Placing them in the air vents of your vehicle will freshen it up. Although, it may be a little strong at first.

I always carry a dryer sheet in my purse for those days when my clothes feel staticky (not sure how you spell this) lol. All you have to do is take the dryer sheet and rub it on the inside of your clothes and they will not stick to you anymore! It also makes my purse smell great!
