I received these helpful tips in an e-mail and I thought my readers would find this useful as well. Who knew there were so many uses for a dryer sheet?! You'll be suprised at the variety of things a little sheet of Bounce can be used for.

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

 Mouse

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Car

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

 

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

 

  • Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe  lovebugs off easily with the wet Bounce.

 

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

 

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

 

  • 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.

 Cookies

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

 

  • Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 Kitty Cat

  • 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.

 

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

13 Comments on Handy Dandy Tips Using a Sheet of Bounce

MAY

We have 3 dogs and the vacuum used to get stinky quickly until I put a sheet of bounce in the filter-- now when I vacuum, it smells much better!

 

Also have used the bounce sheets under the seat of my car for a fresh smell!

 

Great tips! thanks for posting!

Great list and uses for the product.  Another way to use a bounce sheet to freshen a home is to place one in the air return of your air conditioner system.  It recirculates the freshened air everywhere and you get a very, very light scent.

I also heard that if you throw in a sheet or two in the dryer your clothes come out soft and smell real nice!! Only kidding Anne. This is a great list and we are going to try a few of the ideas.

Hi Anne! Truly an amazing list, I'll try some of them.  I really am interested about that baked on food thing -- I'm good at burning stuff because I'm on AR - LOL!!

Dryer sheets are great!  When I lived in a row house, I had some smoke damage from a neighboring home.  The fire fighters told me the best way to get ride of the smell was to put a dryer sheet behind every picture and behind the doors!  It worked!

Hi Anne...great tips!  I have tried it for bees and did not find it to work...darn, too!  They get very pesty here late summer/early fall.  I also agree with Mary...the baked on food tip will come in handy!

Many uses for such an inexpensive piece of material. Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess when golfing I could put one in my back pocket to help with the bees, and the nats and mosquitoes.

Hi Anne ~ I knew about a few of these, but there are so many that are new to me.  I'll have to remember to pick up of box of these next time I go to the store.

I had read these tips before and remembered the one about the bees and mosquitos.  I am going golfing later and am putting a sheet in my back pocket. We'll see.  Thanks for posting all these.
