Dryer Sheets Made From Vegetables
Below is my very first blog post ever from last June. I was trying very hard to learn text wrapping. I found the formatting maddening and decided it wasn't worth the effort! I was also learning how to hyper link and share resources. Which as you know is part of what blogging is all about.
A little tidbit about these dryer sheets. I have purchased ONE box. It's over a year now, and instead of recycling the sheets I keep re-using them. When they reach a point of no return I then recycle them. It's pretty darn amazing how valid they still are even when using them over and over. One of my pet peeves about dryers is static cling. These solve that issue remarkably well.
These feel a bit like rice paper and they have absolutely NO scent. I love that!
One of my biggest you've got to be kidding can't we please save the environment instead wishes is when the entire neighborhood smells like bounce or snuggles ( or whatever the heck that product is called ) Dryer vents are spewing this stuff into the hemisphere. Don't other folks smell that ? Am I alone in how repulsive that is?
What about when a person smells like their brand of washing detergent? Ahhhhh you use Tide and Bleach. Nice to meet you.
Did you know that in the emergency room there is an actual term for the rash caused by typical dryer sheets known as "Bounce Blush"?
( this just horrifies me )
Natural Health Magazine featured a small blurb on dryer sheets it said:
"Conventional dryer sheets coat clothes with wax and perfumes and are very slow to break down once they're discarded."
Consider a 100% veggie-derived dryer sheet that is completely fragrance free, biodegradable and recyclable.Another hazard that many folks are not aware of is that the waxy build up from conventional dryer sheets leaves a residue on the lint screen that can actually cause fires! When was the last time you cleaned your dryer's lint screen?

by the nose ye shall know them!
dryer vents tell the tale.
thank you for the tips, i also re-use ad almost infinitum and then wrap my spare light bulbs or small antiques or silver in the delicate sheets left after many uses.
i shine faucets and mirrors with them then and weeks later part with them as thin lacey squares in craft projects. wrap paint brushes etc.
