Bounce Dryer Sheets

⚠️ USE WITH CAUTION

Reducing static and adding fragrance in the dryer

Materials

Polyester substrate
Dihydrogenated tallowamidoethyl hydroxyethylmonium methosulfate
Synthetic fragrance

Common claims

Static guard
Fresh scent
Softens fabrics

Concerns / watch-outs

Polyester sheet contributes microplastics into the dryer exhaust and fabrics

Quat-based softening compounds on the sheet are sensitizers with repeated exposure

Notes

Bounce and similar dryer sheets deposit fragrance and quat chemicals directly onto fabric at heat — among the most direct routes of laundry chemical exposure to skin. Wool dryer balls eliminate static without chemicals.
