	What if you just put it through the dishwasher once in a while? My furnace has those metal mesh filters much like a range hood does, every month or so I blow them out with compressed air and then run them through the dishwasher.

	Weeeell... This was current a month or two ago. I don't use the dryer sheets at home, but I was in a wellsite shack with a dryer, and it had had a number of dryer sheets run through it. So I pulled the lint screen, and ran water on it. Went right through, NO signs whatsover of it beading up. Gord Richmond (destroyer of urban legends)

I was planning to confirm the original finding today. She pulled the otherwise clean looking lint screen and put it under a faucet. For her, water did pool and ran through slowly. She cleaned it with a brush using soap and water. When she put it under a faucet again the water ran through without pooling. Maybe it's a matter of how many dryer sheets have been used and for how long. Our drier is a Whirlpool that is nearly 24 years old and I did have to replace the heating element in the past year (for the first time). If washing the lint screen will get us another 24 years service, that's a small price to pay<G>. Paul Johnson

	On a Lark (obligatory Studebaker content), I brought the screen from ours upstairs last weekend and ran water thru it. It also pooled on top and some ran through. Scrubbed it really good with dish soap and a brush and the water no longer pooled. I did notice that drying time since then has been reduced a bit as well. By the way, we do not use dryer sheets but do use a liquid fabric softener.
