How does it feel to have hundreds of dead bodies stuck to the front of your car? Wait, that big one is still alive!

Here's a tip I picked up recently over on the (Super Anal) Corvette forum....

Wet a used Bounce (or equivalent) dryer sheet and use it to remove bugs. Sounds a little goofy, but I guarantee once you try it you'll be rooting through your wife's laundry room trash can for these sheets...

You've got a pretty heavy infestation there for which a Belt sander may be more appropriate, but for every day use, try the dryer sheets. you'll be amazed!

k20z3 · 05-30-2009, 02:19 PM

Thats a nice trick

!Im more anal than the corvette forum I think hahahahhahahaha

I've never heard of that before. I'll go give it a shot and report back. I usually take a mid size towel, wet it, wring it out and microwave it until it's steaming, then I throw it on the front of the car and let it sit and then wipe the bugs off.

+Rep for the tip!

Bounce This Along!
The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away.
Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The insects just veer around you.

All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!
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 eli minate 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.
0D

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 bak ed-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 lose 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 c loth.

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 lovebugs off easily with the wet Bounce.

^^Nice info! Should these be used or new sheets?

Pushing_Tin · 05-30-2009, 03:19 PM

Okay I just went out and tried a used Bounce sheet. It worked really well! I just did one area so you can see the difference, took about 30 seconds.

k20z3 · 05-30-2009, 03:48 PM

nice!

dalparadise · 05-30-2009, 03:50 PM

Yikes -- you should wash the dirt off before wiping down with the Bounce sheet. That dirt will scratch wiping it dry.
