Why are clothes stuck together when they come out of the dryer?

It's caused by static cling. As the clothes tumble around together, it causes friction between the fabrics, and certain fabrics (which is usually most fabrics) have the ability to create static electricity, or static cling, that keeps clothes stuck together. (Hint: try using Bounce sheets or other dryer sheets, because they prevent static cling on clothes).

In the early 1800s, prototype clothes dryers were first starting to be invented in England and France. One common kind of early clothes dryer was the ventilator, made by a Frenchman named Pochon. It was a barrel-shaped metal drum with holes in it that was turned by hand over a fire. One early American patent for a clothes dryer was granted to George T. Sampson on June 7, 1892. Sampson's dryer used the heat from a stove to dry clothes and was another type of ventilator machine.

What can one do with tumble dryer balls?
Dryer balls are put in the clothes dryer with a load of wet laundry to soften the clothes and reduce static. They are small rubber balls with rubber spikes protruding. As the dryer runs, the dryer ball helps separate the different pieces of clothing so the load dries faster. The action of the ball beating against the clothes also softens them and reduces static. One ball can be used repeatedly for several years.
