Bounce this around!


The US Postal service sent out a message
to all letter carriers to put a sheet of
Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep
yellow jackets away. The yellow jackets
just veer around you. 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 tv 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.

A 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.

And now that you know, print and
keep on file or bounce (pass) it
around. :-)

Cool, thanks for sharing that! I knew a couple, like the fact that you can use it to wipe across your stairs to collect cat hair.

Ya know, this post may be considered a "helpful hint", we have a section for those too.
