We get piles of these in our laundry trash but they still smell so nice, and I hate thinking that there's probably something handy I could do with them.
Any thoughts or uses?

1.Crinkle it up and put in smelly shoes
2.Put in vacuum cleaner bag to freshen the room while vacuuming
3.Put it under your car seat
4.Save them and re-use them by spraying essential oil scent of choice on them and throw back into dryer
5.When you donate clothes to the thrift store or whatever, put them in the bag with the clothes to keep fresh.

Some of my personal favorite uses:
1. use them to do dishes! You can put them into pots and pans that have stuck on food etc. and the dryer sheets will make the food come off easily. Then use them to clean the pots an dpans, esp. for non stick- they won't ruin your pots and pans.
2. Use them to stop static cling and straighten out clothes. For example, when my daughter wore her dressy holiday dress and the tulle was all crinkled up, I used a dryer sheet to get the tulle nice and straight again.
3. Put them into drawers to keep clothes smelling good. Put them into your suitcase to keep your clothes fresh when traveling.
4. Dusting: they work great.

keep them in your dirty laundry hamper. They help combat the odors there.
There is also a lot of other ways to help freshen up a place that you want using old dryer sheets.
The trick is to pile a whole bunch of them in like a cheese cloth. That way the scent can permeate the area

There are several things you can do to reuse them.
They are amazing for dusting and be used on any surface.
You can put them in with your air filters to make your whole house smell great.
You can use them in your pillow cases for an always fresh smell.
You can use them in your linen closets to keep your towels always smelling fresh.
You can use them in shoes or dresser drawers.
Basically, you can use them to help freshen any place in your home!
My personal favorite is to dust with them.
I love to put unused ones in the air filters because it freshens the whole house for weeks.

If you like to put away and store out of season clothes in bags, throw in your tumble dryer sheets to prevent mustiness.

we use our used dryer sheets as mosquito repellent. My son has sensitive skin so we can't use creams. I just tuck one in his back pocket and no bites. I put them in the stroller sticking out a little. Also in camping backpacks! It also eliminates the wonderful "outdoor smell". Hope it helps!

Slip them in your dresser drawers to keep your clothes smelling good longer. They also work well to take soap scum & water spots off your shower door.

Those dryer sheets are great for dusting, especially your T.V. screen

I like putting them in my dresser drawers under my clothes and then there's always art!

you can lay them between your towels, sheets etc. so they will smell fresh and put them in your dresser drawers.
