(NAPSI)-On average, people put more than five loads of laundry in the dryer each week. Many of those loads contain dryer sheets, used to control static and infuse the clothes with a light scent. Dryer sheets, however, are increasingly making their way out of the laundry room and into other parts of the home.

For example, home researchers at Procter & Gamble recommend using dryer sheets:

• in the linen closet to help keep linens smelling fresh day after day;

• in shoes to help give odors the boot;

• in the gym bag to give odors a workout;

• in dresser drawers for fresher sweaters, lingerie and socks;

• behind curtains to help freshen the whole kitchen;

• in the diaper bin to give it a clean, fresh scent.

These are all great, useful ideas, and by logging on to www. BounceEverywhere.com, you can find a remarkable collection of additional dryer sheet uses with some very surprising benefits. In addition to the tips recommended by P&G, the following is just a small collection of ideas suggested by consumers like you across the country:

• Got a white streak on your clothes from your deodorant? Just take a used Bounce sheet and wipe it lightly across to remove the stain.

• Put a dryer sheet in the air conditioning vent-it will make the whole house smell fresh and clean.

• Use Bounce in the shower to clean pesky soap scum. Just wet the sheet, rub and rinse. It breaks up the soap scum on glass doors and leaves them sparkling.

• When putting clothes away for the season, put a fabric sheet or two in the storage bag/container for freshness next season.

• Clean away stubborn food. Put a Bounce sheet in the pan and let it soak overnight.
