Clean Dirty Fan Blades
Fan blades can get real dirty real fast. Trying to get them clean can cause dust to fly everywhere. An easy way to clean them is to wipe them down with a dryer sheet because the dust will stick to the sheet instead of flying all over the place.
Clean Dried Up Bugs Off Your Car
Use a dryer sheet to remove dead bugs off of the windshield and grill of your car. The texture of the sheet will scrub off the bugs but is still soft enough to buff your car.
Soap Scum and Water Stains
Dampen a used dryer sheet and use it to wipe down your shower door, sink, tiles, and other areas in the bathroom that have water stains and soap scum.
Sharpen Scissors
You can sharpen up dull scissors by wiping the blades with a used dryer sheet then cutting through it.

Fill your burnt pan with warm water and place a new dryer sheet on top of the water and let it sit overnight. All of the burnt gunk will come right up in the morning.
Window Blinds
Window blinds are another place where dust can quickly build up. You can wipe that up right away with a dryer sheet. The dust will cling right to it.
