>Did you know all these wonderful things a "Bounce sheet" can do?
>1) Repel mosquitoes - Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop
>when outdoors during mosquito season.
>2) Eliminate static electricity from your television 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.
>3) Dissolve soap scum from shower doors - Clean with a used
>sheet of bounce.
>4) Freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of
>Bounce in a drawer or hang one in the closet.
>5) Prevent thread from tangling - Run a threaded needle through a
>sheet of Bounce to eliminate the static cling on the thread before
>sewing.
>6) Eliminate static cling from panty hose - Rub a damp, used sheet
>of Bounce over the hose.
>7) Prevent musty suitcases - Place an individual sheet of Bounce
>inside empty luggage before storing.
>8) Freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the
>front seat.
>9) Keep the shock away - Place a sheet in your coat pocket to
>avoid the shock you get getting in and out of the car in the winter.
>10) Clean baked-on food from a cooking pan - Put a sheet in the pan,
>fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The antistatic
>agents apparently weaken the bond between the food and the pan,
>while the fabric softening agents soften the baked-on food.
>11) Eliminate odors in wastebaskets - Place a sheet of Bounce at the
>bottom of the wastebasket.
>12) Collect cat hair - Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will
>magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
>13) Eliminate static electricity from venetian blinds - Wipe the blinds
>with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
>14) Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sandpapering - A used sheet of
>Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
>15) Eliminate odors in dirty laundry - Place an individual sheet of
>Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
>16) Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your
>shoes or sneakers overnight so they smell great in the morning.
>17) Another thing you can do with them is to hang the sheets outside
>your doors to keep the flies from congregating and getting in your house
>every time the kids open the door. You don't have to use the expensive
>sheets either, the no-name brand dryer sheets work well. Place them in a
>work shed that has no air-conditioning and is wide open and you will
>never
>have a fly.
>18) Another thing is removing the static electricity from your hair in
>the
>winter.
