Dryer Sheets

I am looking for dryer sheets that are gluten free. I'v searched through other threads, but have not seen a definite answer. Since I don't live in a big city, we don't have a large selection of supermarkets. I'm looking for something fairly common for someone who's not overly sensitive. Thanks!

My dh has sensitive skin and gets headaches from smelly things like fabric softener, so I just rinse his clothes in white vinegar. It gets most of the static out if I use enough.

I agree about the white vinegar. I just fill up the fabric softener cup with straight white vinegar. Keeps everything soft, removes any leftover soap and keeps my washer from having any mineral build up. Towels also absorb more water since fabric softener reduces their absorbency.

With all due respect, why should anyone be worried about dryer sheets? They are not eaten or ingested, so I don't see how they could be a problem.

Please enlighten me.

best regards, lm

I use Free and Clear with no problems when I do use dryer sheets.

Anything that leaves a residue that can be picked up and transferred to the mouth or nose can be an issue for some that are supersensitive or may have open DH lesions. For those who are not supersensitive it may not be an issue. If it has never been an issue for you then don't worry about it.

I never thought of this... I do use Bounce -fragrance free. I can't tolerate anything with fragrance & it seems not to bother me.

Does anyone know if the Bounce -fragrance free is gluten free?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
