While in the dryer they absorb electrical charges so your clothes stay static free. They also tumble happily with your laundry softening it as it drys.

This trick is so simple. Aluminum foil dryer balls help reduce static but do not get clothes as soft as dryer sheets. As the foil becomes smooth add more foil or replace the balls with new ones.
