Used clothes dryer sheets are more effective at cleaning out the lint in your dryer's lint trap. [Edited by: psm80134 at 2/3/2013 10:24:41 AM EST]
Titanic1985 Champion Author South Carolina Posts:6,538 Points:375,280 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: Feb 3, 2013 10:23:08 AM Ignore Titanic1985 Report Abuse Hi Wizzo. No I haven't used "clothes dryer sheets" as an air freshener. I wondered if there was harm to people in doing that and looked at a box I have. It says: "To add a fresh scent anytime, anywhere! Try them in dresser drawers, your car, in the bottom of the garbage can, gym bags or luggage." I never noticed that before - thanks :-). MGY [Edited by: Titanic1985 at 2/3/2013 10:23:52 AM EST]
