Yes, I do. The second time you don't get as much scent, and I'm sure not the full effect, but it is much more econmical and I find that the clothes are softer and nicer than without one at all.

No, you can't. Dryer sheets release a chemical into your clothes in the form of a powder upon contact. After one use most or all of the chemical is gone leaving you with just a cloth-like material. You can re-use them but it really wont help anything.

I do, as well, but I always wet them first to activate the softener that is left in the sheet.

I have been reusing them for a long time and they seem to work fine. I probably reuse one dryer sheets 3 times.

I too have found that they dont scent the load the second time, however i keep mine and put them in drawers after the first load... and replace them as needed.... kind of recycles them in a way, aned I find the clothes keep a fresh scent longer....could be wishfull thinking, i am not too sure =)
Best of luck.

Well I have but more than twice is pushing it. Does not have quite the same power but good enough :) Better to re-use for the environment anyway ;)

I only use them once. They don't have much softener and scent in them for a second use, so they wouldn't be very effective. I think the manufacturer intends for them to only be used once.

I cut mine in half, and use a half at a time! I have alergies and they make me itch, and by only using a half of one I am not getting so much of the chemicals on my clothes

Yes, but I use a new at the same time, so I always have two going at once - a new one and one that is on it's seond run.

I use mine more then once. If it seems like a real dud, I'll put a couple of old ones in.
