Helpful Hints
Occasionally I receive
some good helpful hints in my email. So I thought I'd share a few of those that are worth passing along.
Bounce Fabric Sheets
(many uses)
1. Chases bees, mosquitoes and ants away
– Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop or stick
one in a pocket when outdoors. It will also chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.
2. Freshens
and prevents musty odors - Place a sheet of Bounce inside old books or empty luggage.
3. Freshens the
air in your home or car - Place
a sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet. Place one under the front seat of your car, too.
4. Eliminates
odors in wastebaskets and dirty laundry -
Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket and
in your hamper or laundry bag.
5. Deodorizes
shoes or sneakers - Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes overnight.
6. Eliminates
static electricity from blinds and the TV screen - Wipe your Venetian blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling. Wipe the TV screen with
a used sheet to repel further dust.
7. Prevents
thread from tangling - Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
8. Collects
pet hairs and sawdust - Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract loose hairs, sawdust, etc.
9. Dissolves soap scum from shower
doors - Clean them with a sheet
of Bounce.
10. Cleans baked-on
foods from a cooking pan - Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The antistatic agent apparently
weakens the bond between the food and the pan.
Bread Ties
When you go to buy bread at the grocery store have you ever wondered
which bread is the freshest? Here's how you can tell without squeezing it. Bread is delivered fresh five days
a week - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Each day has a different color tie, and the colors go alphabetically.
Monday: Blue
Tuesday: Green
Thursday: Red
Friday: White
Saturday:
Yellow
