When clothes rub against each other in the washing machine, they create static electricity. This makes it difficult to iron them once they are dry. This is an outcome no one wants, but there is a simple solution: aluminum foil ball.
The ball makes ironing clothes very easy because it stops them from getting wrinkled while spinning. Moreover, the fibers are softer than usual, especially with wool and cotton.
How to use it with the washing machine.
Being careful is very important. Meanwhile, you need to ensure that the ball is firmly packed, or it will break apart when it spins. The outcome can be very troublesome. If the thin sheet tears and gets stuck on the drum, it can be hard to take it out from the washing machine and the clothes.
We also need to adjust our routines, because in both winter and summer we all tend to shorten drying times. The washing machine’s spin cycle is always on high so that clothes, towels, sheets, and everything else come out dry on average.
This is incorrect because items spun at high speed can get damaged and also because they don’t dry well when hung up. The outcome is always the same: when you try to iron them, it requires a lot of work. Also, some clothes are not ironed well because the main wrinkles are still there.
Using aluminum as a softener helps us save a significant amount of money.
Aluminum is seen by many homemakers who have been using it for a while as a natural and affordable way to soften fabrics. The aluminum ball protects clothes in the washing machine and lasts all year.
This means that you just have to make a small ball out of aluminum foil and put it in the washing machine every day for a year to consistently achieve the same outcome. There is no chance it won’t work, it might just get damaged or broken by heat.
Of course, it can’t substitute the 360° fabric softener because it gives clothes a unique scent that no other product can match.
