Nice cleaning. We have also found they work great. One of the reasons I love this site. I'd never have thought of using them.

Re: First time using it.
You can use less elbow grease if you wipe the wet dryer sheets on and let it set for a couple of minutes. Gives the solution a chance to work.

Re: First time using it.
Looks good. Our front was even worse than that, and dryer sheets worked very well.
Another use for used dryer sheets - scouring sinks and counter tops. Not really scouring, but they have just enough abrasive texture to do a great job. Good use for used dryer sheets - the unused ones would probably create a mess, and the softener in the sheets isn't needed.

They work great in cleaning shower doors and walls. I also wrap a couple around the power cable just inside the hatch cover to keep bugs from entering the camper.

Re: First time using it.
I find the dryer sheets do work great but I have also found that overuse will result in removing the wax on the nose as well. I now use the dryer sheets and then do a quick wax shortly afterwards.

Tracker,
The front of your trailer wasn't bad. THIS was bad -

Love bugs in Mississippi.

Re: First time using it.
That's what mine looked like Tater before I hit it with the hose and a brush trying to get the bugs off.Didn't work...So I put the dryer sheet to it.

Re: First time using it.
Hey all I didn't want to start a new thread for this question, but along the lines of cleaning, have any of you ever run across the mold spores....those little black buggers can survive a nuclear blast!
I think they may be more of a north east issue...
I always thought they were catapiller droppings but come to find out they are not...anyways any good ideas on cleaning them...
I usually use a credit card (always handy for WC repairs as well ;-)
to scrape them off then they can be brushed off, but man you can have hundreds and hundreds of them...
Any magic tricks?

Re: First time using it.
I don't think we've ever had that problem. We get some spots on the awning occasionally. Scruffy uses a mixture of Simple Green and bleach. I suppose that would work anywhere.
