Other uses for dental floss

As you know, dental floss does a great job at cleaning your teeth, but did you know there are lots of uses for it around the house too.

* If you don't have a cheese slicer, wrap a length of dental floss around your fingers and slice right through that cheese! (This same concept works well for cheesecakes too!) (Hint: Make sure the floss is plain and not flavored.)

* Use it to tie back the legs on your next turkey dinner

* If your child's backpack gets a tear in it, thread some floss onto a needle with a large eye. Use that to sew up the hole. It's sturdier than regular thread and will hold up to the use.

*Try some dental floss and a soft cloth to clean the crevices in your wood furniture. The floss will get the cloth right where it needs to be.

if you need to slice a cake in half to make layers, you can use floss to do that as well. it always works wel to slice cookie dough so you don't end up with a flat side.
