You love that Bounce® freshness after your wash is done, kind of like the fresh spring air after a rain. Well, you can spread a little Bounce all through your house for a lingering fresh scent all week long. It's also a great way to freshen the house for the holidays or when guests are coming.

These are just a few tips for using Bounce® beyond the dryer, courtesy of the manufacturer:
  • Keep a Bounce fabric-softener sheet in the pillow case and under the mattress or mattress pad of the guest bedroom for sweeter dreams.
  • Stick a Bounce dryer sheet in the linen closet to help keep linens smelling fresh day after day.
  • Or put a sheet in between the towels after the laundry so they will keep the linen closet and the towels smelling wonderful for your guests.
  • Dust your window blinds with a Bounce dryer sheet. The dust will cling to the sheet and will help to repel new dust from settling.
  • Roll up a sheet of Bounce in your toilet paper roll. Each time you spin, it releases a little freshness into the bathroom.
  • Put a sheet in the garbage can to tackle odors.
  • When vacuuming, add a sheet of Bounce in the vacuum cleaner bag for sweeter-smelling sweeping.
You can find more great tips for using Bounce at www.bounceeverywhere.com.

I should add that if your family or guests have allergies or a problem with strong scents, you may want to cut the Bounce sheets in half for just a 'hint' of freshness, or minimize use altogether by placing a part sheet only in the most 'scent-needed' area.
