Dryer sheets aren’t just for drying clothes. The next time you are doing laundry at home, think twice about just using dryer sheets in the dryer alone. There’s a myriad of other clever alternative uses, making dryer sheets a must-have household staple for maintaining and cleaning a home.
From polishing chrome to acting as an air freshener to stopping frizzy hair, the uses of dryer sheets are endless. By the end, you’ll be reaching for your dryer sheets too!
1. Keep suitcases fresh
Not only can you use this tip in your drawers, but this trick is handy for keeping the contents of suitcases and backpacks fresh as well.
Bonus: Stick a dryer sheet in your pet litterbox for a better scent! Even your pets will be happy.
2. Get rid of deodorant marks
We all know that feeling: you try to swipe on some deodorant and end up getting it all over your shirt in the process.
By balling up a dryer sheet — a used one works better — and rubbing the affected area, the stain will disappear in no time.
3. Polish chrome
Instead of using harsh chemicals to clean your bathroom faucets and shower doors, a dryer sheet can do the trick.
Used dryer sheets work wonders for removing watermarks on faucets, and a wet dryer sheet can clean soap scum on shower doors.
4. Air freshener (on fan)
Tape or pin the dryer sheet (scented) to a fan/air unit and have the breeze distribute the aroma around your desired room.
