How to Use Dryer Sheets Around the Home

Dryer sheets--they're not just for the dryer any more! Who knew such a small item could have so many uses...

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• a box o' dryer sheets

1. 
    

   Put a sheet into smelly shoes and let them de-smell over night. Same with a suitcase or gym bag.

2. 
    

   Wipe off TV screens and computer monitors with them--static and dust be gone!

3. 
    

   Put one in the bottom of your dresser drawer for fresh-smelling clothes.

4. 
    

   Place a sheet in a dirty pan, fill with lukewarm water and let it soak overnight. The pan will clean much more easily.

5. 
    

   Stick one in the pages of some books you're storing in a box in the garage--it helps keep away the musty smell.

6. 
    

   Use it to wipe up sawdust after doing some woodworking.

7. 
    

   Swipe the blinds with a dryer sheet--the fast way is to close the blinds first and then wipe downwards with the sheet.

8. 
    

   And I heard this tip from my usual world of hiking: place one on top of your head and under your baseball cap to keep mosquitoes at bay (when you don't want or can't put DEET on your hair!).
