Used dryer sheets.

They are great to use for dusting.

Also you can keep the used dryer sheets and pour liquid fabric softener on them and reuse them again. Just put them in a plastic container and pour a little in and close and shake them all around.

Another tip...cut them in two. You really only need half in most cases.

Also put them in the bottom of trash cans to give them a fresh smell.

A quick tip while were on the subject of Dryers. Many Dryers fail by either the heating element burning out due to high temperatures or even fires. I'm sure everyone here has cleaned out the lint trap, although, you may not have noticed that you should wash this with warm water regularly. There is an invisible film (the greasy feeling on your fingers after cleaning out the screen) that blocks the screen and can lead to a less efficient dryer and possible fire.

Honestly, I find that they make the best scrubbers for cleaning my shower/bathtub. They are abrasive enough to get the soap scum off, but not so harsh that they scratch.

Since I went to liquid fabric softener, I now scrounge around our apartment complex's laundry rooms to find used dryer sheets!

i use them to get the lint out of the lint thingie in the dryer. picks it up super easy. and then i use it to wipe up any excess lint that is on the dryer (our lint thingie is on top the dryer, so lint goes everywhere when you empty it)

Dampen them and clean your screens.(Computer, tv...). Keeps the dust off longer.

Great tips!! I also use them for dusting........give them to my ds and he wipes the stairs down (we have wood treads with carpet down the middle on our stairs).

I've heard keeping one in your pocket deters mosquitoes.

I actually don't even use them anymore, but still have a box nearly full that my former roommate left behind in our old place.

I use them to dust with and also to clean off my tv screens. They keep dust off forever.
I also use my dryer lint to make firestarters. They work beautifully
