Put the Bounce back into your life.

The many uses of Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets

Repel Mosquitoes
Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when
outdoors during mosquito season. (I do this when I'm out at night
fishing and it does work)

Eliminate static electricity from your television 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 used sheet of Bounce.

Freshen the Air In Your Home
Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer
or hang one in the closet.

Prevent Thread From Tangling
Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce to
eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing.

Eliminate Static Cling From Pantyhose
Rub a damp, used sheet of Bounce over the hose.

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 Food From a Cooking Pan
Put a sheet in the pan, fill with water, let sit
overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agents apparently
weaken the bond between the food and the pan
while the fabric softening agents soften the baked-on 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
(Attention GUYS!)
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 so they'll smell great in the morning.

Use a sheet to wipe out ashtrays after using to
eliminate musky cig. odors....

When washing the car, after hosing it down, wipe the
Buggy &/or Tar areas with a Wet used Bounce sheet.

Easy cleaning!!
