Wash Wednesday: The Amazing Things You Can Do With a Dryer Sheet

Dryer sheets are a little household miracle. Not only do they make clothes softer and smell great, they have other household uses.

Have stuck on food at the bottom of a pan? Take a used dryer sheet and let it soak in a pan overnight. The stuck on food will lift with ease the next morning!

Worried about your dryer vent not collecting enough of the fuzzies? Lift up the removable lint remover, place a used dryer sheet down and replace the lint trap. You'll be surprised at how much more lint your dryer sheet catches...AND how much better your clothes smell. After all, the used dryer sheets STILL have some scent to them. Why waste?


Dusty house? Take a used dryer sheet to dust your furniture! It will make your house smell open window fresh and get rid of the dust on your tables.

Put a dryer sheet in the bottom of your garbage can. While I can't promise that dirty diapers will smell lavender good, it might help to keep the smell from overpowering your garbage.

Speaking of stinky places, try putting a rolled up dryer sheet in your toilet paper roll. Every time you pull the paper, it will release a little freshness in your bathroom!
