Do dryer sheets smell worse than men's cologne?
I've never been able to decide whether I hate the smell of men's cologne more than I hate the smell of dryer sheets, but I run from both as fast as I can. Who knows why cologne and dryer sheet companies think their products smell good. Maybe the idea is that they smell better than another smell they are covering up, as in, Gee, I just got off work at the sewage treatment plant, so maybe I'll splash on half a bottle of Eau de Annoying before I go out on my date. But I digress. Dryer sheets do more than make you clothes smell like someone's idea of "Spring-TIme Fresh" (yeah, maybe at the sewage treatment plant). They can also coat your dryer's filter with a waxy substance that will clog the filter's fine mesh. Removing the lint after each load isn't enough. Use an old toothbrush, warm water and detergent to gently scrub the filter twice each year. A clean filter will enable your clothes to dry faster and save you some bucks on your energy bill.

couldn't agree more on both 'smell' accounts... yet, i have noticed that when my neighbor runs her dryer, as she has obviously bought into the dryer sheet 'marketing joke', the summertime mosquito population seems to disappear...
I think you both are just weird dryer sheets and cologne both smell good.
