We have kids and pets so I don’t have to tell you that there are sometimes some pungent odors around our home. I’m always looking for ways to maximize our household budget and to use products that we already have around our home. Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets smell absolutely delicious and provide 30 days of long-lasting freshness.
Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets help to reduce static cling and always leave all of my laundry soft and smelling fresh. Many people don’t know, however that these sheets can also be used all over your home to keep your whole house smelling great!
Here are some of the ways that you can use these dryer sheets aside from using them in the laundry:
- Tuck a sheet into hampers to tackle the odor of dirty laundry.
- Put a sheet inside of linen closets and other laundry storage areas to tackle strong odors.
- Place a dryer sheet inside your clothing drawers to make sure your clothes always smell fresh and clean.
- Rub a dryer sheet on your clothing before leaving the house to reduce static cling.
- Keep some dryer sheets in the glove compartment of your car to keep that musty car smell at bay.
I bet you had no idea that one little dryer sheet could be useful in so many ways! For those of us who are pet owners too, Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets also helps to repel pet hair and lint on your clothing. We have a Labrador mix with black fur so this is extremely important since we don’t want hair all over us when we leave the house. You will fall in love with their scent just like I did as soon as you get a whiff of how delicious they smell!
Let’s Discuss: Besides using them in the laundry, what are some of the other creative ways that you use dryer sheets around your home?

I put them inside my pillow cases and it smells so good when you lay down on your pillow
I use them to wipe the baseboards around my house. They pick up the dust well and smell good.
These are great ideas! I have used drier sheets to keep the mosquitos away before.
I keep one in my car under the seat, it works wonders to help with the great scents that having an active family does. We also use one in the litter box area for the cats – helps a lot more than one would think.
You know when you have a dish full of caked on food? I soak it overnight with water and a dryer sheet and by the morning, it all comes right off.
I have used them around the litter box to help prevent the odors from spreading. I’ve also used them in the back of my closets and in my dresser drawers.
Great tips! We also stuff them inside of toilet paper rolls for scent. 🙂
i sometimes put them in my daughters shoes
The only other way I use them is when I am packing away my winter or summer clothes, I put a few sheets in with the clothing.
I use them in my hair to reduce static in the winter time.
I love dryer sheets! And I love the idea of keeping some in the glove compartment!
I like to put them in my vent to add a pleasant smell to the whole house.
I put them in my dresser drawers to keep my clothes smelling fresh.
I never heard that they helped repel pet hair before. I’ll have to test that out!
I didn’t know there were so many ways to use dryer sheets. I have to try them out for repelling pet hair because I am always covered in it.
Great tips ! It is awesome when you can find multiple uses for an item.
I never thought of putting them in the car but that would work for me. I know my mom puts them in the bottom of her garbage cans and thinks they work well keeping the odor down from the trash.
I put them in the linen and coat closets. I never thought to put them in the dirty clothes, that’s brilliant.
We use them on my daughter’s super staticy hair, and in the bottomr of trash cans.
I love using dryer sheets! They definitely make me feel like they have a nice clean scent!
I use them when I pack up Christmas decorations.
I have not tried these Purex Crystals dryer sheets yet, but if they will help repel our yellow Lab’s hair, I am picking some up this weekend.
These ideas are so great! I will never look at another dryer sheet quite the same again. I better start using them for more than just in the dryer
You can put the sheets in the car to add a great scent.
These smell so great! I use them for so much including cleaning, scenting our drawers, and so much more!
I like to stuff them in shoes, and I always put them at the bottom of garbage cans.
you can use them to wipe off the dust on lampshades! works great.
I put them in my car under the seat
I’ve heard these are great to stop static, I need to get hold of some I think 🙂 x
I’ve heard people putting them on their candle warmers. I need to try it!
I use put them in suitcases, linen and blankets that are being stored for the season, and to rub across my hair to tame fly-aways and to give it a pleasant scent.
I like to put dryer sheets in sneakers that need a little refreshing.
Thank you for the review and giveaway!
Wow thank you for all those great uses for dryer sheets. I know that we always kept them in the drawers when I was growing up.
I haven’t really used dryer sheets in any other way than laundry. I like tips on using them to keep things like shoes smelling fresh.
I haven’t been very creative with my dryer sheets. But now I’m going to be!
I’ve never really used dryer sheets for anything other than the dryer, but after reading through these comments, I will be buying a few extra packs for some cool uses around the house.
I put them under the seats in my car. Great air freshener!
I put them in empty suitcases, drawers, etc., I hang them in closets, I put them under the front seats of our cars, I pack boxes of off-season clothes with them….I even keep one folded up and rubber banded to my hair brush to help cut down static in the winter.
I put the dryer sheets in my car and I have also used them in my closet as well. When I put my car up for the winter I throw some dryer sheets in there, it makes it smell nice and also keeps the mice away.
I really like to add the dryer sheets in my sock drawers. It really works for me.
I entered your scrubbing bubbles giveaway also, thank you
I put them in my stinky sneakers. They make a big difference.
I’ve never heard of using them anywhere else. I’ll have to read the comments and try some of them.
