A fabric dryer sheet has many uses besides adding fragrance and removing static cling from your clothes in the dryer. They are multitasking little fibers new and recycled! Here are numerous penny saving ideas to stretch your dryer sheets.
Use the fragrance sheets to freshen the air in your home by placing over the heating/air conditions vents.
Tape one to the top of your ceiling fan to spread the aroma.
Place an individual sheet in a drawer, or hang one in the closet.
Place a couple of sheets in the bottom of the dirty laundry basket.
Tuck one under the seat of your car and in the glove box.
Leave several in the RV or camper while it's in storage.
Stick a sheet in with your vacuum bag.
Leave a sheet in your luggage before storing.
Place a sheet among seldom read books or photo albums.
Stick a sheet in all of your shoes!
Roll up a dryer sheet in your toilet paper roll. Each time you spin, it releases a little freshness into your bathroom.
Slightly wet a sheet and use it to scrub the scum, soap build up and minerals out of your shower.
Fabric softener sheets are designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television and computer screen with a used sheet to keep dust from resettling.
If you are a fiber artist, run your sewing needle through a sheet prior to sewing, to prevent the thread from tangling.
Use a used sheet in your fiber art.
Take a used dryer sheet, spray insect repellent into it. Then dab on the back of your neck, legs and arms.
New dryer sheet are great for repelling mosquitoes on your patio, just hang a sheet near by and mosquitoes will leave you alone. Take some along on a picnic so the ants will not invade your party.
Place a sheet in the bottom of your trash cans before you add a trash bag. The dryer sheets will absorb any liquids that get through as well as adding a pleasant fragrance.
Here’s an idea I have read about, but haven’t tried: Use fabric softener sheets to clean baked on foods from cooking pots and pans. Place a dryer sheet in a pan; fill with water, and let sit overnight. The next day the stuck on food can be wiped away! The antistatic agent apparently weakens the bond between the stuck on food and the pans surface.
When you think your dryer sheet is finally used up, use it in flower pots to cover the hole in the bottom to keep dirt from coming out!
