Used sheets can come in handy and add an extra value to your purchase by the additional uses they provide - after the laundry is done:
~ Prevent thread from tangling when sewing. Run a threaded needle through a dryer sheet right before you begin your handiwork.
~ Dust your furniture, TV and computer screens - anti-static chemicals in the dryer sheet attract dust. Use a new or used sheet on your mini blinds and the dust will not easily settle back on them!
~ Freshen the smell of dresser drawers, old books and albums by putting a dryer sheet inside.
~ Freshen up smelly shoes - use overnight and by morning the shoes will not smell anymore!
~ Dampen a used dryer sheet to use on your glass shower door to remove soap scum. They can also clean chrome well and bathroom accessories and even your car door handles!
~ Refresh stagnant smelling luggage and totes by placing a sheet inside them.
~ Because the dryer sheets repel small animals (mice, etc.) and bugs (mosquitoes, etc.), if you tuck one in your pocket, picnic basket or anywhere there is evidence of the presence of small animals or insects, they will not go near!
~ Take the dryer sheets with you on fishing and camping trips. The will not only repel those little insect and animals pests, they will keep your gear (sleeping bag, back packs, etc.) fresh smelling!
~ Pots and pans with burned on food are easy to clean when you have a dryer sheet handy. Place a dryer sheet in the bottom of the pan before you fill it with water. Leave it overnight and the burned on food will easily come off!
~ Clean your iron! Put it on a low setting and clean it with the dryer sheet!
~ Store one in the containers you use for your storage of winter linens, clothes, items for the attic, etc. It will eliminate the musty smells that can occur.
~ In Florida, the Love bugs are a problem. When stuck on your car, they are difficult to remove. Wet the car and wipe it with an unused dryer sheet and the bugs come off very easily!
~ Rub a dryer sheet on your hair after blow drying to reduce the static. This also works for your clothes!
~ Pet hair clings to the dryer sheets when you are wiping furniture, clothing, etc.
~ Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used dryer sheet will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
~ Put a dryer sheet in your vacuum cleaner for freshness to spread as you use it!

Great tips! I always take my used fabric sheets and put them in the linen closet. It keeps the linens from having that "closet" smell. I also like to put them under the seats in my car to act as an air freshner.
