Oh Dryer Lint, How Do I Love Thee
Years ago a friend made an off-hand comment that if there was a way to use dryer lint to make money, we could make a fortune. Dryer lint is free and it seems to be endless in supply.
So over the years, just for fun, I have compiled a list of ways that lint can be used instead of thrown away. I haven't figured out a way to make money with lint, but you might be able to save a buck or two. Below are a few of my favorites.
Let me count the ways....
- Dryer lint can be used to wrap fragile items being sent in the mail.
- Lint can be used in children's art projects: roll it in a ball to create snowmen, or use it as hair or fur in drawings of people and animals.
Would love for you to follow me @norene
Very creative! You'd have to be super careful with the cotton ball nail polish remover idea... both of those are HIGHLY flammable. No matches allowed within 1,000 miles. 😂
Awesome use of a waste product. thank you for your green footprint efforts to help the planet.
LOVE this post! I've wondered the same thing for years! As much as I prefer using our "solar dryer" (clothesline - oh, that fresh sunshine scent!) we do use the machine a lot. We don't use fabric softener, so I'm going to start throwing the lint into the compost heap. Thank you!
