Everyone knows that if you want to keep your laundry smelling fresh, soft and free of static, then add a few dryer sheets to your loads. These wonderfully smelling sheets are commonly used for laundry, but their unique attributes make them perfect for other cleaning purposes as well. Don’t just keep a box of them in the laundry room because they can be used throughout the house.
Dusting Electronics
Electronics are fragile and using the wrong cleaner or cleaning instrument could lead to devastating consequences. A dryer sheet’s ability to handle static electricity makes it ideal of dusting electronics. Since electronics like televisions and game system rarely move, they’re magnets for dust and a few swipes of a dryer sheet will clean it up with no worries about harming the machines.
It’s not just electronics is perfect for either. It’ll handle ceiling fans, windowsills, miniblinds and more. In fact, any hard to reach place is perfect for a good dryer sheet dusting.
Dry Spills
While they’re not the greatest for cleaning up spilled drinks, dryer sheets are perfect for dry spills. Anyone that bakes knows that flour gets everywhere and there’s bound to be a mess. These dry powder spills are hard to clean up and you may make the problem worse using a paper towel by spreading it instead of picking it up. If you use a wet wash cloth, you end up with bread dough. Dryer sheets can pick powders up without a problem. It’ll stick to the sheets like glue.
A Bevy of Bathroom Uses
The bathroom is not everyone’s favorite place to clean, but it can be a bit easier using dryer sheets. There’s the standard dusting or cabinets, toilet tanks, etc., but it’s also great buffing the bathroom mirrors and polishing your chrome fixtures. They’ll shine like never before. If your hubby leaves his beard trimming on the sink or your wife leaves make-up smudges, clean them with dryer sheets.
