My Aunt sent me an email about the many uses for bounce dryer sheets, I'd like to share some of these...
-They will keep yellow jackets away.
-Lay a sheet near ants and they'll stay away.
-They take the odor out of books and photo albums that smell musty or smokey. (I've gotten books that I purchased from ebay with sheets tucked between the pages).
-It repels mosquitoes! This one I use a lot now, when I go to my son's soccer practice, I cut one into pieces and tuck them into my socks, and I put them in my purse and in the cup holder on my chair, it's amazing how everyone else is swatting them and getting bitten, they're are none around me, and they LOVE to bite me, I have the scars to prove it, but not this season.
-Clean the soap scum from shower doors.
-To freshen the air in your house, put one in drawers, hang them in the closet, put one in your vacuum cleaner.
-prevent thread from tangling, run a threaded needle through a sheet before you begin to sew.
-prevent musty suitcases, place a sheet inside of empty luggage before storing.
-Place one under the seats in your car to freshen the air.
-Eliminate odors in wastebaskets, place a sheet of bounce at the bottom of the waste basket, before you put the bag in.
-Collect cat hairs by rubbing the area with a sheet of bounce will attract the lose hairs.
-keeps dust off of Venetian blinds it will keep dust from resettling.
-deodorize shoes or sneakers, just place a sheet of bounce in each shoe over night.
-keeps sleeping bags fresh and from smelling musty by placing one inside before rolling it up to store.
Have you ever tried any of these? If not, I hope you will find these tips helpful. Have a great day!

These are great useful tips. Thanks for sharing. I have known a few of these, but you have added more for me. I like the one about repelling the mosquitoes. I have got to try that one next year. I am like you, if I am outside for 5 seconds, I'll get 5 bites on my body. I am a magnet for mosquitoes. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
