    If you don't like the dryer sheets, check out the "dryer mate" balls. They are plastic balls with knobs on them. I got them at Menards, and have been using one of them for over 6 months.

    I have always sharpened my kitchen scissors by cutting aluminum foil. But learned some new uses from the video. My ironing board gets aluminized tomorrow and will try the foil ball on the next dryer load. Thanks for posting the link. :lol:

    The grilled cheese sandwich idea reminds me of of one of Johnny Depp's early movies, "Benny and Joon". It's a great one to rent and often comes on TV.

    DON'T EVEN GO NEAR ALUMINUM FOIL WITH A ROTARY BLADE! iT WILL MAKE IT DULL INSTANTLY!
    It works for scizzors because they intersect two flat blades,
    The rotary is a double sided pointed blade. JP
