The Shocking Truth About Static — You Don't Have to Live With It
What goes on behind closed dryer doors can be downright scandalous. Peeks inside can often reveal socks cohabiting with slacks, t-shirts fraternizing with handkerchiefs... and not to mention the unmentionables. It may be more than you care to see. But what causes good clothes to act so indecently? The answer is static.
 
Static cling has been demoralizing laundry rooms since the dawn of the dryer. It happens when clothing continuously rubs together within the appliance's dark, dry environment. The friction generates static electricity, which in turn creates an attraction between various garments. The problem is serious, but through proper education and the right products, you can prevent static.
A Fresh Defense
To battle static where it happens, use Downy Sheets in your dryer. These effective static stoppers are formulated with softening ingredients that release with the heat and tumbling motion of your dryer. The released elements surround clothes keeping them from developing static charges and clinging to each other.
Don't be shocked by misbehaving laundry, take charge of your static situation with Downy Sheets.
