Uses For Dryer Sheets

I don't endorse any particular brand or scent of dryer sheets for these uses.


Eliminate static cling from pantyhose.
Rub a damp, used dryer sheet over the hose.

Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual dryer sheet
inside empty luggage before storing items.

Freshen the air in your car. Place a dryer sheet under the front seat.

Clean baked on food from a cooking pan. Put a dryer sheet in the pan,
 fill with water, let sit overnight, & sponge clean. The antistatic agents
 weaken the bond between the food & the pan while the fabric
softening agents soften the baked-on food.

Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a dryer sheet
at the bottom of the wastebasket.

Remove pet hairs from furniture, etc. Rub the area with a dryer
sheet to magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

Eliminate static electricity from venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds
with a dryer sheet  to prevent dust from resettling. 

Repel mosquitoes. Tie a dryer sheet through a belt loop when
outdoors during mosquito season. You may need more than one sheet.

Eliminate static electricity from your television screen.
Wipe your television screen with a used dryer sheet. 

Wipe shower doors with a used dryer sheet to dissolve soap scum. 

Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual dryer sheet
in different drawers & hang one in the closets.

Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through
a dryer sheet to eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing.

 A used dryer sheet will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sandpapering.

Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual dryer sheet
 at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a dryer sheet in your shoes
or sneakers overnight so they'll smell great in the morning.
