20 uses for Bounce dryer sheets
 
>> 1. 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 and yellow jackets.
>>
>> 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 d oors. 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 we akens 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

I LOVE Bounce Sheets and will put way to many in the drayer because I love how the smell.

** I also use them on my hair when it is static-y, and it works wonders**

But, I HAD NO IDEA that it did all those other things. I am going to start using the list. DH will love it for the misquito factor when he is golfing.
