Beyond the Laundry Room
Dryer sheets are best known for softening fabrics and reducing static cling, but their usefulness doesn’t end in the laundry room. These scented, anti-static sheets can freshen, clean, and even repel pests. Below are 10 creative hacks that show just how versatile dryer sheets really are.
🔬 Understanding the Composition
Dryer sheets are made from non-woven polyester and coated with fabric softeners and fragrance. The softeners often include fatty acids or lubricants, which are the key to their cleaning and static-fighting properties—making them useful in many situations beyond the dryer.
