Love it when you can use common household items for more than one use! These days a lot of things are very expensive, and if you can find more than one way to use something it makes it a little more valuable!
Drying sheets aren't meant for washing anymore, you can use them to clean, remove static, freshen air, shoes, drawers, books, shine showers, windows, chrome and more !
1. Fresh shoes
Many people ask, "Do drying sheets absorb odors?" The answer is yes, they do! They can absorb moisture, too.
The reason this is so useful is that you can get rid of unpleasant shoe odors (and other odors) by placing a drying sheet in the soles of your shoes and leaving them overnight. This is super easy and I love doing it for my athletic kids! Their athletic shoes can have a bad smell and that helps a lot.
2. Deep cleaning of toilets
The softener in the dryer sheets helps soften stubborn bath rings. Plus the paper helps gently scratch the rest of the ring.
3. Stem bugs
Place drier sheets in corners of rooms, on rafters, or anywhere you tend to see spider webs. &, you can put some in your picnic basket or under garden furniture to drive bees out of your juicy flesh and encourage them back to the flowers, where they belong. You can even rub a sheet directly on your bare skin to discourage potential insects (such as mosquitoes) from leaving their mark with the insect repellent properties of the sheets.
