Hi Vicki - Not to answer your question directly, but we switched to wool dryer balls to eliminate the chemicals (you will never get rid of the lint.) Making your own wool dryer balls may seem complicated, but this is a simple step-by-step tutorial. They are so much safer than chemical softeners or dryer sheets, and they work really well. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

I’ve heard something along those lines as well but don’t know if it’s true. I use the wool balls as they’re reusable, minimizing trash.
