Fabric Softener Sheets are NOT just for the dryer anymore!
Here are some interesting and maybe a bit
unusual ideas for using them.
Repel Mosquitoes. Tie a dryer sheet to
your belt loop or on your gardening hat when you
are outside during mosquito season.
Cleaning hairbrushes. Add 2 dryer
sheets to a jar of water. Let your hairbrushes
and combs soak for a few hours. Hair-spray
and other build up will come off. Just rinse and
let air dry.
Put a dryer sheet in the trunk of your
car to keep away musty odors.
Dissolve soap scum from shower doors by cleaning with a dryer sheet.
Prevent sewing thread from tangling by running the needle through a sheet before sewing.
A sheet left inside luggage or travel bags can prevent musty odors.
Place a single sheet inside the empty luggage before storing.
Placing a sheet at the bottom of the wastebasket to help prevent odors. Get the same
results by putting a sheet in the bottom of a laundry basket.
Remove static from TV screens and
computer monitors by wiping the surface with a
sheet.
If you are having trouble getting baked on food out of a casserole dish, fill it with
hot water and add a fabric softener sheet. Let it soak for a couple of hours and then rinse.
Most of the caked on food will slide right out, and the rest will come out with a swipe of the sponge.
Eliminating static electricity from blinds and window coverings to help prevent dust from resettling.
Placing a sheet in your shoes or sneakers overnight will help to deodorize and freshen them.
Keep a dresser drawer smelling fresh and clean by placing a dryer sheet on the bottom of it.
Freshen the air in your car. Place a dryer sheet under the front seat or in the back window
where the sun will warm it.
Place a sheet in your coat pocket to avoid the shock you get getting in and out of the car in the winter.
Used dryer sheets make great dust cloths. They easily wipe away dust and leave a wonderful fragrance behind.
Keep sleeping bags and tents fresh and fragrant. Put a dryer sheet inside before folding and storing them.
