Dryer Sheets Uses #1: Use Old Sheets As Dust Cloths

by Taylor @Stain-Removal-101.com

What are your dryer sheets uses? I thought about this recently when I got this great little comment from Stephanie on the site's Facebook wall.

Stephanie said:

I'm a sheet person, not tried the bar. I like the sheet, once used I throw in a container to use later and use like a duster in the bathrooms and baseboards. They remove any dust or hair caught on top of sinks or the toilet. :D

I love to find more uses for common items in our home, and that includes finding other uses for dryer sheets.

I hadn't thought about dusting with them after use in the dryer, but it seems perfectly obvious once she said it.

I already like to cut my fabric softener sheets in half, so that I can get more bang for my buck. They seem to work as well with just half a sheet, and of course I then save money by not having to buy them as often. Now, I can get even more use out of them before I throw them away by using them as little quick dusters too!

By the way, the picture above is showing a guy who made a shirt out of old Bounce dryer sheets. That is definitely not a conventional use for these items, but I did think it was quite imaginative, which is why I put up the picture.

In addition, I received this idea for using this common laundry supply as a way to prevent mice from coming in your home.

I would love to hear even more dryer sheets uses ideas and tips from you, for all around your home. You can share your helpful household hints here, telling me unusual uses for everyday items, or read other ideas already submitted.
