#6 Freshen Up Your Vacuum Cleaner & Carpets

This tip I actually love! It's amazing, and especially useful if you have pets. You know the smell never comes out of the carpet and your vacuum cleaner always has that pungent smell of dirt. Well, rip a fresh dryer sheet in half and place it inside your bag or canister before you begin vacuuming. The scent keeps the vacuum smelling fresh and it actually gives the carpet a boost of freshness. For really bad odors, use the whole sheet instead of just half. My cleaner always stinks so a whole sheet is doing a great job keeping my machine and carpet smelling fresher.

For your faucets and metal plumbing, a used dryers sheet keeps the water stains away and keeps them looking polished. The same for any other metal appliances, they work great on keeping fingerprints and smudges away.

Because new dryer sheets are so fragrant, they're great for keep your clothes and other household items fresh smelling. Place one in a drawer of clothing, put on in a garbage can under the bag, put one in each shoe that you've packed away for the season, hide a few under sofa cushions, use them to freshen up stinky gym bags or purses, keep a few in the closets or under your car seats in place of auto air fresheners. They are better than buying room deodorizers or fabric refreshers like Febreeze, and a lot less expensive.

It turns out that used dryer sheets are amazing for dusting and cleaning around the house and amazing when it comes to dusting your baseboards or windowsills. Next time you spill flour, or powder, grab a dryer sheet instead of a towel. The sheet grabs onto the powder and cleans it up as fast as lightning!

#10 Clean Window Blinds and Electronics

This works best with used dryer sheets. I like to close the blinds (so they're facing down and flat) and wipe the surface to remove dust. Then close them so they're up and ridged and wipe again. Then open the completely and push the sheet through each slat and your blinds will never look as clean! The static also helps reduce buildup of further dust, so it will be less more time before they need a good cleaning again. If that's not enough, try wiping down your electronics, like the computer screen, your TV set, iPads, and phones. The dust and particles come right up with just a used dryer sheet!

If you're like me, your pans never get clean because everything sticks to them. Well, just fill the pan with hot water and add a dryer sheet. Let it soak for a couple hours or overnight. When you go to clean it up, pour off the dirty water and use that same dryer sheet to easily scrub off the backed on grime. It really is that simple!
