[Mb-hair] Useful stuff maybe ...

[fotoblue at flash.net]

Hi Gerald,
 have you thought about WHY all those bees and other insects and MICE!! 
stay away form BOUNCE??
 There probably is a good reason. and that is that it's NOT too healthy.
There probably is some poisonous stuff in there. 
I don't have proof, of course, i'm just thinking out loud.

But for letter carriers and uniforms it sounds like a great idea.
Just don't get carried (pun pun!) away with all the other uses.

 I personally hate the smell of Bounce. Maybe I was an insect in another
life??

I would NEVER use it in anything containing food! and I don't use it in my
clothes 
dryer because I  cannot wear anything that has been permeated with that
odor.
makes me sneeze.

 Some of the listed uses are probably OK, 
but maybe conventional cleaning and washing clothes (and airing sneakers!!) 
will work better than enveloping yourself and your whole house in the
bouncy smell.

An alternate 'smelly" solution for keeping a fresh scent in closets etc is
cedar wood 
chips. or lavender blossoms, dried. 
 I have not tried playing sports with a bit in the back pocket. 
who knows...
 let me know if anybody has experimented with that.

Dagmar

Bounce this around!
 
Great Tip....Who woulda thought?

 
1.  My mail carrier told me that the US Postal service
sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a
sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep
yellow jackets away.

 
Use them all the time when playing baseball and
soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really
works. The yellow jackets just veer around you. And
all this time you've! just been putting Bounce in the
dryer!

 
2.  It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near
them.

 
3.  It also repels mice. Spread them around foundation
areas, or in trailers, cars that are sitting and it
keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

 
4.  It takes the odor out of books and photo albums
that don't get opened too often.

 
5.  Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a
belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

 
6.  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.

 
7.  Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a
sheet of Bounce.

 
8.  Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual
sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

 
9.  Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

 
10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded
needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to
sew.

 
11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet
of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

 
12. Freshen the air in your car. Place a sheet of
Bounce under the front seat.

 
13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a
sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight,
and sponge clean. The antistatic agent apparently
weakens the bond between the food.

 
14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets.. Place a sheet of
Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

 
15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of
Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

 
16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds.
Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust
from resettling.

 
17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A
used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack
cloth.

 
18. 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.

 
19. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to
keep the bees away.

 
20. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent
before folding and storing them. Keeps them smelling
fresh.
