Fabric Softener Sheets
A Fabric Softener Sheet can be placed in the dryer at the start of the drying cycle. They
are useful for reducing static cling as well as acting as a fabric softener.
Static cling happens when clothing continuously rubs together within the dryer. Within
this dry environment, friction generates static electricity, which in turn, creates an
attraction between various garments.
Softening ingredients in the fabric softener sheet are released by the heat and the
tumbling motion of the dryer. These ingredients have a lubrication effect that gives
fabrics similar surface characteristics. This helps prevent a build up of electrons. Fabric
softener sheets control static better than traditional liquids. The lubricating effect on the
fabric, causes fibers to feel smoother and fluffs fibers to prevent the matting that forms
harsh clumps during drying.
Testing:
Fabric Softener Sheets have been used in the AeroSmart dryer throughout its
development. We have not found any issues with the sheets interfering with the dryer’s
sensing. Therefore we do not have a problem recommending the use of Fabric Softener
Sheets.
What do we say in the User Guide:
If you want to use fabric softener sheets, you must ensure that they are labelled dryer
safe. Always follow the instructions on the packaging. Do not place them in a dryer
with warm clothes as there is a chance the fabric softener may stain clothes.
Only use a softener sheet once, then discard it.
