What do you use your dryer sheets for?

Question

other than in the dryer and what are some house hold cleaning tips

Answer 1

I put them in my vacuum cleaner to freshen the room as I vacuum.  I also keep one under my seat in the car, hanging in my closet, and stash some in my sleeping bags after camping to keep them smelling fresh.

Answer 2

Keep one on your person when you go outside and the mosquito's wont bother you.

Answer 3

They keep gnats away, they are good for static cling. I also put them in my linen closet to keep towels and sheets smelling fresh.

Answer 4

I'm a Massage Therapist and I put a fresh one in the fold of my sheets when they are stored on shelf after washing and drying. Keeps them fresh smelling so when I put them on the table for my next client.

I also put one over the exhaust vent of my vacuum cleaner. It acts as an additional dust filter...and an air freshener.

Answer 5

I use them on my hair when my hair is frizzy in the winter :O)

Answer 6

Dusting, packing for trips, keeps whiteflies away from plants, fly repellent for horses, deodorizer for dogs, reduce static cling in your hair, scrub showers, deodorizer for gym shoes/bag.

Answer 7

Anything other than their original purpose.

(My mom always used them, but they leave a horrible residue on my dryer vents.)

I've not yet tried it but I remember someone telling me to rub my dog's coat with one during thunderstorms to calm her down, eliminating the static charge.

Answer 8

great for dusting!

Answer 9

I use them when I put things in storage, like winter coats to help them stay smelling fresh, and also I put them in my suitcases when I go anywhere.

Answer 10

My mail carrier told me  that the US  Postal service sent out a

message to all letter  carriers to  put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets  to keep  yellow-jackets  away. Use them all the  time  when playing baseball and soccer. I use it

when I am  working outside. It really works. The yellow jackets just  veer around you.

1.  All this time you've just  been putting Bounce in the dryer!  It  will  chase  ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.

2. Spread sheets around  foundation areas, or in  trailers, or  cars  are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your  vehicle.

3. It takes the odor  out of books and photo albums that don't  get opened  too often.

4. It repels  mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt  loop when outdoors during  mosquito  season.

5. Eliminate static  electricity from your television (or  computer) screen.

6.  Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static  cling,  wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust  from resettling.

7. Dissolve  soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet  of Bounce.

8. To freshen  the air in your home  - Place an individual sheet   of Bounce   in  a drawer or  hang in the  closet.

9. Put Bounce sheet  in  vacuum cleaner.

10.  Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through  a sheet of Bounce before beginning to  sew.

11. Prevent musty  suitcases. Place an individual sheet of  Bounce inside empty  luggage before  storing.

12. To freshen  the  air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce  under the front seat.

13.  Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a  pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The  anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the  pan.

14. Eliminate odors in  wastebaskets. Place a sheet of  Bounce  at the bottom of the wastebasket.

15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce  will magnetically attract all the loose  hairs.

16. Eliminate static  electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe  the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from  resettling.

17. Wipe up  sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet  of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack  cloth.

18. Eliminate odors in  dirty laundry.  Place an individual sheet  of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or  hamper. 19. Deodorize shoes or  sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in  your shoes or sneakers   overnight.

20. Golfers put a  Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep  the bees away.

21. Put a  Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before  folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling  fresh.
