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.

 

Eliminates odors in wastebaskets. 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.

Eliminates static electricity from venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resetting.

 

Deodorizes shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight so they'll smell great in the morning.

To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coke 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.
