How to Prevent Sheets from Balling Up in the Dryer

5. Don’t Overload

If your dryer is jammed full, there’s no room for anything to move around.
Drying fewer items at once = less balling, better airflow, faster drying.

6. Try the “Towel Trick”

Tossing in a dry towel with the wet sheets can help absorb moisture and reduce drying time — which means less opportunity for balling up.

7. Use the Lowest Heat Possible

High heat can cause sheets to twist and shrink faster.
Use low to medium heat and let the dryer do its thing more gently.

🛏 Final Thoughts: No More Sheet Showdowns

It might take a little extra effort, but these habits can save you time, energy, and frustration.
No more wrestling with twisted duvet covers.
No more half-damp corners hiding in cotton caves.
No more laundry meteor showers.

Just flat, soft, tangle-free sheets — every time.
