My mail carrier told me that 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. Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. 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 and cars that are sitting; it keps mice from entering your vehicle.


It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often. Repels mosquitos. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during the 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 air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet. Put a 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 Bounce under the front seat.

Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, letsit overnight, and sponge clean. The abti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between food.


To be continued...(my back is hurting too much right now!!)

Here are some more...

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

Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all those 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 shet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

Eliminate odors in diry laundry. 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 foldingand storing them. Keeps them smelling fresh.

And now that U know, print and keep on file or pass it around! Or don't. (By the way, Bounce sheets are those sheets saturated with laundry sofetener.)
