I use the store brand non scented fabric sheets for no static. They seem to be less expensive then aluminum foil. I only wash small loads at a time. DH did a spread sheet. Power cost to run the machine for small loads is less then water cost for large loads. He can tell you how much is saved over a year's time. I guess a few yards of fabric worth. LOL Makes no sense to me but he likes doing this stuff.

I wouldn't put aluminum in my dryer. Why wouldn't it leave aluminum residue on the clothes - nano size, but unwanted. I don't need fabric softener with a water softener, but I do use the spiky balls. They seem to fluff the towels.

After reading this thread I may try it and the vinegar in the rinse. I use to wash diapers with vinegar and rinse the too with vinegar and they were soft and fresh. The aluminum foil I think I will stay away from. I will continue with my dryer sheet or the home made sponge dryer pops I make every year or so.
