Tips For Using Bounce and Coke
BOUNCE...the stuff you use in your dryer:
Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt
loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
Eliminates static electricity from your television
screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static
cling, wipe your TV screen with a used sheet of Bounce to
keep dust from resettling.
Dissolves soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a used
sheet of Bounce.
Freshens the air in your home. Place an individual sheet
of Bounce in a drawer or hang one in a closet.
Prevents thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle
through a sheet of Bounce to eliminate the static cling
on the thread before sewing.
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, sponge clean. The antistatic
agents apparently weaken the bond between food and the
pan while the fabric softening agents
soften the baked-on food.
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.
Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust
from resettling.
Wipes up sawdust from drilling or sandpapering. A used
sheet of Bounce
will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
Eliminates odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual
sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
Deodorizes shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in
your shoes or sneakers
overnight so they'll smell great in the morning.
COCA COLA:
To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the
toilet bowl. Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then
flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from
vitreous china.
To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the
bumper with a crumpled-up
piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca
Cola.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a
can of Coca-Cola over the
terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-
Cola to the rusted bolt for a few minutes.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola 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
sumptuous gravy.
To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a
load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a
regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen the stain.
It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
