I use mine at least twice.....how often do you use your's before throwing them out?

AND

What other uses have you found for them?

Someone once told me to sit with them around my neck on a hot summer's night to prevent being eaten alive by misquitos

I was also told to use them as dust rags

And my favorite: put them in your favorite drawers to keep the contents smelling fresh!

I find they have a life span of 2 dryer loads! They are great for dusting off the TV screen, not sure about the newer flat panels and such though! Our TV is 5 and I guess old fashioned to todays standards.

I don't use dryer sheets anymore. I use the blue dryer balls. I love them!! I only have static problems once in a while when I'm drying a blanket or something like that.

When I did use dryer sheets I would always use them to dust off the tv as leighann said. I also wore them LOL - seemed I would always have them up my sleeve or pant leg!

I really don't use them all that often, and I cut them in half when I do. I only use them once.

I have been wondering about the blue drier balls so now I will have to go and get me a set of them.

Currently I use my drier sheets once and then the kids use them to dust. I have also put the used ones in our drawers to prolong the smell of "clean" clothes.

I cut mine up into about 4 small pieces and just use them once.

I clip mine to a wooden clothespin and reuse it from load to load - I do at least one load a day, more on the weekend and I can usually use one sheet for 8-10 days.
