Here is a great post by Anne Rains -Bethlehem Georgia Real Estate Agent on ways to use a sheet of Bounce Fabric Softener.  Thanks, Anne

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.

  • 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.

Do the people from Bounce know this stuff?  Some of it makes sense(scents?) maybe mice don't like being static free?

Don't know the answer to that, Lyn.  Haven't seen the commercial for it yet, though, so my guess is no :-)
