Dryer sheets aren’t just for drying. They can serve double duty in your home in a variety of ways. Instead of using a full dryer sheet to dry you clothes, cut them in half. Use the other half in other parts of your home. It might not save you much money, but every little bit counts. So, for your consideration, I present 4 new ways to use a dryer sheet.

Static Remover. If you put on a piece of clothing and notice you’re having some static cling, just take a dryer sheet and rub the clinging part down a bit.
Air freshener. Throw a dryer sheet in your clothes drawer and closet. It will keep your clothes smelling clean and fresh. You can also keep them by a fan or air conditioner to give your room an odder lift.
Dust cloth. Dryer sheets are dust magnets. I find dryer sheets especially useful for my laptop screen. What’s nice about using a dryer sheet is that the sheet will leave behind a residue that will help prevent future dust build-up.
Dish rag. If you have some stubborn food build up on your pots and pans, fill them up with water and toss and dryer sheet in. Let the pans soak overnight. In the morning, the baked on junk should come off.

What other ways do you use dryer sheets around the house?

Awesome! Here’s another one:

5. Instant fresh laundry. Toss dirty laundry in dryer with a couple dryer sheets; spin for 15 minutes. No more wrinkles, and it smells nice too!

OK, I don’t do that…much.

Dryer sheets take bugs off the front of a car better than any other product I have EVER used. I’m going to wash my car right now, and the dryer sheets will make it hassle-free.

Andrew-
There’s no shame in doing that. My wife and I should probably do that more often. Beats doing the laundry all the time.

Kenlie-
Who would have thought dryer sheets could do that?! Thanks for the tip!

put one in a pocket when you are outside and it supposed to keep the mosquitos from biting. Haven’t tried it..so don’t know if it works. Heard Bounce works best.
