Dental floss isn’t just for cleaning between your teeth! It has lots of other practical uses, both indoors and out.
In the kitchen, you can use waxed dental floss to cut perfect slices of cake, or cheese, and to lift cookies off the baking sheet. It also is a good choice for trussing a bird before baking, or sewing the bird’s cavity shut so the stuffing doesn’t fall out.
Do you go camping? Bring along dental floss in case you need to repair your tent or replace a broken shoelace. It is much stronger than thread or string.
If you have a heavy winter coat with big buttons, reattach them with dental floss. It prevents them from falling off.
Dental floss is also great for repairing torn screen doors or the mesh on playpens.
Little hands find dental floss easy to use when making necklaces or stringing beads. They slide right on the string!

About Me
- Irene Helen Zundel
- I am a freelance writer, Reiki master, and educator, with diplomas in teacher's aide and child psychology, and numerous writing courses. I home schooled my son, who was born 10 weeks early and was expected to have developmental and learning lags. In 6th grade, he took an 8th grade standardized achievement test, and scored as a college sophomore in math and English. It inspired me to write a book, which I have given away for free! It is called Make your Kid a Genius, and can be downloaded at my website http://www.irenehelenzundel.com I am passionate about alternative healing methods; especially Reiki, aromatherapy, acupressure, therapeutic massage and music and sound therapy.
