Scented Dryer Sheets

⚠️ USE WITH CAUTION

Reducing static and adding fragrance in the dryer

Materials

  • Polyester substrate
  • Softeners
  • Fragrance

Common claims

  • Static control
  • Fresh scent

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Single-use; adds microplastics and fragrance chemicals to fabrics and air

Notes

Skip for babies and anyone with sensitivities; reusable options work without added chemicals.

Cleaner alternatives

Persil ProClean Detergent

⚠️ USE WITH CAUTION

High-performance laundry washing with enzyme-powered cleaning

Materials

  • Surfactants
  • Enzyme blend
  • Optical brighteners
  • Fragrance

Common claims

  • #1 rated detergent in Europe
  • Deep stain removal
  • Long-lasting freshness

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Heavy fragrance formulation in most varieties; optical brighteners persist on fabric
  • Some formulas contain relatively high surfactant concentrations that may irritate sensitive skin

Notes

Strong cleaning performance, but the fragrance-heavy and brightener-laden formula isn't ideal for a low-tox laundry routine. Persil Sensitive is a better option for those who prefer this brand.
