Stop throwing away those used dryer sheets before getting a second use out of them. I use an empty facial tissue box to save the used sheets when finishing the laundry. It keeps them from endung up all over and makes them easily accessible. Here are a few things I have re-used them for in the past with great success.
Polishing chrome on your motorcycle, car, faucets etc.
Cleaning off that pesky bit of deoderant that gets on your shirt when you dress.
Great for eliminating static cling and keeping your clothes fresh while travelling. Just toss a couple in your suitcase. Also keeps luggage from getting that musty smell if you toss a sheet in before storing.
Keep sleeping bags/camper linens smelling fresh and keep out pesky bugs. The bugs don't like the scent and the dryer sheets are more convenient than moth balls or cedar sachets.
Remove pet hair from fabric and freshen with a quick swipe.
Pop a sheet into your vacuum bag or canister for a fresh scent while you clean.
Remove stubborn bugs from a windshield during a road trip by lightly wetting a sheet and rubbing the windshield. The bugs will come right off and you car will smell fresh when the sheets are stowed away.
Remove soap scum from glass shower doors without scrubbing forever.
Freshen a gym bag or locker.
Remove the musty/cigarette smoke smell from wood or paper items purchased at estate sales. Simply place the item with a few sheets in a plastic ziplock bag for a few days and when you pull it out the bad smell will be gone. I also save the zipper bag to use over and over.
Hope this helps you feel like you're getting a little more use from a discarded item :)
what's a vacuum?
