DayTipper is a really great website that I stumbled upon over the weekend. I came across the site while looking for an answer on how to clean something. Not only did I find a solution to my problem, I discovered that there’s an expert on a vast array of problems in this one-stop little spot! A super great problem solving website that’s easy to navigate and well designed.

Caked On Food
If you are having trouble getting baked on food out of a casserole dish, fill it with hot water. Add a fabric softener sheet. Let it soak for a couple of hours and then rinse. Most of the caked on food will slide right out, and the rest will come out with a swipe of the sponge.

Pots
Food that is burned onto a pot or skillet works the same way. Just fill with warm water and throw in a few dryer sheets. Let it soak for at least a half hour, but a couple of hours works best.

Sticking Clothes
During the dry months, put a used fabric softener sheet in your pocket. This helps prevent static cling. You can also rub it over your hair to get those flyaway strands.

Repel Bugs
It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loopwhen outdoors during mosquito season.

Used sheets are great for:

• Dusting the washer and dryer, tv and computer screens.

• Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

• Eliminate odors in wastebaskets.

• Stick one in your pillow case for a fresh scent while you are sleeping!

• Put a sheet in your vacuum cleaner (bag).

• Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet in your shoes or sneakers overnight.

• Remove Soap Scum Use to wipe soap scum off your tub, tile and shower doors. No chemicals, no messy sprays or soaps, just wipe down your glass and tile walls with a dryer sheet and the soap scum is gone.

• Clean those Blinds – Just clean each slat with a sheet. You’ll probably need more than one, but it will clean, shine and deter future buildup.

• Freshen Drawers and Closets

• Handyman’s Helper – Keep a box of dryer sheets on the workbench for quick cleanup after messy woodworking projects. A dryer sheet will pick up sawdust like metal to a magnet.

• Tangle Free Sewing – If you sew or do needlepoint, you’ll appreciate dryer sheets as a detangler. Just run your thread across a dryer sheet and you won’t have to worry about those frustrating knots and tangles. Always keep a dryer sheet or two in a zip lock in your sewing basket.
