25 Ways To Use Dryer Sheets Outside Of The Laundry Room:
Dryer sheets keep our clean clothes smelling great once we pull them out of the dryer. But did you know they have a ton of other uses? They can be used for anything from cleaning your house to keeping your shoes smelling fresh! The best part is once they have done their work in the dryer they can be used in a bunch of different ways. Check out these 25 ways to use dryer sheets other than in your laundry room:
- Pet Fur: Pick up pet fur around your house, on your clothes and in your pets area
- Dusting Cloth: Dryer sheets are great for dusting around the house and leave a clean scent as you go
- Shoe Deodorizer: Slip one in each shoe and leave overnight. It will soak up the smells from the inside lining and keep your shoes fresh

June 6, 2013 at 11:19 amAMAZING! I was about to throw my daughter new sippy cup in the recycle bin because I couldn’t get the sticky stuff off the bottom with anything!!!! I grabbed a dryer sheets that had already been through the dryer and gave it a try, it worked like a charm. I will not only keep the sippy cup now but I am going to start saving my used dryer sheets. THANK YOU!

All good to know. Now im a little upset I kept throwing them away! And a bright side of this… we all save in paper towels!

October 20, 2013 at 6:13 pmI use them to stop static on my clothes. Like to keep a skirt from sticking to a slip. Just rub the sheet over your slip or tights! I keep a few in my desk drawer at work.
