One recent tip I have is to make your own reusable dryer sheets - mix equal parts fabric softener and water in a jar, and keep small sponges in there. When it’s time to use the dryer, wring out a sponge and throw it in with the clothes. Works wonderfully! And it takes forever to go through the mix.
