KATHY’S HOME & GARDEN TIPS – THE MANY HOME USES OF DRYER SHEETS

I received a great e-mail recently telling me all the ways you could use a dryer sheet around the house. Although some of them seemed far-fetched like wiping off soap scum with a wet sheet many sound like they would work.

Most of the good ideas involve using the deodorant properties of dryer sheets.

• Place a sheet in the bottom of all the garbage cans in the house keeps things fresh.
• Slide a sheet in your lingerie drawer. Change every week.
• Throw a sheet into the vacuum bag.
• Put them in empty suitcases before storing do the same for camping gear

Many uses also involve the anti-static properties of dryer sheets.

• Wipe off your TV or computer screen with a used sheet it will eliminate static and also keep dust off.
• Use sheets to clean cat hair off fabric.
• Clean venetian blinds at the same time prevent dust from settling back.
• Clean sawdust from projects or sanding.

Let me know if you have another use.
