Window Screen Cleaning Tip
How clean are your window or patio door screens?
Have you ever cleaned them? I tumbled upon this way to clean screens totally by accident.
Stock up on dryer sheets!
Have you met Toby? He is our Wheaten Terrier and sometimes ornery. He loves to sneak by me when I am unloading the dryer and snatch the dryer sheet and totally tear it to bits! Sometime ago he had a dryer sheet and was preparing to tear it up, and I happened to be deciding how to clean a patio door screen. I grabbed the dryer sheet from Toby and wiped it across the screen. OMGosh! I looked at the dryer sheet and it was filled with dirt.
Just wipe over the screen. No more trying to take off the screen to wash it or trying to vacuum the screen.
This is a first swipe over the screen.
This is the second swipe over the screen. I usually keep wiping until the dryer sheet has nothing more to clean.

Great use for used dryer sheets. Thanks for posting. By the way, we have a "poochon" (bichon poodle mix) that does the same thing as Tobi - shreds used dryer sheets, tissue, napkins, etc. 😄

We have 2 pit bulls that steal napkins tissues sometimes paper bills, anything paper and eats them. When they do their poo it has white straps in it. My male is worse than his sister.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Where do you buy these sheets, please. Thank you.
Are they toxic to cats? I would love to rub my cat with one if it would keep flies away from him . Has anyone done this, or have a suggestion. He is miserable every summer from fly stings
Can you clean the screen in your washing machine like this??
