Dryer sheets only have one use, right? You toss them in with your laundry, and they impart a wonderful, fresh smell to all the clothes as they dry, and the clothes lack that nasty static cling when they come out. Right? Well, not quite - for the person who thinks outside the box, dryer sheets can be used in several other ways around the house to make life easier. Here are just a few of those other uses, but you can probably come up with several of your own as well, if you give it some thought.
Shoe Deodorizer
You can stick a sheet into sneakers or other shoes which typically absorb foot sweat, to give them a more tolerable fragrance
Filter
Hanging one or more sheets inside your air conditioner can trap the pollutants inside your home
Screen Cleaner
Dry cleaner sheets make good cleaners for your flat screen TV, or your computer monitors
Lint Collector
When you need to extract lint from hats, pants, sweaters, tops, or other articles of clothing, a single sheet will do wonders
Sink Cleaner
Dryer sheets make good cleaners for sinks, counter tops, and other kitchen surfaces, since they trap particles in their fibers
Pet Hair Removal
Wherever in the house you have pet hair, use a sheet or two to remove it- for instance, on rugs, sofas, chairs, etc.
Insect Repellent
The insect-repelling properties of dryer sheets make them ideal for placing anywhere around the house where bugs might be a problem
