Something that no one has mentioned on using dryer sheets is using them IN your dryer. IF you do use dryer sheets, be sure and check your lent trap. If you have never washed it IN hot soapy water, you will most likely find that taking that screen and running cold water over it, the water will stay right there on the screen, because it is so clogged with the chemicals from the dryer sheets. To help lessen the chance of a fire in your dryer, you need to consider washing that screen periodically in hot, soapy (Dawn) water. Then you will see how cold water will go right thru that screen; and make your drying clothes in the dryer much more efficient AND safe.
