Laundry fixture having an aluminum outer covering for reducing static electricity within a laundry appliance

A laundry fixture for reducing static electricity includes a substrate. An outer covering includes a woven aluminum fabric that is disposed on the substrate to form a three-dimensional shape. The woven aluminum fabric defining a static-reducing portion. A retaining portion is interspersed within the outer covering to form a particulate-capturing portion. The static-reducing portion and the particulate-capturing portion cooperate to define an entire outer surface of the three-dimensional shape. The three-dimensional shape is configured to be placed within a processing space for a laundry appliance to separate particulate material from articles being processed and retain the particulate material during a laundry cycle.
