10 Ways Dryer Sheets Maintain Your Car

Every Friday we will deliver a #FunFact! In this case we have 10! Thats right TEN ways you can be using dryer sheets, even used ones, to clean your car!

1. Air Freshener

Place an opened box of dryer sheets in your car for long lasting freshness. In fact place a few dryer sheets under the seats, in the glove boxes, in the trunk, and in your vents as well. You can even wipe down your seats and floor matts for a bonus factor!

2. Vacuum

Place dryer sheets in the vacuum when cleaning your car to heighten airfreshener effect.

3. Shine Chrome

New or used dryer sheets will work wonders on chrome, and will leave you with a nice, shiny, result.

4. Remove Streaks on Glass

Small kids or pets in your car? Use dryer sheets to remove streaks on glass from those little hands and slobbery faces (your pets, not your kids... but if the shoe fits).

5. Remove Pet Hair

Speaking of your furry friends; dryer sheets are incredibly effective at removing animal hair from upholstery.

6. Dusting

Dust your vents, your dash, and your doors with these tiny wonders! Not only do they do a superb job of removing dust and grime, but they also do a wonderful job of preventing dust bunnies!

7. Remove Bugs From Your Grill and Bumper

I'm not sure who the first person was to figure this out, but they are #genius! Note: used dryer sheets work best!

8. Clean Your Entertainment Screens

Wipe down your entertainment console, fold down or head rest screens, and even the family ipad. Dryer sheets remove streaks, dust, and smell awesome!

9. Car Seat Magic

This is my favorite! Stuff a few of these bad boys between the seat and the cushion, under the car seat, in the car seat... heck just tie a box of them to your kids! JK. But seriously; If you have kids you should never travel with out them. Potty training accidents, spilled food and drinks, and other smelly situations will never be the same! You can even wipe down the seat until you are better able to wash it thoroughly!

10. Repel Pests

Another goodie, placing dryer sheets in your car deters pests. Bugs, insects, and RODENTS! For whatever reason they can't hang with the sheets! If you live in the country this tip can save you THOUSANDS! Mice can be detrimental to your vehicle!
