Did you ever walk past someone's house and the smell of their fabric softener / dryer sheets is so strong it sticks in your nose for hours? Maybe you are one of those houses and like the fragrance emitted. Did you stop to think what a dryer sheet actually is? Those perfume-laden and even fragrance free sheets and liquid are full of toxic chemicals.

As Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, puts it -

“When people use dryer sheets, they are coating their clothes with a thin film of artificial chemical perfumes. Just like other perfumes, a person’s sensitivity to these perfumes decreases over time to the point where they don’t even notice how potent these artificial fragrance chemicals are. None of this would be interesting if it weren’t for the fact that these fragrance chemicals are extremely toxic. They are known carcinogens. They cause liver damage and cancer in mammals.” Mike Adams

Michelle Cook, the author of The Brain Wash states these are the 7 most common chemicals found in dryer sheets and their effect on the central nervous system:

1. Alpha-Terpineol causes central nervous system disorders. Can also cause loss of muscular coordination, central nervous system depression, and headache.
   
   2. Benzyl Alcohol causes central nervous system disorders, headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, central nervous system depression, and, in severe cases, death.
   
   3. Camphor on the US EPA’s Hazardous Waste list. Central nervous system stimulant, causes dizziness, confusion, nausea, twitching muscles, and convulsions.
   
   4. Chloroform on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list. Neurotoxic and carcinogenic.
   
   5. Ethyl Acetate on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list. Narcotic. May cause headaches and narcosis (stupor).
   
   6. Linalool causes central nervous system disorders. Narcotic. In studies of animals, it caused ataxic gait (loss of muscular coordination), reduced spontaneous motor activity, and depression.
   
   7. Pentane causes headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, and loss of consciousness. Repeated inhalation of vapours causes central nervous system depression.

Did you know that there are no regulations about what companies can put on a dryer sheet? Did you also know that chemical cocktail coats your clothes & then soaks into your skin.

Does that creep you out? Pretty horrifying, isn't it? What's a person to do that wants static free clothes but not the chemicals? Get yourself some wool dryer balls! These little guys are fantastic AND you can use pure, therapeutic grade essential oils to freshen your clothes. Personally we prefer Lavender essential oil or Purification essential oil but have been creative and used Ylang Ylang and Stress Away too.  We only use Young Living essential oils because of their Seed to Seal guarantee and there are other essential oils out there that are simply fragrance oils. You don't want those and you definitely do not want those on your skin!
