So like, I've been having really bad static electricity in my sheets lately and I don't use dryer sheets since I'm pretty allergic to most chemicals (I use a hypoallergenic baby detergent).

And so... I'm thinking of trying dryer balls:

Anyone tried these before and know if they work?

I'm kinda worried about this happening...

If that doesn't work I guess I'll try some hypoallergenic dryer sheets and see if that works, but it's pretty iffy even on the hypoallergenic stuff that I can use.

Not sure I think your best bet would be to look up reviews online.

Have you tries just taking the sheets and bundling it up (sort of like a big club) and smacking it against a wall or something? It sounds silly but smacking stuff usually removes static buildup from it. Work on my clothes, never tried on sheets.

lol I definitely don't think that works or I'm doing it way wrong...
