To save money don't buy Bounce - buy supermarkets own brand! same job only a lot cheaper. Good tips though. I bounce sheet in any sports kit bag is a good way of stopping it reeking before it gets home to the wash.0

Bounce sheets always put in my trainers after a workout keeps them nice and fresh, the moisture left in the trainers reacts with the sheets0

Some of the uses there I already knew but it did not occur to me to put them in my shoes. I will from now on.
They are also good for calming frizzy hair.0 -

If your skirt or trousers cling to you because of static - rub your legs with a Bounce sheet before putting them on.0

They are very good for increasing your pin money savings. Here are the steps to take:
1. Don't buy them in the first place.
2. Use vinegar as softener in the wash instead.
3. go to the supermarket & find out how much they cost.
4. Subtract the cost of a spoonful of vinegar multiplied by the number of sheets of bounce in a pack.
5. Voila! Pin money savings.

or use an old teatowel (the ones that just can't be used anymore), put a few drops of your favorite essential oil on it and slip into the dryer with the load.0
