When you use one in your dryer, the heat from the appliance causes these chemicals to transfer to your clothes, resulting in soft, low static, and pleasantly fragrant laundry.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds pretty good! But you should keep that chemical transfer in mind \u2013 it means there are some things you definitely shouldn\u2019t use dryer sheets on, and some you\u2019ll want to be careful about.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Don\u2019t use a dryer sheet on your pets. You may have seen guides suggesting dryer sheets as a way to calm animals upset during thunderstorms, but you don\u2019t want to risk your pets getting sick later because they\u2019ve consumed the surfactant from the dryer sheets while cleaning.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dryer sheets can lower the absorbency abilities of towels. Don\u2019t use them in laundry loads with towels, and don\u2019t use them on surfaces that you otherwise clean with things like microfiber cloth.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Similarly, dryer sheets can degrade the water-wicking abilities of certain activewear, so keep them away from anything with a stearic acid coating.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The coating on dryer sheets can reduce the efficacy of fire resistant coating on clothes like children\u2019s pajamas, so never dry fire resistant clothing with dryer sheets.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If you use a dryer sheet to clean a surface that you cook on or eat off of, be sure it\u2019s well rinsed before using it.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">All that said, fabric softener sheets won\u2019t do serious damage to your dryer, but they can reduce its efficacy. Just make sure you have a regular cleaning schedule for your dryer drum to ensure it\u2019s operating optimally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>5 alternate uses for all those extra dryer sheets<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at some uses for that 800 count box of dryer sheets you\u2019ve got in your laundry room!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Put them to use as all-purpose deodorizers<\/h3>\n<p>Dryer sheets make for great, subtle air fresheners \u2013 they\u2019re easy to hide and let you mask odors without the overwhelming floral or soapy scents. Stash a sheet or two anywhere that needs a bit of freshening up.<\/p>\n<p>Want some specific ideas? Consider these spots:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Slipping a couple of dryer sheets beneath the seats in your car is more effective than a rear window air freshener, and they won\u2019t disrupt your view, either.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Tuck dryer sheets into luggage, backpacks, diaper bags, or gym bags to cut back on unpleasant odors.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dryer sheets in the coat or linen closet will keep your less used and seasonal items smelling nice.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Likewise, you can add dryer sheets to your dresser drawers to achieve a similar pleasant scent for all your clothes.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Putting something away for long term storage? Put a dryer sheet in the bottom of the container to combat musty smells.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Got some shoes that are really stinky? Sticking some dryer sheets in your kicks when you aren\u2019t wearing them can help them smell a little better.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A dryer sheet tucked into toilet paper rolls or folded up on a shelf can help with bathroom odors.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Pop a used or fresh dryer sheet in the bottom of your trash can to absorb odors and moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Get rid of deodorant marks on clothes<\/h3>\n<p>The dreaded white splotch has delayed many a date night and ruined countless carefully planned outfits. If you find your last shirt before laundry day marred by deodorant stains, don\u2019t panic \u2013 grab a dryer sheet! A dryer sheet can lift deodorant off of a shirt with a bit of friction, so carefully dab or rub the spot until the stain is gone. Just be sure you\u2019re using it on a fabric that won\u2019t be damaged by the chemical fabric softeners in the sheet!<\/p>\n<h3>3. Keep bugs at bay<\/h3>\n<p>Conventional wisdom holds that dryer sheets repel pests like mosquitos, gnats, and wasps. Is it true? Well, while there\u2019s no scientific proof that it effectively repels mosquitos, there is some science to back up its usefulness as a repellent for other bugs \u2013 in 2011, researchers at Kansas State University found that fungus gnats held in a test chamber tended to avoid compartments where a Bounce dryer sheet had been placed. If you\u2019ve got some extra dryer sheets, it\u2019s certainly worth a try!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some specific ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Set a dryer sheet near house plants to protect them from pests, particularly those that need moist soil. Don\u2019t put the sheet in the pot. You don\u2019t want the chemicals transferring to the soil. The smell alone should be enough to repel gnats and other unwanted insects.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Got picnic plans? You can tape dryer sheets to the undersides of tables and chairs to keep bugs at bay. If harmful insects like mosquitoes pose a problem, though, we do recommend relying on an actual EPA-approved bug spray.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A dryer sheet in your mailbox can potentially do more than make your letters smell fresh \u2013 it could keep wasps or hornets from building nests inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. It\u2019s a cleaning multi-tool<\/h3>\n<p>Both fresh and used dryer sheets are useful cleaning tools. We\u2019ve got a ton of suggestions for how to use them!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Used dryer sheets are great for picking up spills of flour, salt, dry detergent, and other dry spills with powdery consistencies.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Get bug gunk and road dirt off of your car\u2019s grill or windshield with a damp dryer sheet. If you make this a regular part of your detailing process, you\u2019ll want to reapply wax to the area where you used the dryer sheet.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The next time you\u2019re cleaning your bathroom, try getting rid of soap scum with a wet used dryer sheet.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A fresh dryer sheet makes a great DIY lint roller! Rub the sheet on your clothes to lift pet hair and lint off. You can use this trick on furniture, too, just be mindful that you don\u2019t use it in Fido\u2019s favorite spot \u2013 the chemicals can potentially irritate your pet\u2019s skin.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Gently wipe your TV or computer screen clean with a completely dry dryer sheet to leave it completely clear. Dryer sheets are soft enough that they shouldn\u2019t scratch your screens \u2013 just be sure you don\u2019t scrub too hard.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Soaking things in hot water with a dryer sheet can help lift tough grime. This is effective for things like baking sheets with burnt-on food, scorched pots and pans, and things like candle holders coated in wax. Just be sure to thoroughly wash and rinse any cooking utensils after the soak with ordinary dish soap to get rid of any lingering chemicals from the dryer sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Getting crafty<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re into embroidery or like to keep an art journal, you can find a use for both fresh and used dryer sheets. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A dryer sheet makes a great needle saver, just thread your needle through it when you aren\u2019t using it.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">While not a permanent fix for old shears, you can sharpen scissors that are getting dull by cutting into a dryer sheet. If you use this trick on kitchen shears, make sure you wash them thoroughly before using them.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dryer sheets can be craft ingredients, themselves! Painted or dyed, they can be folded into flowers with ease.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use dryer sheets as backing for appliques. It\u2019ll hide the raw edges of the fabric, protecting your applique from fraying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Got some ideas for what to do with all those dryer sheets now?
