Dryer Sheets! More than you thought!

Good Afrternoon today is Thursday May 10, 2012 it's time once again to share some wonderful tried and true tips for cleaning and refreshing our homes. How many of you use dryer sheets? I'm sure many of you do, but how many of you use them for all the needs of your household. Yes the dryer sheet has many uses and I am going to share a few with you today.

  1. Cut out dust:Wipe down mini-blinds with a damp fabric softener sheet. This eliminates the static that causes dust to stick. The same trick works for TV and monitor screens
  2. Keep bugs away: Tuck some in your picnic basket or under lawn furniture to repel bees from your juicy flesh and encourage them back to the flowers, where they belong. You can also rub a sheet directly on your bare skin to discourage would- be buggers from leaving their mark.
  3.  Scrub your showers: Lightly wet a used dryer sheet, and scrub to remove soap build-up and mineral deposits.
  4.  In the Kitchen: Soak cookware with burnt or baked-on food in warm water, with a dryer sheet or two. Makes clean-up easier than you’d expect. Also works on cook tops and dingy cabinet doors.
  5. Repel rodents: Use dryer sheets to keep out mice, skunks, squirrels, rats, etc from your basement, garages, boats, campers, and clubhouses.
  6. In your vacuum cleaner: Place a dryer sheet in your vacuum bag or dust containment unit. As the hot air moves as you vacuum, the smell of the dryer sheets will fil the room and you’ll bulk up your cleaning efforts. (Make sure this is in NO WAY a fire hazard)
    Come on ladies share with me; What do you use dryer sheets for?

  1. I put them in the bottom of the trash can to help with smells and also use used ones to polish my faucets.
