Liz’s rant: Bouncin’ around

Who knew there were a bazillion and three uses for Bounce dryer sheets? Not me. Now I did know of a few – like sticking one in a drawer or closet to keep it smelling fresh. But I mean beyond the obvious. So I thought I’d rant about the other uses for Bounce – as in the uses I didn’t know about. So without further ado…

• Take the odor out of books and photo albums that aren’t typically opened.
• Chase away ant or mice. Just place a sheet near them.
• Repel mosquitoes by tying a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop.
• Wipe your TV or computer screen with a sheet of Bounce to eliminate static electricity and keep dust from resettling on the surface.
• Clean shower doors with Bounce to dissolve soap scum. (who knew…)
• Prevent tangled thread by running a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before sewing.
• Use the dryer sheet to clean baked-on foods from pans. Place sheet in pan, fill with water, let sit overnight and sponge clean.
• Collect cat hair by rubbing the area with Bounce, which magnetically attracts stray hairs.
• Use in place of a tack cloth to wipe up sawdust from drilling, cutting or sand-papering.
• Put a sheet of Bounce in a pocket to repel yellow jackets and bees. (the bees know…)
• Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car and easily wipe off bugs.

And now you know…
