Reduce Static Cling
To reduce static cling naturally, toss a few (clean!) tennis balls into your dryer with your laundry. Tumble dry on low heat. The balls will bounce around, keeping clothes from sticking together.

Break in New Jeans
New jeans are great, except for how stiff they are when you first put them on. Break them in without having to do some strange squats by throwing them into your dryer with a few tennis balls. After 15 minutes on low they’ll be as good as…worn!
Line Drying
Line drying your clothes is energy efficient and great for them. Not only is air-drying less harsh, you’ll love the real smell of sun-dried linens. If you don’t have a clothesline, hang shirts and pants on hangers from tree limbs! Just make sure not to put brights in the sun, as they made fade.
Makeshift Clothesline
If you need to air dry delicates but don’t have a clothesline, hang a long strand of dental floss and place lightweight clothes on it to dry. Floss is sturdy enough to hold underwear, bathing suits, and even tank tops and light T-shirts.
Clothesline Expansion
If you love the smell of air-dried clothing, but never have enough room on your clothesline, you’ll love this ingenious trick: Pull the fabric off an old umbrella that has a hooked handle. Then open it up, hang it from the line, and you’ll have a bunch of spokes on which to hang your laundry overflow.
