Here Are All The Ways You Can Use A Hair Dryer Around Your Home That Don’t Actually Involve Hair
There are so many beauty products and tools that can be used for many other practical things.
For instance, some people use lip balm for many other things besides hydrating their lips – it’s also great for loosening stuck rings and zippers!
One of my favorite versatile beauty tools that has more than one use is a hair dryer!
Of course, hair dryers are primarily used for drying wet hair, styling it, and adding volume, but they can be used for several things that don’t involve your hair at all.
If you have a hair dryer hanging around your home that doesn’t get much use, here are some alternative uses you can try.
Drying off your dog
If your dog got wet in the rain or needed an emergency bath at home and you need to dry them off quickly, use your hair dryer! It works great for dogs who are used to getting dried off at the groomers and can get them back to being warm and fluffy in no time. Just make sure you’re not using a temperature setting that is too high.
Dusting hard-to-reach areas
Even if you have a duster on hand, using a hair dryer can get the job done faster and remove dust from areas in your home that are harder to reach. For instance, after putting it on a powerful setting, use your hair dryer to dust bookshelves, cupboards, parts of your bathroom, etc.

Peeling off labels and stickers
I can’t stand when there’s a label or sticker on something I’m desperate to remove and can’t seem to do it with my fingers alone. While many people know the famous ‘run it under hot water’ trick, you can also use a hair dryer to get these off.
Set your hair dryer to a high temperature, point it towards the sticker or label you want off, and watch the magic as it melts the glue, making it easy to remove.
Cleaning fake plants
A lot of people who struggle to keep real plants alive in their home often resort to fake plants, however, fake plants can be difficult to maintain as well, because of the amount of dust they can collect.
When they get dusty, they get kind of nasty and hard to clean. But, using a hair dryer can blow that dust away quickly, leaving your fake plants looking more real than ever.
Remove crayon markings
Do you have a little one who loves drawing on your home’s walls and finishing with crayons? Instead of freaking out, thinking your walls are forever ruined, turn on your hair dryer, and use it to melt down the crayon’s wax. Then, simply wipe it away with a cloth and remove any remaining residue with soap and water.
Now, you are equipped with all this extra hair dryer knowledge that can help save you from inconvenient at-home messes and minor issues. Have you ever used a hair dryer for these things before?
