1,001 Uses for Dryer Sheets

OK, I won't really give you 1,001 uses for dryer sheets, but that heading sure got your attention, didn't it? Actually, the antistatic property of these sheets make them useful for a lot of purposes. Many of these even work with previously used sheets, so you can recycle them! Here are some of them:

• If you have flyaway hair, lightly rub a sheet on your hair, and it will lay flat. Or, you can rub the sheet on your brush or comb.
• If your clothes are sticking to you, rub the sheet on the inside of the fabric. No more static cling!
• Dusty television and computer screens are easily cleaned with dryer sheets.
• Got an iron with gunk on the bottom? Set the iron on low, and rub with a sheet.
• If you have pots and pans with burnt-on food, add a little water and a dryer sheet. They will be much easier to clean after they soak overnight.
• If you're trying to sew, and the thread keeps getting tangled, wrap a sheet around the thread and slide over the length.
• Dryer sheets will remove soap scum from glass shower doors.
• You can remove pet hair from clothes and furniture with a dryer sheet.
• Dryer sheets are great for picking up messes like sawdust and talcum powder.
• Rubbing dryer sheets on surfaces like window blinds help reduce dust buildup.
• Latex paint will come off paint brushes more readily if the brushes are first soaked in water with a dryer sheet.

That's eleven other antistatic uses! Not bad for a simple dryer sheet!
