Simply remove the wire handle, unfold the carton, and you've got yourself a plate.

What else can dryer sheets do? Everything. Shoes smell bad? Stick a dryer sheet in overnight. Have a greasy pan you can't clean? Soak the pan in water and a dryer sheet and it wipes away. Users online have even sworn that dryer sheets are the best way to get dead bugs off your car.

Pilling is the easiest way to ruin that sweater you love dearly. A pill — or bobble, fuzzball, lint ball, etc — will form over time when a garment is worn frequently., Basically all fabrics pill and no one ever teaches you how to get rid of them.
