Are these claims true? (Just sent to me)

  BOUNCE DRYER SHEETS

And all this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!

It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.

It also repels mice.. spread them around foundation areas,
or in trailers  cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from
entering your vehicle.

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

Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop
when outdoors during mosquito season.

Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer)
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.

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

Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of
Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.

Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.

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

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

Freshen the air in your car. Place ! a sheet of Bounce under
the front
seat.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and
storing them. Keeps them smelling fresh.

And now...you know. Print and keep on file or pass it around !!

  Yeah, right... and we should just dump boxes of baking soda down
the sink to... uhh, freshen the drain.  Yeah, that's the ticket.  And
open a box and leave it in the refrigerator for 3 months, then throw
it away and put another one in there.

"Use bounce as an escape rope by tying sheets together and lowering
them from the prison roof."

I'll vouch for Bounce removing odors from old books and I'll vouch
for it chasing away ants. I've already used it for such. It also
makes a good air freshener, and keeps clothes in a closet smelling
better.

 In the South, we have some mean gnats.  The gnats will leave you alon if
you rub bounce on your skin.

 
Removing or simply making them smell like Bounce?


Hell, it smells strong enough to chase people away so I'm
not surprised it repells ants.


Why did they smell bad ib the first place?
