Eliminate Static Cling Without A Bunch Of Chemicals

The biggest problem with dryer sheets is that you have to buy them regularly and many of them are full of chemicals we would rather not rub all over our bodies. To remedy this problem simply wrap four to five tennis balls in aluminum foil and throw them in the dry with your clothes. The weight of the tennis balls will keep them tumbling around the dryer and the foil will stop static cling.

Save Your Car From An Accident

This is one of our favorite tennis ball hacks because it could save your car from thousands of dollars in damage. Slowly pull your car into your garage and position it exactly where you want to park every single time. Next, attach a tennis ball to a string and hang it from the garage ceilings or a ceiling truss. The ball should hang down so it touches the vehicle’s windshield. Every time you pull into your garage, you will stop driving right when the tennis ball touches your windshield.

Save Your Clothes From Poke Marks
