Thought I would pass on these tips:

Did you know all these wonderful things a "Bounce sheet" can do?

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 a 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.

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.

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

15) Eliminate odors in dirty laundry - Place an individual sheet of Bounce
at 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.
