These dryer sheet hacks will make your home cleaner than ever (and smell amazing too).
Who thought these amazing smelling dryer sheets could be used anywhere other than well…….the dryer!? I put 10 dryer sheet hacks to the test and I was very impressed!
1. Easy Fire Starter
Re-use that old lint and wrap it in a dryer sheet. Toss it in your pit and enjoy a relaxing fire. Your friends will ask why your fire smells so wonderful (it won’t be over-powering either).

2. Wall and Cupboard Dust Repellant
Simply, attach a dryer sheet to a Swiffer Dry Mop. Not only will you remove dust, BUT you will also repel future debris. I use this method on all the baseboards in my home.

This works great on cabinets and dressers too!
3. Freshen Up Garbage Cans
Drop a dryer sheet at the bottom of your garbage can and it will smell fresh every time you open it. You can also put a dryer sheet at the bottom of a diaper pail (I have 4 kids, so we go through lots of diapers).

I even use a dryer sheet to pick up the grease along my microwave. It’s mildly abrasive (without damaging) and works like a charm.
4. Make Your Toilet Paper Smell Amazing
Just tuck a little dryer sheet inside the toilet paper roll. Every time you spin it, you will get a little hint of comfort and freshness.
Your friends will want to know how you get your bathroom to smell so fresh!

5. Socks & Intimates
Slide a sheet in your drawers and you will be amazed at how wonderful your undergarments smell.
Oftentimes, these items can start to smell like a drawer or musty due to lack of airflow. Not anymore! I surprised my husband and slid one in his dressar.
6. Bye Bye Stinky Shoes
These are my “house shoes” and I only wear them inside. Between chasing 4 kids and making cleaning videos for YouTube, I appreciate the extra support and comfort.
I have to admit my shoes can get ripe. Not anymore! I just put a sheet in my shoes at the end of the day, and they smell amazing the next morning.
7. Clean Electronics
Use an old sheet to collect the dust around your keyboards, phones, and other electronic devices. A used dryer sheet is soft, still repels lint, and smells nice.
Also, the top of our Alexa collects a lot of dust so a dryer sheet works great on it.

8. Make Your Luggage Smell Amazing
Place a sheet inside of your suitcase for extra freshness. In addition, you could even use the dryer sheet if you plan to do laundry to save on space while vacationing.

9. Remove Hard Water Stains
Dryer sheets for hard water stains definitely work; however, if you have really stubborn hard water spots you will NEED Steel Wool #0000.

10. Remove Car Odor
Place a sheet under your seats for added freshness. I love this hack, especially in the winter. Smells tend to get trapped in our vehicles because it’s too cold to open the car windows.
Remove bug guts and dirt from your car headlights and mirrors too!
Or, try it on a dirty door. This is the door from our garage into our mudroom (it gets used the most). The dryer sheet cleared up the dirt almost as good as a magic eraser.
