    "Bounce" This Tip Around....It Will Help You in Many Different Situations

    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! That’s 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.

    One other thing it does, and almost the most valuable thing I have found for it. for those of us who have to fight with love bugs, wet the front of your truck and wash it with one bounty sheet. One sheet has almost enough soap in it to wash your whole car, and the softener agent in it (I guess) will totally loosen up the bugs on your auto. Simply wipe on well (not scrub...no need) and wash off. Bugs will come off like magic!!!

    I spent a year working in South Carolina, we used to put dryer sheets in our hard hats to keep the "pecker nats" away from our face and ears. They worked good just had to replace them every couple of weeks.

    Tried this tip about month ago to jeep the ants out of the boat, it's worked great so far . I put one sheet on the bow next to the trolling motor and one near the transom and voila, no 'lil critters.
