for your clothes and I never liked using them in the first place, but gosh my clothes are just so staticky lately. I hate that feeling of how they stick to me and it's making my outfits look a bit awkward too. I'm just not sure what else to do. Please tell me there's an easy solution, I'm getting pretty desperate.

Use wool dryer balls during the dryer cycle. I recommend 3 dryer balls per load. Wool balls absorb moisture from clothing in the dryer, maintaining a more humid environment, and helping you get rid of static cling and friction.

You can also add a little bit of baking soda to the wash cycle to help prevent static cling before it goes in the dryer.

I use an anti-static spray. Works like a charm! If you don't have any on hand, try wiping your clothes down with a damp rag. Moisturizing your skin before you put the clothes on can also help.

This might be too big of a change to your laundry routine for you, but if you hang dry your clothes they won't be so static-y.
