My uncle, a PhD, forwarded this email about amazing ways to use Bounce dryer sheets―so it must be true, right?
Seriously, a friend of mine swears by Bounce as a bug repellent. So put a few sheets of Bounce on your summer picnic list. If nothing else, you’ll smell springtime fresh.
Bounce facts
» 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.
» Give them to your kids when they’re playing baseball and soccer, or use them when golfing. The yellow jackets will just fly around you. And all this time you’ve just been putting Bounce in the dryer!
» It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.
» It also repels mice.. spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers, cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
» It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don’t get opened too often.
» Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season
