### How to Use the Aluminum Foil Trick

**Materials:**
– Aluminum foil
– Dryer
– Clothes (of course!)

**Steps:**

1. **Tear off a sheet of foil** about 2–3 feet long.
2. **Crumple it into a tight ball** roughly the size of a tennis ball. You want it compact enough to maintain its shape through multiple loads.
3. **Toss it in the dryer** with your wet clothes—no need to unwrap or open it.
4. **Dry as usual**. The foil ball will bounce around with your laundry, absorbing and neutralizing the static electricity.

### Bonus Tips

– **Reuse the foil balls** for up to 2–3 months or until they begin to unravel or flatten out.
– **Combine with wool dryer balls** if you want to add softness and reduce drying time naturally.
