Awfullydull and I are now best friends, I've been saying the same about dryer sheets for YEARS now

FUCK DRYER SHEETS pointless ass waste of money

What's a dryer sheet? I don't think I've heard of it before.

Literally just a thin disposable sheet of fabric impregnated with fabric softener that you throw in the dryer with your clothes. The idea is that it's supposed to make your clothes feel softer, smell better, and reduce static electricity. Waste of money and material, just throw a damn tennis ball in there

A microplastic rag dipped in PFAS.

I’m talking out of my ass bc I don’t use them either, but I’d wager a buck my description isn’t that far off.

You put them in your clothes dryer to make everything smell like chemical clean and make them a little softer. And reduce static? I think? They give me a rash, personally.

My MIL swears that dryer sheets are good for cleaning baseboards. You take one and rub it on a baseboard and some how dust just... avoids those annoying little nooks and crannies. I haven't had to clean them again in literal years, but thats the only good use I've heard for dryer sheets. It's a hack on a tiny task I never take time to care about really, not sure if that in anyway justifies the existence of dryer sheets, but there you go.
