2. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get
opened
too often.
3. Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when
outdoors during mosquito season.
4. Eliminates static electricity from your television screen. Since
Bounce
is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television
screen

5. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of
Bounce.
6. Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce

of
Bounce before beginning to sew.

front seat.
10. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan,

agent
apparently weakens 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.

blinds
with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
