| Bounce this around!
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. The yellow jackets just veer 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.

screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling,
wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep

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

empty lu! ggage be fore storing.
Freshen the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the
front seat.
Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan,
fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static
agent apparently weakens the bond between the food.
Eliminate odors in wastebaskets.. Place a sheet of Bounce at the
bottom of the wastebasket.
Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will
magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds
with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of
Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
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.
Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees
away.

and storing them. Keeps them smelling fresh.

Þ When you go to buy bread in the grocery
store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze"
for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered
fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.
They are:
Monday = Blue
Tuesday = Green
Thursday = Red
Friday = White (White)
Saturday = Yellow
So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist
tie; not white, which is Fridays (almost a week old!). The colors
go alphabetically by color: Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow,
Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember.
I thought this was interesting. I looked in the
grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties,
and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors.
You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy
bread with the right color on the day you are shopping
1) Flies or bees bothering you? Spray them with
hairspray and they will take a quick dive.

for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope
can then be resealed. (Hmmm...)
3) Use empty toilet paper roll to store appliance
cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance
it belongs to.
4) For icy doorsteps in freezing temperatures: get
warm water and put Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over
the steps. They won't refreeze.
5) Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully!
A damp rag dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow
grease that is)!
6) Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like
store receipt BLUE)! Rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
7) Whenever I buy a box of SOS Pads, I immediately
take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years
of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally
decided that this would be much more economical. And now a box of
SOS pads lasts me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the
scissors get sharpened this way!
