Next to the can opener, dryer sheets are one of the best inventions from mankind. For RVers they are as useful as duct tape and we all know that duct tape can do anything.

Some of the more popular uses for dryer sheets are:

1. Getting bugs off the RV – just wet the dryer sheet and the bugs magically come off. The used dryer sheets can be kept by your spouse for just this use versus throwing them away.
2. Mosquito repellant – tuck one in a pocket or belt loop and the blood sucking pests will be annoying somebody else.
3. Placed in various places of the RV will keep things smelling nice and fresh and will keep out those winter visitors while the RV is in storage. If you have some footwear that let’s everyone know your feet sweat, then tuck a sheet inside your shoes and leave them in a storage bin overnight and you will not only have clean smelling shoes, but your storage area will smell fresh.
4. If you have mini blinds, dryer sheets are great for cleaning them and seem to attract the dust. They also are great for dusting the TV screen. Some say you can use on a computer screen BUT make sure your computer if off and unplugged when you do this.
5. The sheets are excellent for cleaning the shower doors as they will leave them squeaky clean and spotless.
6. Prevent thread from tangling by running a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
7. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
8. Collect animal hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
9. Want to quickly freshen up the RV in the humid summer? Place a sheet in the AC vent to give the rig that clean outdoor smell.
10. Here is a link to Bounce’s website for “clever uses” of their product. http://www.bouncesheets.com/en_US/cleveruses/index.jsp
11. Used Bounce dryer sheets are excellent for removing nail polish. It saves manicure time, and uses less nail polish remover.
