  • Summary

  • Story at-a-glance
    • Dryer sheets emit toxic chemicals like benzene and acetaldehyde, which pose cancer risks, irritate skin, disrupt hormones and harm brain health through inhalation or direct contact
    • Synthetic fragrances in dryer sheets trigger allergic reactions, asthma and neurological symptoms like brain fog, especially in those with chemical sensitivities or underlying health conditions
    • Dryer sheets leave behind residue that clogs lint screens, damages sensors, reduces efficiency and even increases the risk of dryer fires if not properly cleaned
    • These products also degrade clothing, especially towels and athletic wear, by coating fabrics with a waxy film that reduces absorbency and impairs moisture-wicking properties
    • Safer alternatives include organic wool dryer balls, white vinegar with essential oils, aluminum foil balls, air-drying and fragrance-free detergents to protect your health and home
