Weird: Dryer Softener Sheets
< Prev Tip |
Next Tip >
If you don't hate the scent of those softener sheets
(that go in the dryer to eliminate static electricity) Then this
hot tip is for you! The manufacturer says they will chase ants away
when you lay a sheet near them. And a sheet will also:
-
Repel mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of softener sheet through abelt loop when
outdoors during mosquito season.
-
Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Use one of those little sheets as
a cleaning cloth.
-
Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needlethrough a softener
sheet before beginning to sew.
-
Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheetin a pan, fill with
water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent
apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan while the
fabric softening agents soften the baked-on food. (I'd give it a good
scrub afterwards, though. If that stuff will dissolve baked-on food,
what will it do to your insides!
-
Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a softener sheet will
magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
-
Eliminate static electricity from venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with
a softener sheet to prevent dust from resettling.
-
Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. Softener sheets
will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
My favorite: To reduce static electricity on your television
screen and computer screens, wipe them with one of those little fabric
softener sheets that go in the dryer. After all, the sheets are also
designed to help eliminate static cling.
Weird Huh?
I guess that says it all for this issue.
Unless of course you want some
MORE HOT TIPS!
