Put one in your Featherweight case to "try" to eliminate or cover up that horrid musty smell they all seem to have.

I've also been cutting mine in half and they work just as well as a whole one. SAVES MONEY

I send each bouce sheet ( or which ever brand I bought this month) thru twice... there is still plenty of "bounce/scent/de-cling left for a second load of laundry.

Lots of ppl use the sheets for foundation pieceing.. but warn it is highly flammable. So use caution, there.

I have planted a corner of a sheet in my garden to help keep critters/pests away.. ( just plant it enough so it does not blow away.. behind a tall plant and noone can see it sticking out) sees to work well for this... after a long season, I caught a momma robin hauling it off for her nesting.. LOL.... guess it was time to plant another sheet!

Let us know if it works on the gopher, I have them in my yard as well as do my neighbors and would love it if we found something so easy to deter them.

I use the Bounce Free stuff...no fragrance...because of allergies. Do you think it would work too? Especially on mosquitoes. I wonder if its the scent or something else that repels the bugs.

I use generic and it works just as well for me!
