BOUNCE...the stuff you use in your dryer:
Repels
mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
Eliminates 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.
Dissolves soap scum from shower doors. Clean
with a used sheet of Bounce.
Freshens the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer
or hang one in the closet.

eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing.

used sheet of Bounce over the hose.

before storing.
Freshens the air in your car. Place a sheet o of Bounce under the front seat.
Cleans 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.
Eliminates odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
Collects
cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
