• Jul. 29, 2005 - Simple Solutions.........

 

I received this from a dear friend. I thought this is worth sharing. I know my sister-in-law has used Bounce, to keep mosquitoes away for the past few years. She says it works GREAT! 
 
Who would have thought? What a simple solution!

 

Below is the forward:

My mail carrier told me that 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 yellow jackets just veer around
 you. And 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 them around foundation areas, or in
 trailers, 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.
 
 Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when
 outdoors during mosquito season.

 Eliminates 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.
 
 Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

 Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a
 drawer or hang in the closet.
 
 Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.
 
Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through sheet of
 Bounce before beginning to sew.
 
 Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside
 empty luggage before storing.
 
 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 antistatic agent
 apparently weakens the bond between the food.
 
 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 loose hairs.
 
 Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with
a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
 
 Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce
 will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
 
 Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at
 the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
 
 Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or
 sneakers overnight.

 Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.
 
Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and
 storing them. Keeps them smelling fresh.

 

Let me know if any of you all have tried any of these. I am interested how they have worked for you and your family. I am excited to hear from you all!!!

Blessings!!
