That's very true..but here are some helpful hints for you. I don't know if they work, you try them and let me know, okay? It says it is the mail carrier, it might have been the "sanitation engineers." A Good Tip 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. I use one all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use one 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! Bounce will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice. Spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers or 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. Bounce Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. It eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer) screen. Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce. Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in the closet. Put a Bounce sheet in your vacuum cleaner. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before 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 it sit overnight, then sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket. Use Bounce to 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. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It'll keep them smelling fresh. And I bet ANY fabric softener sheet would work as well!!!
