Creative Household Uses for Fabric Softener Sheets

September 19, 2008

I was fascinated with an advertisement about fabric softener sheets. It cited other uses around the home besides just softening your clothes in the dryer. Here are a few.

1) Rub scum off your shower door.

2)Polish chrome fixtures in your bathroom.

3) Dust the leaves of you houseplants.

4) Dust your TV or computer screen and the static electricity will repel dust.

5) Pick up pet hair by rubbing a sheet over areas that collect pet hairs.

6) Wipe window blinds and the residue from the sheet will prevent dust from resettling.

7) Give your dresser draws and closets a clean scent by placing fabric sheets with the clothing.

8) Place a sheet in the bottom of your wastebaskets and clothes baskets to eliminate odors.

8) Hang a sheet on your patio during mosquito season to repel mosquitoes. (If they repel mosquitoes, will they repel moths if put among woolen clothing?)

There are probably many more uses. If you have tried some, let me know your recommendations.
