Dryer Sheets’ primary purpose
The primary purpose of dryer sheets would be to reduce static, which is building up inside your dryer as your clothes tumble dry. However, these sheets, usually made of polyester material, can do more than that. There are other dryer sheet uses, such as giving garments a soft feel and fresh scent.
That’s mainly due to the fabric softeners, lubricants, and fragrances that cover each and every sheet.
How do dryer sheets work
Heated dryer settings are in charge of warming the fabric softener that coats a dryer sheet. After heating up, it’s transferred to your clothes and leaves them softer, more fragrant, and static-free. Naturally, the longer answer to this question is way more science-related.
When you dry your clothes, heat and friction are responsible for creating static electricity, which is an imbalance of positive and negative charges. Dryer sheets are coated in positively charged lubricants, which balance out the electric charges that are building up inside your dryer and on your clothing during the wash.
The result is that your clothing and dryer are static-free.

I keep my luggage fresh between trips by throwing a couple of dryer sheets on them. I also place them on tennis shoes that I bring in my carry on, to keep everything else fresh.
Hang a dryer sheet at the entrance to your tent when camping to keep mosquitos away.
I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU PLACE A DRYER SHEET WHERE MICE USUALLY COME INTO YOUR HOUSE—THEY STAY AWAY. TRY IT. IT WORKS.
