Dentists tell us we should floss daily. But did you
know that dental floss has uses beyond maintaining dental hygiene? How about
when it comes to decorating? You’re laughing? Keep reading.
Years ago we all kept our family photos in those
photo albums with the sticky pages and clear plastic covers. We eventually
learned that the materials used in those albums were discoloring and destroying
our photos. If you’re like me, you began replacing all those photo albums with
ones that contained archival quality papers and adhesive tapes that didn’t
contain acids.
If you haven’t transferred your photos yet or are in
the process of doing so, you may have found that sometimes the photos are
extremely hard to remove from those albums. Pull too hard, and you risk tearing
the photo. Solution: dental floss! To separate stuck-on photos from the pages
of old albums, gently saw a piece of dental floss back and forth between the
photo and the page. This also works well for photos that have become stuck to
the glass of a picture frame.
A good quality dental floss is also the perfect go-to
for hanging lightweight frames on the wall. Wire can scratch your walls; dental
floss won’t. Tip: use a double or triple strand of floss for added strength.
Great information -- especially the tip on hanging frames. Thanks!
