BOUNCE

And all this time I've just been putting Bounce in the dryer.


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

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

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

4. Eliminates static electricity from your television 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.

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

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

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

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

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

10. 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 .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One major thing not listed. When you are washing your vehicle or your rv, take a couple of sheets of bounce and get them wet and use them to wash the front of the vehicles. It will take the toughest bugs off, even the Florida love bugs come right off with no problem. It sure makes it a lot easier to keep the Montana front clean.

Thanks for the good tips. We are having an ant invasion right now so I'm going to try it.

We used to get mice in our units. We park next to a large barn in the storage section of our developement. We have not had an invasion of mice since we started putting Fresh Bounce in each of our outside compartments. Also the spiders stay away!

I didn't see anything about mice! I was told it helps keep mice out of your camper...they don't like the smell. we used it last year...and no problems. we will do it again...hopefully it wasn't just a coincidence....the camper smelled real nice in the spring too!

Anybody know if this also works with the fragrance-free dryer sheets? Or is it the fragrance that drives them away? Vicki says our are fragrance free so if that won't work I'll want to get a box of the smelly ones.

Cool lists! We are remodeling our master bedroom (getting it ready to sell) and are painting the doors and trim, I tried a softener sheet we had, (wasn't bounce though) and it worked great as a tack cloth and it took that ucky paint smell from the rags in the trash away. Thanks for the tip.

Bounce does the trick on ants in our experience and you can still use the sheets in the laundry at a later date.
