If you save the lint from your dryer, you can roll pieces of it on the ends of skewer sticks for use in your workshop. This also works with belly button lint but only if the whole family contributes.

Belly button lint on skewers could be dipped in melted earwax to make tiny flambeaux. |

Sort of a Hint from Heloise except ewwww. |
|
| |
So you are making Q-Tips? |
|
| |
Yes! bigger than average Q-Tips. I have to admit that I multitask with my dryer lint. It has a magnetic quality so after cleaning the filter, on my way back upstairs, I wipe |
|
| |
the basement steps with a wad of the lint. Don't knock it until you try it, lol. |
|
| |
If the Swiffer reps find out you're muscling in on their action they'll getcha. |
|
| |
Dryer lint makes a great fire starter for camping, too. |

Magnetic lint ? What are you putting in that dryer ? |
|
| |
This is so gross I can't even believe we are
discussing
it. Have you inspected the stuff it collects? It's fur
and hair and crap off the animals in our house.
Ewww,
dusting with the dogs fallen off coat doesn't sound
like I'm cleaning anything. Why not just roll
everything
around on the floor to clean it? (8th, that first
comment, on second read, was hysterical.) |

// Why not just roll everything around on the floor to clean it? // |
|
| |
Er .... there's another way ? |
|
| |
You misread, 8th. He clearly said magnedic, not magnetic. |
|
| |
Maybe he has a slight cold. |

"Gross. Just Gross."
By the time it ends up on your dryer's lint screen it should be pretty clean, no? Maybe not sterile, but what in your house is? |
|

Magnadick! <leaves to add a superhero post> |

I'll bet that it's even cleaner than your dish sponge or toothbrush.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to wad the lint into a ball after I use it and reuse it as fire-starter. |

Uhm... clean dog hair is still dog hair in my world.
Sorry the gross stands. Maybe you could pluck a few
eyelashes and swab the sink with them? HUH??? |
|
| |
Bushy, bushy...did you say BUSHY??? My eyelashes are
not bushy, butt head. Now my eyebrows, that's a
whole 'nother story. |

Ummmmmmm. ! suppose you would not care for my idea for a brillo pad then? |
|

I'm thinking not, but then... |

Compared to what ? Wool ? Angora ? It's a chitinous fibre obtained from a eukaryote. If it's clean, then it's clean. Some people produce sweaters and pullovers from wool from Old English Sheepdogs and other long-haired breeds (and no animals were harmed in the production, either). Why not ? |
|

I used to put all the lint into a clear plastic bottle. It was quite
interesting to see all the different colours from the usual grey-
blue to black, green or sometimes red. The layers were
fascinating to look at, they had an almost geological aspect to
them. |
