Crazy Tips for using A Dryer Sheet for other cool stuff...

By
Real Estate Agent with eRealty Inc.

Who would have known??  Dryer sheets can do all of this stuff??

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

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

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 dryer sheet, wet.

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 lose 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. 

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

Erica,

Now I'm really glad I bought 5,000 at Costco! If they work against our Jersey mosquitoes, you'll be making me the most popular person in the state.

Hi Erica ~ I have to ask - what do the bugs and mice know that we don't?
