5. Dust off electronics
The softness of the dryer sheet easily wipes away the dust that builds up on electronic devices — computers, laptops, and TV — without damaging the surface.
6. Clean blades of dirty scissors
From overuse, the blades of scissors get dirty quickly, making them less sharp. Try running a dryer sheet over the blades to help remove excess dirt and residue.
7. Dust off ceiling fans
Cleaning ceiling fans can be a hard task, but you actually don’t need a ladder. Place a dryer sheet over a paint roller (one with a long handle), and wipe away the excess dirt on the ceiling fan with ease.
8. Remove lint and pet hair
Dryer sheets cling well onto lint and pet hair that might be left on furniture and clothes. Simply wipe the lint and pet hair off with a clean dryer sheet.
9. Remove bugs from your car
Grab some dryer sheets when wiping off dead bugs from your car, whether that’s on the bumper or the windshield.
10. Clean up dirty markings on your wall
Rub marking on your wall (such as crayon) with a dampen dryer sheet.
11. Clean an iron
Burnt cloth can get stuck beneath an iron and be hard to remove. Luckily, the dryer sheet is here to save the day.
Warm your iron on low and gently rub the plate with a dryer sheet. Continue doing this until all grime and other particles are removed.
