**Wendy's Helpful Hint of the week**
Did you know all these wonderful things a "Bounce dryer sheet" can do? Or any dryer sheet for that matter...
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 damp, used sheet of Bounce over 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 to prevent dust from resettling.
14. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry: Place an individual sheet at the bottom of a hamper.
15. Deodorize shoes or sneakers: Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight so they smell great in the morning.
