More Dryer Sheet Uses!
#16
Mosquito Repellent: I tried this last year, and still got bitten by the black flies & mosquitoes, also put dish soap out in dishes around the site, (per another tip) didn't help me, but that's great if it helped someone else.
Deoderizer: DD's wedding shoes came with a horrible glue stink.... we tried the dryer sheet... baking soda, etc.... the cure was fabreeze.

Wash Dishes: To loosen baked-on food from dishes, simply place a dryer sheet onto the dish, fill with cold water, and let it soak over night. The fabric softener in the dryer sheet will break down the food particles, making the dish much easier to clean in the morning.
Mosquito Repellent: Just stick a dryer sheet in each pocket or tie it to a belt loop. My family grew up camping, and using dryer sheets is a lot more cost effective than any bug spray or citronella candle. Plus, they have a pleasant scent.
Deoderizer: Banish stinky odors by tucking dryer sheets into sneakers, slippers, luggage, camping gear, sports equipment, basements, attics, and garages.
Soap Scum Buster: Clean glass shower doors by scrubbing them with damp dryer sheets.
Duster: Wipe static from your television and computer screen, as well as dust blinds.
Needless to say, I now keep a box of dryer sheets in my laundry, and one under my sink.
