No good for pet beds or stuffed toys as is can be dusty even inclosed in fabric. But there are several uses as you have read so far. I am not sure why ne member called it nasty since it is clean. Maybe you could Google it?

no ideas, just keep those vents clean, please, to prevent fires. They are more common than you think.

I didn't mean that it was nasty as in icky. Around here we use the term nasty as something we'd rather not deal with due to allergies and the dog hair that's in it.

Absolutely!! I religiously clean my lint trap every time I use the dryer, and still have had two dryer fires. Two different houses, two different dryers. Now we never leave the house with the dryer still running!

Use Elmer's and glue a bunch to a piece of paper or even cardboard and in the spring put out for the birds to use in their "new homes."
