Answer 3

You can also reuse them for the same purpose by spritzing liquid fabric softener on them and tossing in the dryer.

Answer 4

Why would you buy them to begin with. You can use vinegar in your rinse cycle as a fabric softener. If your machine doesn't have a fabric softener release area, then you can use a Downy ball and put it in at the beginning of the wash cycle.

Fabric sheets used in dryers coat items which traps bateria and can promote odors especially on towels.  

So give your sheets to someone you don't like and switch to vingar, I line dry my clothes and it keeps them from getting stiff as well.
