"Bounce"........

1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.. It also repels mice.

2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.

3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.

4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.

6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling..

7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.

8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.

12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.

13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan..

14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.

15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.

16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds.. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.

18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.

20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.

21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

22. Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe love bugs off easily with the wet Bounce.

and also supposed to keep wasps away.

How toxic is it to bees? How toxic are you to bees if you've been doing all these other things with it?
Does Tes**'s cheap imitation do the same?
Nah, thought not!
Now if it scared off rats I would be Really impressed!
 
Amonia, chlorine bleach etc. all domestic products and toxic?

Why would those products be in something that is basically a deodorant?

A swimming pool perhaps.

The idea is that the bees wasps etc. smell the sheets and go away, you arent going to feed it to them.

Its just the same as clothes washed with softener added.

fabric conditioner/softener contains formaldehyde (formalin) which we use to preserve human tissue. It does that by permanently crosslinking proteins. Obviously it is a toxic substances (causes irreversible lung damage and skin irritation - cf some of the chinese sofas that have been casing problems). Labs handling it need efficient ventilation/extraction systems.

nice...

:eek::eek:
All that formalin I breathed in at Uni dissection classes.
It's a wonder I'm still alive :rolleyes:
(Actually it's a serious matter, we used to boil benzene in Chemistry at school and I had a summer job at Lone Star toys where all the metalwork was degreased in huge vats of trichloroethylene. We used to wander around in a daze)
 
Formalin,smelly stuff,also used for treating the feet of sheep,and very good for preserving deer antlers when they are still in velvet.
 
as a young man my grandfather used to chuck fist sized lumps of sodium into the Thames at the Isle of Dogs - no wonder salmon were absent from the river until relatively recently!!!!
