Things to do with BOUNCE...the stuff you use in your dryer:
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 seat.
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 sand papering. 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.
Things to do with Coca-Cola:
To clean a toilet: 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: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted
bolt for several minutes.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the
ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished,
remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown
gravy.
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.
