Tip: Dryer sheets ... for bugs


Bounce This Along to your Friends and Co-Workers


The U.S. Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers ... Put a sheet of Bounce in your uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away.

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 are not 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 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 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 odors in dirty laundry ... Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19. Deodorize shoes and 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.

Comments:


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!

Bugs have always loved Jack. I will certainly give this a try.

Quick, bounce this on within the next 5 minutes! Nothing will happen if you don't, but your friends will be glad to hear these hints!

If you have other tips for outdoor people at work or play, send us your suggestions. I will add them to "News from Jack."
