I place a tightly rolled ball of aluminum foil in every dryer load to discharge any static from my laundry. Take a yard of aluminum foil and roll it into a ball, roughly the size of a baseball. Then just throw it into your dryer. It should last about sixty loads, getting increasingly smaller with each. Once it shrinks to the size of a golf ball, simply toss it into your recycling container and start over with a new ball of aluminum foil.
