I have not had good luck with a “wet” fabric softener in the dryer. I found that it left a residue/spots on my clothes. I have found that taking an old towel or rag & doing the same thing but letting the towels dry completely first has worked better for me. I am always up for challenges so I might just try this since it is watered down a little bit :)

I do something similar, only I let it completely dry before I throw it in. Saves a ton of money! Great idea!

I’ve heard wadding up an aluminum foil ball works. Any thoughts?

I have tried the wadded aluminum. And it works wonders!!! Makes clothing VERY soft.

You can get a bag of practice-quality tennis balls for cheap in the sporting goods aisle at Target, etc. Throw a couple of those in the dryer along with your wet clothes. They get rid of the static and – for people like me who are sensitive to scents – leave your clothes smelling like clean clothes.

To keep static away put a small stainless steel(not all pins are s.steel) on a seam inside your clothes. You won’t have static problems anymore. i do this on all my clothes that have nylon in them. It works!
