My cleaning hack keeps my washer and dryer lint-free – it only takes a minute and I get extra use out of a laundry buy
A CLEANING fan has shared the trick that keeps their washer and dryer lint-free.
They explained that the trick takes very little time and helps them maximize their laundry supplies.
Redditor Head-Drag-1440 shared the cleaning hack in a post.
“I found the easiest way to keep my washer and dryer free of dust and lint is to use a used dryer sheet to wipe them down,” they said.
The free hack, they explained, helps them get the most out of their dryer sheets.
“Not only that but it proved effective without taking much time.
“Takes only a minute, picks it all up easily and quickly, and shows any dried up spots of laundry soap that may have dripped which easily rubs off,” they said.
“Plus, I already have the used dryer sheet as I take clothes out of the dryer.”
Many shared their own cleaning tips and tricks after being inspired.
“When I switch washer to dryer I inevitably drop a damp sock,” said one commenter.
“Just can’t bring myself to let it continue on its journey to the dryer so I use it to wipe the lint dust off the washer/dryer etc. then it gets rewashed with the next load.”
“Ohmigosh! I am like this, too! I now empty the washer with a laundry basket underneath,” said another.
“Before I do laundry I quickly go through the home and dust all surfaces with my lightly used clothing,” one viewer said.
“Because I do laundry on a schedule, it’s a good reminder. When I do a deep dusting session, it hardly takes me longer than a few minutes because it doesn’t accumulate very much to begin with now.
“Next, I invested in a Robovac that is scheduled to run each day. Not only does it keep my floors clean, but it helps me keep my floors clean by not putting anything on the floor in the first place.
“This means things usually end up where they belong since I can’t just leave it wherever.

“Lastly, making the bed or folding the throw blankets in the living room makes the place look so much more organized and clean.
“Even when I haven’t done anything else. It just looks less messy overall and hardly takes any time at all.”
One viewer shared a trick that helps them clear their clean laundry without feeling stressed out.
“If you have a huge pile of laundry to fold that is overwhelming you, fold the towels first,” they advised.
“They are the bulkiest items and the pile will get smaller very quickly.
” It helps with the mental aspect of reducing the overwhelmingness.”
