We had a laundry discussion a while back and it prompted me to think..".the best way to find new ideas it to exchange them." So here goes, a few nifty ideas for fabric softener sheets...I don't know where I got it from, however I know that I've used it often. Looking forward to all of yours
Bounce This Around!
Great Tip....Who woulda thought? 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.
And now that you know, print and keep on file or
pass it around!
