Thread: 22 Uses for Dryer Sheets

U.S. 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!



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 odour 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 odours 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 odours 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.



Quick, bounce this on within the next 5 minutes! Nothing will happen if you don't, but your friends will be glad to hear these hints!

Funny - I never noticed 'little boy smells' when my kids were little.

I can pick up 'old man smell' though.

I never noticed any smell about my son either. He had a bath every day and clean clothes in the morning....no smell at all. Dirty kids smell....just like adults. That's how I see it anyway.

Well my little webelos scouts decided to have (pardon the crudeness here folks) a 'farting contest' when I was driving them around to see Christmas lights one year. I showed them ... I rolled down all the windows and it was about 17 degrees outside. Unfortunately, that punished the drive as well as the scouts! LOL

May be a dryer sheet taped to the old man's forehead will do the trick

Used dryer sheets clean mirrors and indoor glass (cabinet doors) really well. Also chrome faucets.

Ok folks don't get your panties in a knot! it was what little girls said about a van that had been full of boys that had been camping for 2 weeks. It smelled!

Do the free and clear sheets work too?
