Drying Sheets Can Peel, Polish, and Give a Fresh Scent to Almost Anything
A modest dryer sheet may seem like a versatile laundry companion, but it can actually improve your life in a multitude of ways.
Instead of throwing away your used drying wipes, use them as a sturdy washcloth that won’t leave any lint or lint behind. Used drying wipes can clean computer screens, polish glass, remove deodorant marks from clothing, and clean lather.
Or, if you have extra fresh sheets to dry (and not enough wash to wash), you can use their anti-static power to tame loose hair, freshen up smelly shoes and duffel bags, or hide them in the machine to freshen up a scent.
