Dryer sheets are great for eliminating static cling in your laundry, but they can also be used to clean and remove static electricity on everything from louvered and Venetian blinds to TV screens. Just wipe down the surface with the dryer sheet, then throw it away when it becomes dirty.

Thanks Joe – Great tip!
Another use for dryer sheets – after use in the dryer, don’t throw them away – put one in each of your sneakers and they work great as odor eaters!

Hi Trimtab21, Glad you liked the dryer-sheet tip. And thanks for the new suggestion. I hadn’t heard that one before. Thanks for writing and good luck!–Joe T.

Joe,
Great tip however is there any concern about a dryer sheet scratching a computer or TV screen? It worked just like you said on blinds and they smelled nice afterwards!

Hey Jack, Glad you liked the dryer-sheet tip. I’ve not personally tried using them to clean a TV or monitor, but I can’t imagine how they’d cause scratches. The spent sheets are pretty soft and supple. Thanks for writing and good luck!—Joe T.
