BOUNCE...the stuff you use in your dryer: • IT............. Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. • Eliminates 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. • Dissolves soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a used sheet of Bounce. • Freshens the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in the closet. • Prevents thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce to eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing. • Eliminates static cling from pantyhose. Rub a damp, used sheet of Bounce over the hose. • Prevents musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing. • Freshens the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front sea • Cleans 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. • Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket. Collects cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs. • Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling. • Wipes up sawdust from drilling or sandpapering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth. • Eliminates odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper • Deodorizes shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight so they'll smell great in the morning. COCA COLA • Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl, Let the "real thing"sit for one hour, then flush clean • The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china. • To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca Cola. • To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. • To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. • To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. • It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
