Dryer lint hack: Oil down tools
You can use a clump of dryer lint to apply linseed oil to all your tools that have wooden handles to keep them from cracking. You can even use it on metal parts after cleaning to keep them from getting covered in rust.
Then, be sure to let the lint and linseed oil dry thoroughly before throwing it in the garbage. This part of the dryer lint hack is vital: Always allow rags used with any oil-based finish or stain to dry entirely before throwing them away because they can cause a fire.
Dryer lint hack: Free packing material
If you’ve ever had to mail something fragile, finding a suitable packing material in a typical home is surprisingly tricky. After all, we don’t usually have packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or plastic pillows just lying around.
They can be pretty expensive to stock up on. But don’t worry! This dryer lint hack comes to the rescue! It’s accessible, nearly infinite, and fairly soft. Especially for smaller items, it makes an excellent material for packing and shipping.

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
