5 Alternative uses for dryer sheets

Most of us purchase dryer sheets to toss in the dryer to make our laundry smell fresh, feel soft and reduce static. I shared that you can cut them in half and get the same results, as well as you can tuck them away with your linens to keep them smelling fresh. But did you know you can use those dryer sheets can come in handy in other rooms in the house?
5 Alternative uses for dryer sheets
Fabric softener sheets are designed to help eliminate static cling. When dusting the house, wipe your television, computer screens, and window blinds with a used sheet to keep dust from resettling.
When storing luggage away, toss a fresh dryer sheet in your suitcase before you zip it up. Next time you travel, your suitcase will smell fresh, rather than musty.
Does Rover leave hair all over the couch? Wipe the surface where he lays with a dryer sheet and it will attract most of the hair– and freshen it up a bit too!
Place a dryer sheet inside smelly shoes and leave them overnight. The smell will be gone in the morning.
If your pots and pans have burned food stuck on them, place a dryer sheet in the bottom before you fill them with water and leave overnight. The burned food will come off easily in the morning.

We use them to keep mosquitos away! Just rub one all over you and then tuck it in your belt and it works! It’s especially nice when you’re camping because it smells better than bug spray and it’s so oily.
Thanks!

I toss one under the front seat of the car. It really helps freshen the air in there, without something hanging from my rear-view mirror!

I keep one in my pocket in the winter time. My hair is long and fine and gets so much static electricity that it becomes unbearable. I rub the dryer sheet on my hair and static is gone. It works for static-y clothes too.
