BOUNCE & COCA-COLA
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 television 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 the 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 hose. 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.

Coca-Cola:
*To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet. 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: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the
rusted bolt for several 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 a sumptuous brown 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 grease stains.
*It will also clean road haze from your windshield. And...WE DRINK THIS
STUFF!
