KATHY’S HOME & GARDEN TIPS – THE MANY HOME USES OF DRYER SHEETS
I received a great e-mail recently telling me all the ways you could use a dryer sheet around the house. Although some of them seemed far-fetched, like wiping off soap scum with a wet sheet, many sound like they would work.
Most of the good ideas involve using the deodorant properties of dryer sheets.
- Place a sheet in the bottom of all the garbage cans in the house, keeps things fresh.
- Slide a sheet in your lingerie drawer. Change every week.
- Throw a sheet into the vacuum bag.
- Put them in empty suitcases before storing, do the same for camping gear
Many uses also involve the anti-static properties of dryer sheets.
- Wipe off your TV or computer screen with a used sheet, it will eliminate static and also keep dust off.
- Use sheets to clean cat hair off fabric.
- Clean venetian blinds, at the same time prevent dust from settling back.
- Clean sawdust from projects or sanding.
Let me know if you have another use.
