Useful things to do with Bounce or other dryer sheets

1) Repel mosquitoes - Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

2) Eliminate static electricity from your television screen - Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.

3) Dissolve soap scum from shower doors - Clean with a used sheet of bounce.

4) Freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in the closet. (We knew this!)

5) Prevent thread from tangling - Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce to eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing.

6) Eliminate static cling from pantyhose - Rub a damp, used sheet of Bounce over the hose.

7) Prevent musty suitcases - Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

8) Freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

9) Keep the shock away - Place a sheet in your coat pocket to avoid the shock you get getting in and out of the car in the winter.

10) 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.

11) Eliminate odors in wastebaskets - Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

12) Collect cat hair - Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs. (Kewl! Who knew?)

13) Eliminate static electricity from venetian blinds - Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

14) Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering - A used sheet of Bounce will attract sawdust like a magnet.

15) Eliminate odors in dirty laundry - Place an individual sheet of Bounce the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

16) Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight so they smell great in the morning.

17) Another thing you can do with them is to hang the sheets outside your doors to keep the flies from congregating and getting in your house every time the kids open the door. You don't have to use the expensive sheets either, the no-name brand dryer sheets work well. Place them in a work shed that has no air-conditioning and is wide open and you will never have a fly.



Borrowed from Your Freebie Fix board

I put them in between folded blankets stored away to keep them smelling fresh.
Also, I clean the lent trap in the dryer with them.

Those Are All Great Ideas! I've Got A Few......

1. I Always Put One Under All Of Our Pillows So That When We Go To Bed We Get That Great Snuggle Smell!
2. Put It In All Of Our Clothes Drawers To Keep Them Smeling Like Fabric Softener.
3. Keep A Sheet Or Two In My Nieces Diaper Bag.
4. Put A Sheet In The Pockets Of Our Jackets Or Sweaters That Are Hanging In The Closet.

I've Got Quite A Few More, But These Are The Things That I Do The Most With Them.

i have also put them in the air vent of the house so when the furnace kicks on it blows out a fresh smell ;)

I always put 2 under my truck seats after I wash my truck. One on the drivers side, and one on the passenger. It makes my truck smell so good for weeks!!!

Keep a sheet in the box with stationary to make it smell nice.

Wow there are alot of suggestions here I had never heard of before. I love the ones to keep the dust from resettling. Anything that will help that I am all for hearing about. Also the one about putting in the pan with baked on food and letting it soak overnight. Wowee, maybe no more scrubbing for me, when I overcook.

Thanks for sharing these with us.

Wow....I learned so much here today haha.....the only one I knew was not even here....

Apparently mice hate them so if you leave them in the cuboards or anywhere were you might have mice....they won't stick around!

Wow! All great ideas! Thanks and God bless everyone.

So many ways to use these sheets - thanks everyone(had no idea it would collect cat hair-will def. try that!) You can also put them behind or between your sofa/chair cushions.

thanks for all the info. i used a used dryer sheet to cover the intake vents on my c
omputer, traps all the cigarette smoke. its amazing how much it can collect in a week.
i cut a sheet alittle bigger than the vent and tape it to the computer. i discomvered i can use the same tape over again a few times.

I also use dryer sheets for my hair especially in the winter it gets so dry and fly away I just rub the dryer sheet through my hair and no more static hair YEAH! ANd your hair smells great!
