Here is a tip that will help us take care of our boats, ourselves and a lot of our other stuff. It is the use of the product Bounce! ThatÂs right .those little sheets that you put in your clothes dryer to make your clothes smell better. Well bounce will do much more than just make your clothes smell clean. Check out the list below. I have tried most of these tips and found them to be right on the money.
Bounce will do the following:
Put in your pocket to keep Yellow Jackets away.
It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. (Great for your boat)
It also repels mice; place several sheets in your boats rod lockers etc., Can also be used around foundation areas, or in trailers or even cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering those areas. (Another one that is great for the boat)
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. (This really works!!)
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 o overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static 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.
This is one awesome product!!! If nothing else try it in your boat compartments during the winter. You will be amazed at how good your livewells, rod lockers and other compartments will smell.![]()
