Default Some tips for you.

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.



1. 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.



2. Put Bounce around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are

parked for a time Will keep mice from getting in.



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.

Wow is sure hope #4 really works, I'm gonna try it...although in this area it may take more than one. Something like one in each belt loop, one in each pocket and one in my hat. But if it will keep the skeeters from feasting on me I won't mind smelling like fresh linen.

After being stung by wasp and bees I read this once on the forum and I carry bounce during summer months, It also keeps the knats at bay. Thanks for the post.
