Say goodbye to the endless buying of dryer sheets and hello to a clever, budget-friendly hack that works wonders. This incredibly easy tip not only delivers great results but also helps you save a significant amount of money over time.
Here’s what you’ll need for this life-changing DIY:
A container with an airtight lid (like a 2-quart food storage bowl with a screw-on lid)
4-6 sponges (opt for small, thin, and affordable ones)
2 cups of fabric softener (choose any brand or scent you prefer)
4-5 cups of water

Simply mix the fabric softener with water in the container, then add the sponges. Secure the lid to let the sponges soak thoroughly.
When you’re ready to use one, just squeeze the excess mixture out of a sponge and toss it into the dryer with your laundry. Once your clothes are dry, return the sponge to the container for future use.
You’ll find the results are just as effective as those pricey dryer sheets, without the waste. Plus, you’ll rarely need to refill your container—maybe only twice a year, depending on your laundry frequency.
And if you’re working with a smaller container, no worries! Just adjust the mixture to fit, using the simple ratio of 1 cup fabric softener to 2 cups water. A little extra water won’t harm the effectiveness.
The cost savings are impressive, too. With sponges, a container, and fabric softener all possibly sourced from a dollar store, your total outlay could be as low as $5. This easy, sustainable switch not only benefits your wallet but also reduces waste, making it a smart choice for eco-conscious individuals.
