Dirty Talk

I slip a scented dryer sheet in the bottom of the garbage can, in stinky shoes, in the sofa cushions, beside the cat litter pan, in front of my osculating floor fan and in my linen closet for a nice fresh scent throughout the whole house.

I use a fresh scented dryer sheet in my vacuum cleaner to diffuse the house with a fresh clean scent while I vacuum.

To keep your dryer from using up too much energy (and to get your clothes to dry faser) clean your lint screen with a scrub brush and a dab of soap or vinegar. Rinse the screen and water should fall through. Even though you're taking off the lint buildup when you do laundry, tiny particles accumulate in the screen and prevent airflow thus increasing the time your clothes spend in the dryer. Do this once a month (if you don't do much laundry) or once every couple of weeks (for families).

brighten a whole room by dry dusting the light bulbs! Also from learning the hard way: NEVER wipe those light bulbs with a dryer sheet! It smells so good at first, then the perfume burns and smokes and turns your bulb black. Live & learn!

If your couch is dusty and company is coming, grab a dryer sheet and give it a good rub down. It picks up the dirt and leaves a lovely fragrance that doesn't smell like you just emptied out a can of air freshener. Also helpful on your coat if you spent the evening around smokers.

To remove candle wax from larger items, use your blow dryer and warm the drippings up and remove with a paper towel.

Have a baked in mess in your casserole dish, pot, or pan? Stick a dryer sheet (Bounce, Snuggle, etc) in the bottom, fill the pot or pan up with water, and let sit overnight. It wipes clean with little to no scrubbing!

take dryer sheets and put in dresser or closets to keep cloths smelling fresh.

I buy a heavy duty shower curtain, so when it gets dirty I throw it in the washing maching with my towels in hot water with a little bleach. Put the load in the dryer but be sure to only leave the shower cutain in for 5 to 8 minutes ( depending how hot you have your setting). The shower curtain comes out pliable and clean as a whistle! Hang it right up again and enjoy the sparkle!!

Use tumble dryer sheets in your airing cupboard to keep all of your towells and bedding fresh - or any thing else you keep in there!

A fabric softener dryer sheet in a dresser drawer will keep clothing stored inside sweet smelling ( and so nice to open up too)

Keep your fluff filter clean: If you use fabric softener/conditioner in your laundry, be sure to clean your filter regularly. Conditioner adheres to the filter over time which restricts air flow. As a result, your dryer will have to work harder and hotter, resulting in longer drying time, higher energy bills, and can possibly damage the heating element or thermostat. Every month or so, pull out the filter and wipe off the fluff. Put a few drops of water on the filter. If the water doesn't trickle straight through, then your filter is clogged. A quick bath in washing up liquid and warm water (don't forget to rinse) will remove any buildup.

Try using dryer sheets from your tumble dryer to clean away dust from blinds. It creates a protective layer as well making future cleaning easier as well.
