Bed bugs are an everyday part of life, there appears to be no evidence that dryer sheets will repel or prevent bed bug bites. Even if we did find a way to prevent bed bugs, we do not know if this will have negative consequences.

Is it true that dryer sheets placed between the sheet and mattress will deter beg bugs?

we've got bed bugs in my building and i just now got off the phone with my best friend who said to use the dryer sheets and put double stick tape on the bed legs so the bugs get stuck leaving the bed. i am trying it tonight! I'll get back to you if i get results.AnswerI don't know.....but on the off chance that it really does work, why not try it. What do you have to lose? (besides a couple of dryer sheets!) You also might try diatomaceous earth. I have heard that it works against bed bugs and it is not a chemical.


How do you prevent your bedtime?

take a glass of water to bed with you and lie awake for a while (read a book, play video games, etc.) After maybe an hour and a half, pour the water out onto the mattress were your butt usually is and tell your parents that you wet the bed. While the bed sheets are in the washer and dryer, you get to stay up and watch TV!

How to Preserve Your Sheets?

Your bed is a place of comfort and relaxation after a long day, or just for a nice afternoon nap to recharge your batteries. You pull back the sheets, climb in, and pull the sheets over your body. The cool crisp feeling of sheets instantly makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Soon, you begin to notice your sheets are no longer giving you that nice crisp feeling when you climb into bed. You lose some of the pleasure and relaxation you had before. Sure, your bed is still comfortable and relaxing, but not the same as when the sheets were nice and crisp. The following steps are going to show you how you can preserve your sheets and keep them crisp. Step 1: Always follow the washing directions provided with the sheets. Step 2: Wash the sheets in cold or warm water. Washing sheets in hot water wears them out faster. Step 3: Wash and rotate your sheets once a week. Purchase three sets of sheets for you bed. One set will be on the bed, the second set will be in the laundry room and the third set will be in the storage closet. Step 4: While washing your sheets, use less laundry soap that you normally use for washing your clothes. Don't use bleach on your sheets, as bleach wears out the fabric and causes you to be able to see through your sheets. If you do need to use bleach to remove stains, use non-chlorine bleach. Step 5: Don't overload your washing machine when doing sheets. Step 6: Hang your sheets outside on the line to dry, whenever possible. This is the best way to preserve your sheets and gives them that nice fresh air smell to them. Hanging your sheets out in the winter months really gives them a nice, clean smell. Step 7: If you have to dry your sheets in the dryer, dry them slowly. Don't dry sheets on high temperature settings. Use the fluff-dry setting. Step 8: Don't over-dry the sheets. When you pull them out of the dryer, and they are hot to the touch, you have over dried them. Take them out of the dryer just at the point they are dry. Anything more is just going to shorten use. Step 9: When the sheets are done drying, fold them right away to prevent wrinkles. Put them away in the storage closet. These simple little steps will go a long way in preserving your sheets. Instead of using bleach, pour ¼ cup of lemon juice in the wash with the sheets. If you accidentally forget to remove the sheets from the dryer right away, you can get rid of the wrinkles by tossing a damp cloth in the dryer with the sheets. Run the dryer again for about 10 minutes, and this will get rid of most wrinkles.
