During the tumbling of the dryer, fabric care agents are transferred from the Bounce dryer sheet to the surface of fabrics. These fabric care agents have a lubricating effect on the fabric causing fibers to feel smooth.

If your socks cling to each other and snap at you when you try to pull them apart, that's static cling. Static is known to build-up in the dryer when fabric fibers, especially synthetics, rub together generating friction. As a result of the friction between fibers, electrons are transferred across surfaces resulting in a static charge and that annoying high-pitched sound when you touch them.

Bounce works in the dryer where static happens. Softening ingredients are transferred from the Bounce dryer sheet to the surface of fabrics via heat and physical contact during the tumbling of the dryer. Lubricating fiber surfaces with Bounce fabric softener helps prevent the friction that leads to static charge. Traditionally, sheet-type fabric conditioners control static better than liquids.

Why would you? In the US, the average cost of our dryer sheets is 5¢ per sheet so you can afford to use a new sheet every time! Plus, you'll get better softening and static control when using a new sheet in every dryer load, especially since most of the fabric conditioner is used up in one use. A reused sheet will not provide nearly the great same benefit as a new one!

Bounce was developed to use in a full load of damp fabrics. Tossing a Bounce sheet in the dryer with only one wet or dry garment can lead to staining. If you've washed your blouse and want to dry it with a Bounce sheet, we suggest adding a damp bath towel to the load.

Too heavy concentration of fabric conditioner -- Single items or small loads need help distributing the fabric conditioner. Try adding a damp bath towel or other heavier weight fabric to help even it out.

Fabrics that attract fabric conditioner like certain polyesters are prone to spotting. Check your garment care tag; it may recommend "no fabric softener." If you have fabric conditioner spotting on a garment, it may be prone to spotting.

Dry loads -- Bounce was designed to be used with damp fabrics. Fabric conditioner stains are usually temporary. To remove them, rub wet fabric/stained area with a bar soap, then rewash the garment in warm water.
