The many uses of 'Bounce'!

[Csara]

ok, I don't know if these work or not, but I figured it's worth a shot and wanted to pass it along (got it in email).


And all this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!

It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.

It also repels mice.. spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers,
cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too
often.

Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors
during mosquito season.

Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.

Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your
television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.

Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a
drawer or hang in the closet.

Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce
before beginning to sew.

Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty
luggage before storing.

Freshen the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with
water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The antistatic agent apparently
weakens the bond Between the food.

Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of
the wastebasket.

Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically
attract all the loose hairs.

Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a
sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will
collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the
bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or
sneakers overnight.

Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.

Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing
them. Keeps them smelling fresh.

I tried dusting my computer monitors and tvs with a bounce sheet and it works. If anyone tries any of these, please report back and let us know what works and what doesn't. ;)

I can vouch for the sleeping bag, I've used that trick for sleeping bags, sheet sets, and comforters that I store. You can use any kind of dryer sheet. Also works great for static in hair. In the winter here when the static is bad I rub a sheet that went through the dryer on my hair and it takes out the static. I also use dryer sheets from a days laundry to dust, they work great!

I keep one in the bottom of my kitchen trash can. Then I put the trash bag over it. You know how the trash can will actually pick up the smell if you leave stinky kitchen trash in too long? Even when you use a bag? (OK, maybe that's just something that happens in college.) Anyway, the dryer sheet makes the odor disappear within minutes after removing the trash bag. It's great! I change it about once every 2-3 months. Honestly, I think it could go longer, but I'm just really picky about smells so I'm afraid to try.

This would be cool...I think I'll give it a try. I use the Avon skin so soft. I don't care for the scent but it works. Plus Bounce smells wonderful.
