The Clever Reason Dryer Sheets Are Being Found In Illinois Bathrooms

Dryer sheets.  Who knew right?  While you think they are just to make clothes smell fresh and static-free in your dryer people continue to discover new ways to use these in and out of the house.

In Illinois, people have been putting dryer sheets in mailboxes to keep the bees out.  This also works to keep gnats away from your face.  Just tuck some dryer sheets in your collar.

Now here is a new life hack reason to stock up on dryer sheets.

Why Illinois Is Keeping Dryer Sheets In The Bathroom

Now it's best to use a fresh dryer sheet for this life hack.  You could try to first use it in the dryer and then take it to the bathroom but the results probably won't be the same.

The result that a dryer sheet in the bathroom can give you is a sparkling clean bathtub and shower!

Make Your Bathroom Shine With Dryer Sheets

According to hometalk.com, all you need is a dryer sheet, warm water, a cloth, and gloves.

1. Give the tub a quick rinse to loosen up the grime.
2. Dampen your dryer sheet slightly with warm water.  Not dripping wet, just enough to get the cleaning chemicals in the dryer sheet active.
3. Scrub.

That's it.  Rinse and repeat as needed.  They claim that not only will it work on the tub but also on the tile, the faucet, and anywhere you see grime and gunk.

Well...I guess since I'm writing this I should give it a try.  Hold please.....

Hey!  That worked pretty well.  It took the grime off.  And I'm a dirty boy so it did a good job.  I will say the only downside is that dryer sheets are pretty thin.  So I'd double or even triple stack them to really put some elbow grease into it.  Otherwise, I'd call this life hack a success!
