Although traditionally floss is utilized to clean between teeth, there are many other useful applications for this durable thread. I've listed a few below:
1. Fishing line - the tough fiber of the floss is resistant to breaking
2. String popcorn for Holiday decorations
3. Reattach a broken bra strap
4. A belt for pants in a pinch
5. Silence a leaky faucet - tie a string around the top and the water drops will follow the floss to the sink, eliminating the annoying drip sound
6. Support climbing plants - use floss to tie the plant to the trellis
7. Cut soft cheese or cake - be sure to use the unflavored floss!
8. Make homemade jewelry
9. Use it as a hair tie - if you don't have a rubber band, floss makes a great hair tie in an emergency
10. Improvised ruler - measure out 12 inches of floss for a handy and flexible ruler
Of course, the best use for floss is including it daily in your oral health routine but these are a few reasons it might be handy to keep floss around the house. For more fun uses for floss, follow the link below!
