    Bounce this around

    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-jack ets away.

    Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you.



    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.

    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.

    Scented or un-scented?

    know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do

    Ummm if it's so potent that mice and even insects are smart enough to avoid it, why do I want it on/in my clothes?

    *Cram one down the filler neck in your car's fuel tank and increase gas mileage by 430%.
    *Tape ten sheets across both of your car's bumpers to prevent accidents--it repels other vehicles.
    *Put a sheet in your dishwasher and your plates will be wrinkle-free.
    *A sheet or two in the bottom of your computer case will prevent BSODs and corrupted files.

    I haven't seen a difference in gas mileage yet, but I haven't had an accident since 1985, none of my dishes have wrinkles and my computer works perfectly.

    Now I'm off to pick up my car from the garage, apparently I had a blocked fuel line.

    I got it in an email. So I can't verify to many of the things. But I thought it rather interesting. Glad you all liked it.
