Use for Used Fabric Softener Sheets

I save all my used fabric softener sheets and use them to dust. They are especially great for dusting your TV and computer screens. They hold onto the dust and you don't have to worry about static electricity!

Please throw them away! Then, read my post on the dangerous chemicals in these things (and in fabric softeners, laundry detergents, and just about everything else).

You do not want to allow these chemicals to touch your skin. It's okay to be thrifty but it's not wise to re-use these things. Or use them to begin with, for that matter. There are much more worthwhile things to recycle, please don't waste thought or time on fabric softener sheets, they belong in the garbage, as toxic waste.

After I take the weeks garbage to the curb, I drop a fabric sheet in the garbage pail before I put a clean bag in I do this for the small waste paper pails in the other rooms too. They smell good.

Down here in the South, we have lots of bugs (especially "love bugs" in May) which leave a mess on the front of our motorhome. Use several bunched up, used fabric softener sheets as a wash cloth (with water of course) on the dried bug splatter. Don't ask me why but it works.

I use them for interfacing when sewing.

I save the ones I find (when I'm not in a hurry) and keep them in a container on the drier. Honestly, I end up throwing away more than I save but when I do save them I stuff a handful (five or so?) into purses, bags, duffel bags, suitcases, etc., that I'm not currently using. Seems to help keep these items from developing that stuffy, hasn't been used in a while smell, that some closeted items collect. Just be sure to keep them out of reach from the curious kids and pets! :-)

Take a couple or more and wet them and use to clean surfaces as you would a wash cloth. They'll still be reusable for cleaning after that until they fall apart. ;-)

I throw them in my lingerie drawer; the scent lingers enough to give everything a fresh smell. Anywhere you could use a sachet, you can use a fabric softener sheet. The sheets are also good for dusting. They seem to attract dust ~ maybe because of the static? They leave a nice shine to wood surfaces as well.

Yes, used fabric softener sheets can be used in a couple ways. If you really want to get your moneys worth when you have about 10 sheets that are done in. Toss them in your laundry together and they will still do one more load. Another thing that is a little more practical is you can rub them on you skin and keep a sheet or two in pockets and they keep mosquitoes away. (That's what I usually do with them)

Don't throw away your used fabric softener sheets. You can use them to clean stubborn casserole dishes and roasters.
