This is where the game begins. Aluminum foil, rolled into small balls, acts as a natural softener during washing and drying of clothes. When the foil balls are spun in the washing machine or dryer drum together with the clothes, they create a gentle pressure that helps reduce wrinkles and prevents the build-up of static electricity. This process not only keeps the clothes soft and static-free, but also slightly 'irons' them, making them look flawlessly smooth.
