Nice creative ideas. Also Used dryer sheets make good dust magnets! Use them on TV screens, computer monitors and other electronic equipment. Thanks for sharing,

Excellent post! I’m sharing this with my readers. Who da thunk there were som many uses, although I agree about not wanting to use the chemicals on our furry friends.

We use dryer sheets tied to new trees and shrubs, to keep deer from nibbling the ends of branches and new growth. Just one tied anywhere in the branches seems to work.

caution when using dryer sheets in the dryer: the film from the sheet builds up on the lint screen and when the screen gets clogged up it is known to catch fire. clean your screens once a month in with dishsoap and lightly brush it off. also when there is a storm pets aren’t afraid of the thunder noise it’s the static electricty that irritates their fur so a dryer sheet or use static guard works well.

Some good ideas to try, especially cleaning paint brushes and getting dog hair off trousers. For years I’ve been using an old washcloth that I wet with water and then add liquid softener before throwing it into the dryer. One VERY important issue is to wash your lint filter!! There is a coating, from the softener, that forms on it creating a potential fire hazard in addition to increasing the drying time.

not really a use for dryer sheets, but another cost saving thing related to them: don’t buy dryer sheets. Take any cotton fabric, cut an 8 by 8 square and zigzag or pinky shears around the edge (you could probably also use cheap handkerchiefs).

Mix 50/50 mix of water and fabric softener in a spray bottle. Squirt your square 6 to 8 times and toss in dryer. Reuse. They should be washed without softener every so often to remove buildup.

If you think about it, buying dryer sheets is just fabric softener on a cheap piece of material. Wish I could take credit for this idea, but I got it out of a craft book. My mom loved it for mother’s day…makes a great gift.

Some good ideas. But please keep in mind that there are a lot of people who have strong reactions to scented products. My neighbors overdo it with dryer sheets. When they run their dryer, we have to come inside and shut our windows.

Given how sensitive dogs’ noses are, I would never use a dryer sheet on them.
