Bounce does more than soften clothes

Thought I'd share this email I recieved.

And 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.. spread them around foundation areas, or in
trailers or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering
your vehicle.

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

Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when
outdoors during mosquito season.

Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer)
screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling,
wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep
dust from resettling.

Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of
Bounce. Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce
in a drawer or hang in the closet. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum
cleaner.

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

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

Freshen the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding
and storing them. Keeps them smelling fresh.

Quick! bounce this on within the next 5 minutes!


Nothing bad will happen if you don't, but those people will be
glad you did.

Back when I played golf with my grandfather, we would keep a sheet of Bounce in our hats and it would keep the gnats out of our faces. Works very well, but only at close range.

I think I'll try this one. Though I am skeptical that it will have any impact on dust accumulation on my tv.

Thats very cool, although all the tips about it masking odor were pretty obvious and didnt really need to be said, I didnt know about its pest repelling properties.

Very cool.

Bounce even helped a friend of mine get away with smoking out in his dorm room! (This is truly a gift.)

He took an empty toilet paper roll and held a sheet of Bounce over one end while he exhaled all of his smoke into the other end. The smell of grass apparently went away like magic. Of course, I don't suppose it would effectively catch all the smoke coming from the lit end of a cigarette, so this only works when smoking out of a bong.

I had a friend that did that a few years back when he would blaze in his parents basement.

If you happen to be smoking something w/ a distintive oder....

Simply put 3-4 sheets of bounce in a cardboard roll (ie the cardboard portion of a paper toweling roll...

exhale into the cardboard pipe, breathe in that bouncy freshness....

Another thing to add to my fixit box.

1 Duct Tape
2 WD40
3 Bounce

If it moves and isn't supposed to use #1
If it doesn't move and is supposed to use #2
If 1 and 2 don't work then use #3 it may be broke but at least it won't smell, have bugs on it or be all statically.

The pro kit includes;
4 Chewed gum
5 Tie wire
6 Spit
If any one knows how to use them to fix stuff let me know and I may add them to my fixit box.
