things to do with Bounce dryer sheets

[binny]

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 or 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 anti-static 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.

Wow Binny ~ all those suggestions are pretty amazing!

You can also place them in your registers as air freshners for the house. It is challenging but can be done

I keep one in my coat pocket for when my hair has static.

Something NOT to do with Bounce or (any other dryer sheet for that matter) if you have pets, especially cats...Leave them in the laundry basket.

My cats (especially the younger one) has a talent for sniffing them out and eating them. Yes and then the fun starts when she barfs it back up. My friends cats do the same thing as does my brother's dog and SIL's dog.

Just another helpful hint, although not as good as the ones binny posted.

ANother good one for all you crafters:

They are great for cleaning glue guns.

Heat the gun - double fold the sheet to protect fingers. While it is cooling down wipe with the sheet, it removes glue and debris. As a bonus it coats the gun and makes sunsequent clean ups easier.
