Uses for Dryer Sheets

• Freshen smelly shoes by placing one in each shoe for a few hours.

• Game over—toss one in your gym bag.

• Place one in the bottom of every wastebasket—it will work wonders.

• Dryer sheets contain positively charged ingredients. These ingredients bond loosely to any negatively charged surface and neutralize it, and eliminate static. Rub them over your clothing, hair, TV set, and computer screen and reap the rewards of static free living.

• Use them to wipe up pet hair from the floor and furniture.

• Dust lampshades, blinds and coffee tables.
