Tips & Tricks

Bounce
        This Along

       


U.S. 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 insects just veer around you.

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

1.
       
It will chase
        ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.

2.
       
Spread sheets
        around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it
        keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

3.
It takes the
        odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too
        often.

       

4.
       
It repels
        mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors
        during mosquito season.

5.
Eliminate
        static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.

6.
       
Since Bounce
        is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen
        with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling..

7.
       
Dissolve soap
        scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

8.
       
To freshen the
        air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or
        hang in the closet.

9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum
        cleaner.

10.
Prevent thread
        from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before
        beginning to sew.

11.
Prevent musty
        suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage
        before storing.

       

12.       
To freshen the
        air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front
        seat.

13.
Clean baked-on
        foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit
        overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens
        the bond between the food and the pan..

14.
Eliminate
        odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the
        wastebasket.

       

15.
       
Collect cat
        hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract
        all the loose hairs.

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

17.
Wipe up
        sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will
        collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

18.
Eliminate
        odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the
        bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19.
Deodorize
        shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers
        overnight.

       

20.
       
Golfers put a
        Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.

21.
       
Put a Bounce
        sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It
        will keep them smelling fresh.

22.
Wet a Bounce
        sheet, hose down your car, and wipe love bugs off easily with the wet
        Bounce.

Quick, bounce this on
        within the next 5 minutes! Nothing will happen if you don't, but your
        friends will be glad to hear these hints!
