Helpful Hint of the Day! Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets Do What?????

Thx to Eddie D for this helpful hint of the Day!

Bounce This Along

U.S. 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 insects just veer around you.
All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!
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 odour 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 odours 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 odours 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 love
bugs off easily with the wet Bounce.
23. Put a sheet of Bounce in your suitcase when traveling, it
will help keep mites or any other critters out of it. While you
are at it, travel with several Bounce sheets and run them up
and down your bed linen before getting into bed, it will cause
all the critters already in your bed to run. Keep a sheet in
your suitcase even after you have unpacked to protect your
suitcases from bugs nesting in it.
