Bounce Sheets! Used For More Than You Think.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry I didn't blog last week, but between finals week, traveling back and forth from Tallahassee to Gainesville, and my grandma's 80th birthday I literally had NO time to sit down and rest. But, finals are over and I am in Tallahassee until my departure for Rome on May 24th. Only 17 days away!! I still have much to buy before I leave...probably should start on that relatively soon. :)

Today's blog is a bit random. As my mom and I were walking Major and Macy around the neighborhood, our conversation found its way into discussing the numerous uses for Bounce sheets. To my surprise, they have countless uses! Here are a few:

1. To put in your dryer.
The most obvious use, of course is dryer sheets. Just throw one in your dryer for super soft clothes!

2. Keep bugs away.
As I was being attacked by gnats today, my mom suggested that I put a Bounce sheet on my leg. Apparently, they can also be used a bug repellant. They can be tucked in any outdoor furniture and will then keep any unwanted bugs away! Hooray for no bugs.

3. Freshen your pets.
Rub your pets down with a Bounce sheet after a hard play time in the yard to keep them from stinking up the house! This is, of course, assuming they let you.

4. Scrubs the bug from your car.
Feel free to take a Bounce sheet and scrub those dead bugs off the grill of your car. In Florida, love bugs are our biggest pest! In addition to removing the dead bugs, your car will smell nice and fresh...if you get up really close ;)

5. Soaking cookware.
Soak your cookware with sticky and burnt food in warm water with a Bounce sheet or two and clean up is a breeze!

6. Rodent repellant. 
For those of you with rodent problems, placing a Bounce sheet or two in your basement (Northerners) will actually function as a repellant to those unwanted guests.

7. Sewing.
Store your needles and thread in the grooves of a Bounce sheet to keep items from tangling. Genius!

8. Pet hair collector.
Now this is fantastic. For all of you with dogs that shed, take a Bounce sheet and wipe along surfaces with hair and the Bounce sheet will act as somewhat of a vacuum. Have to try this!

9. Reduce static.
Bounce sheets, if rubbed on clothes, will reduce any possible static cling you might experience throughout the day.

10. Dusting.
Lastly, in lieu of using a cloth and Pledge, fabric softener sheets can be used as a dusting device.


It's time all you guys went to Publix and picked up a good stock of Bounce sheets (or your favorite brand of fabric softener sheets). You never know when you might need them!!
