Uses for Dryer Sheets

The following information came via a forward from Martin's aunt.  I have not heard of (or tested) 

many of these ideas.  As always, procede with your best judgement!

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.
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 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 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 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.
