Bounce this Along

The US 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.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!

  • It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.
  • Spread sheets 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.
  • It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
  • Eliminate 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.

  • To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

  • To 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 and the pan.
  • 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 lose hairs.
  • Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

  • Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.
  • Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe love bugs off easily with the wet Bounce.
