Title: uses for a sheet of bounce tumble dryer sheets
Post by: scattybiker1972 on July 07, 2010, 10:47:58 pm
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.

I was going to say that all we need now is Bounce and WD40.

I also heard that a true diy toolbox only has two items in it.

1/ WD40 - Gets things moving that are stuck. And

2/ Gaffer Tape - Keeps things together, that are moving..........

I really should buy some, I had read that they are good for repelling Midgies, should tie them to my horses of a night!! Might work, have heard of people hacking out with a bounce sheet attached to bridles....hmmmmmm, wheres the shopping list!!

For getting rid of midgies you can't beat Avon's skin so soft body oil - works a treat ;)

CRAFTERS - another use for the bounce sheets is when heat embossing. Wipe the sheet over your paper before you stamp and apply the powder, it stops the powder sticking where you don't want it to.  ;D

Forever Living Aloe Vera gels, creams and lotions are great for your skin when midgies are about.  Insects, nits, midgies etc don't like Aloe.

A shameless plug here!!  www.createyourfuture.co.uk, my online store is on there.

How did we get from Bounce to internet dating - I wouldn't know where to start. And anyway, I need a man who will put up with 5 dogs, help me exercise them(although that isn't so much of a problem now), look after them when I want to go away, drive me to dog shows down in England, like my kids, like my grand kids, be financially self sufficient with a bit left over to spoil me, good looking, and kind hearted.  How do you find that on the internet?

Don't know if you can remember the" Potato Marketing Board" They would buy up whole pies and come with 5 gallon drums of Purple Dye and pour it all along the top of the pie so it ran in and turned most of the tatties purple coloured.No it was not poisonous it made them so they were only fit for stock feed or dumping though. You were not supposed to sell them even to your mate they had paid you for them. ???Purple hands brought it all back Mick ;D
