Once someone forwarded a list to me about all the ways you could use a bounce fabric softner sheet.
1. Repel mosquitoes with a dryer sheet. Simply tie a sheet to a belt loop to protect you as you go for a walk. If you are sitting out on your patio, hang a sheet or two outside in the general area and the mosquitoes will leave you alone.
2. Using used dryer sheets to dust has long been a favorite use for many housewives. They will dust off many surfaces including: furniture, walls, blinds, baseboard and molding.
3. Besides mosquitoes, dryer sheets repel ants and bees. Laying dryer sheets around the area you want to protect will repel these bugs. Laying strips of dryer sheets along the windowsill will keep ants from crawling in. Rubbing a dryer sheet on your skin will keep bugs from landing on and stinging or biting you.
4. Tuck a dryer sheet in your drawers and closets to keep that just washed aroma. They also work in your hamper to prevent any unwashed clothing odor from escaping into your room.
5. Dryer sheets are great for eliminating static electricity from your computer or television screen. Wiping your screen with a dryer sheet will also keep the dust from settling on them as quickly.
6. Clean your shower doors with a dryer sheet. All you have to do is wet a used dryer sheet and scrub to remove the soap build up and mineral deposits.
7. They are also great for cleaning pots and pans with burnt on food. Soak your pan with a dryer sheet overnight. The nest morning wash and enjoy.
8. Soak your used paintbrushes in warm water with a dryer sheet and the paint will come off like magic.
9. To rid your shoes of that stinky smell, place a dryer sheet in each shoe overnight.
10. To keep your thread from tangling, run your needle and thread through a dryer sheet.
11. To freshen the air in your home, place a dryer sheet in your vacuum cleaner while vacuuming and in your air vents. Either way the fresh smell of the fabric softner will permeate your home making it smell fresh and clean.
12. Dryer sheets are super at picking up pet hair. To remove your pets hair from furniture rub sheet across furniture.
13. To cut down on that doggy smell, rub your dog with a dryer sheet to make them smell fresher.
14. Keep a dryer sheet in your pillowcase and under your matress to freshen your room.
15. A crafty idea for your dryer sheets - use them to add texture to homemade cards and scrapbooking. You can also use them to reinforce applique and quilting work.
Here is a LINK showing you how to use them on cards, there is a entire gallery set up so check it out.
Well here is something I figured out all on my own! My butterflies were sticking in my Beautiful Wings embosslits Die....So I used a bounce fabric softner sheet folded up, and sent it through the big shot. Not only do my butterflies fall right out now but look how pretty these babies are, and the card SMELLS GOOD TOO, it's Outdoor Fresh! LOL
So there you have it, my new techniqe, Bounce Butterflies. Taaaah Daaaaah!
