Dryer lint hack: Cozy pet bedding
Suppose you have any hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, or similar critters that might live in a terrarium or traditional hamster cage. In that case, you already have a quick and easy way to repurpose a lot of monthly dryer lint.
Usually, you would have to buy things like pine shavings for your little rodent friends to nest, burrow, sleep, and soil. But here’s a genius dryer lint hack: It’s not only softer than pine shavings, it’s also totally free!
That said, if you’re using your dryer lint for an animal, it’s best to use natural detergents and avoid fabric softeners and scents because some creatures can be pretty sensitive.
Dryer lint hack: Start a fire
Are you on a camping trip, and all the wood you find is soggy? Dryer-lint fire starters to the rescue! Simply fill a few empty toilet paper rolls with some dryer lint and wrap them in wax paper to seal off the ends.
The wax paper acts as an excellent wick for lighting. But this dryer lint hack isn’t just reserved for campfires. It works just as well if you have a fireplace in your home and need something to start a fire with!

I found the lint hack very interesting. Now to start saving my lint
You are being very irresponsible by telling people to use the dryer lint in a pet cage. That can be very toxic to them as chemicals are used in the detergent and fabric softener used on clothes. They use shavings for a reason.
I want to know
He’ll no! Absolutely not.

When you clean the dryer vent after every load you will have small pieces. If you clean after 3 to 5 loads (Depending on your dryer) you will be able to remove it in sheets which most of these hacks would actually need in order to work properly.
Cleaning after each load is not necessary at all. There really isn’t enough on the screen to do anything but make a mess of the laundry area. That has been my experience, anyway.
I like the ideas. I thought about all that lint being used for something but, I never tried to come up with anything.
I liked your ideas for dryer lint but wondered if it is possible to use dryer lint to make paper. I knew recycled paper products can be used to make new paper but since lint is recycled fiber I wondered if it could be processed into paper.
Tried them ! Didn’t loose a single lb.! Rip off!!!!!!
you are a moron
