Life hacks are a great thing to look up because there's plenty of things you don't know that came from other people's mistakes, misfortunes and bad situations that can make those situations easier on you.
So here's two situations I think everyone gets in and although I'm sure others have come across the same solution I came up with these by myself from my own experiences.
These two only require a dryer sheet. If you've read my emergency beauty kit post and you now have one or are in the process of making one this is one thing you can add for these two common situations.
How to fix lint on clothes, furniture, etc. With only a dryer sheet:
First grab your item of clothing. In my most recent youtube video (I will link at the end of this post) I used a pretty big, poofy fleece on the inside sleevless vest.
But you can use anything. Even furniture. I then took a dryer sheet and started rubbing small areas in circular motions with a little pressure. This should remove any fuzzys. Then if there's a tiny bit left behind just whipe off the area with a firm hand or grab some tape, preferably duct tape and put it on the remaining lint and rip off like you're waxing yourself. Ta da! That's all folks!
How to fix flyaways in hair with only a dryer sheet.
Use any dryer sheet brand or scent. You only need one. If you have those pesky flyaways then definitely do this if you're in a hurry and don't want to weigh your hair down with product or breathe in hairsprays.
Brush through your hair and after it's styled grab the dryer sheet, lay flat over your palm and then rub palm with sheet from roots to ends of hair. You don't have to use anything but regular pressure from your hand for this to work. If it didn't work the first time do it a couple more until flyaways are fully subdued. This is a great hack that not only tames flyaways but makes your hair smell and look amazing without weighing your hair down.
Just a few more that I've learned over time and from others.
Having to dust your computer screen often? The electronically charged screens around your home, like your tv actually attract dust. Dryer sheets stop that so you can hold off dusting them for a few more days than usual. You can use new or old dryer sheets for all of these remaining hacks.
After washing chrome hubcaps or even your toaster it can be streaky. Use a used dryer sheet to get a streak free shine.
Stick on the back of a running fan for a nice, fresh smell in your home.
Use them as a freshener in your drawers, suitcases, laundry hampers, trash bins, couches, etc.
Use to clean stained pots and pans just put one in with a pot of boiling water.
Clean rings around the toilet. You can also use a pumice stone for really stuck on stains.
Rub on your beautiful body to repel mosquitos without that nasty spray.
These all work better with fresh dryer sheets but I've heard of people repurposing old used sheets for the same uses.
Hope you enjoyed my life hacks and if you did just let me know and I will do more posts like this.
