For a long time, I’ve found all sorts of uses for dryer sheets. I love the smell, but I also need to make money go as far as I can.
That’s why I do a lot more with (new and used) dryer sheets than simply toss them in my laundry.
- Shine up chrome. Dampen a used dryer sheet and shine up the bathroom faucet or toaster.
- Keep your scissors sharp by wiping the blades with a used sheet between uses.
- Buh-bye pet hair! Rub a dryer sheet over your sofa, bed, etc and it’ll gather up all that hair from your fur baby.
- Clean oven racks. Soak them overnight in some Dawn dishwashing liquid with some dryer sheets thrown in. The dirt and grime will wipe off easy the next day.
- Put them in your drawers and they’ll make your clothes smell fresh and clean for a long time.
- Ward off gnats and mosquitoes. Put a fresh sheet in your pocket and leave a little sticking out. Those flying little monsters don’t like the smell. Same with Mice!
- A used dryer sheet is the best dusting cloth ever. Shelves, floors, lamps, you name it.

- That burned on goo that was stuck before will come right off.
- One of the great uses for dryer sheets is the smelly shoes solution. Cut a fresh sheet in half and put one half in each shoe.
- Clean paint brushes. Soak the in warm water with a dryer sheet for a couple hours.
- Banish soap scum on shower doors. One of the uses for dryer sheets most people don’t know is how to use them to clean shower doors. Just wet a fresh sheet and scrub. They’re amazing.
