WFMW: Used dryer sheet uses
It’s Works for Me Wednesday again and today what’s working for me is to recycle a previous Works for Me post from my archives. Some may call this lazy- I call it a prudent savings of time and effort (on my brain). Truly- we have a full, full day here and I simply want to enjoy it. ----------------------------Okay- here's my handy-dandy tip.
Used Dryer Sheets: Dryer sheets can really only be used once in the dryer but still have a lot of sniffy life left in them. I save my used dryer sheets for many different uses.
I put a couple of used dryer sheets in our tent before we tear it down and put it away for the season- this keeps it smelling fresh instead of musty.
I put a sheet in our ice chests for the same reason.
I put them in our winter boots before storing them and with the beach towels & bathing suits before storing also.
I've been known to put them in a really stinky pair of shoes. [At least one for each shoe and then place in plastic grocery bag, knot and let sit for a few days.]
I toss one into each duffel bag, suitcase or travel bag.
I often will use the "used" sheet to wipe down the lint trap and door to my dryer- it's great at catching the lint.
I also use it to wipe down the sides of my washer where we may have a few detergent or fabric softener dribbles- cleans nicely.
Put them under the seats in the car- change as needed- really helps absorb the stale odor of McD's French fries from our last drive thru run.
Toss one or two in when packing seasonal clothes.
Use for dusting "stuff" around the house. [Mr. Conductor loves to do this.]
I often keep a couple in a plastic baggie in my purse for taming static electricity on clothing.
I toss one at the bottom of each trash can (and the diaper genie)- great for absorbing odors and also catching leaks. Change as needed.
Mr. Steady's softball bag. Enough said- may take 2.
I'm sure I've used them ingeniously in other ways but the thoughts are escaping me at the moment. If you have another great use for dryer sheets- please share with me in the comments. There are probably more uses than I'd have dryer sheets for (especially since I don't use them all the time!)
Now visit the Dryer blog residence for more Works for Me Wednesday Tips and let's not forget that next week's WFMW is Backwards Day- when we post those burning questions instead of tips.

The Wagner Clan
My Husband (DH)-Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD12- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD9- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added sweet flavor to our family.
DS5- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He's the little man and best helper around! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
