### How Does It Work?
When you toss a couple of ice cubes into the dryer along with your clothes, the heat inside the dryer causes the ice to melt into steam. This steam helps:
* **Reduce wrinkles:** The moisture from the melting ice softens fabrics, loosening wrinkles and reducing the need for ironing.
* **Refresh clothes:** The steam revitalizes fabrics, helping to eliminate odors and static cling.
* **Speed up drying:** The moisture can help prevent over-drying, keeping clothes softer and reducing drying time in some cases.

* **To reduce static:** The steam helps combat static electricity, so your clothes come out softer and less clingy.
* **With delicate fabrics:** This gentle method avoids the harsh heat that can damage delicate clothes.
