Do you recycle your dental floss?
I don't like to throw away my used dental floss. I rinse it and hang it on my toothbrush. I had many room mates did that too when we were in Undergrad. But for the last 33 years, my wife keeps throwing my slightly used dental floss in the trash. She says it is gross. What is wrong with this woman? Does she know recycling is in NOW?  Jul 22 14 09:02 am Link I use a new toothbrush every day. Jul 22 14 09:15 am Link I just throw it away. They give you like 1 million at each visit. Jul 22 14 09:20 am Link A) Even microscopic food particles are like a restaurant to bacteria. B) Some bacteria are unhealthy for people. C) Rinsing isn't sanitizing. D) I'm with wifey on this one. Jul 22 14 09:23 am Link I am pretty sure the rinsed dental floss is cleaner than my mouth. Jul 22 14 09:33 am Link Connor Photography wrote: Touche. Jul 22 14 09:41 am Link Rinse water may be cheap, but it may cost more and use more resources than 8 inches of dental floss.

Jul 22 14 10:42 am Link You guys are missing the point and humor.  It is a peeve of mine. I floss often, it is easier to recycle the floss and put it next to my tooth brush, than throwing it away. Nine out of 10 times I miss the waste basket and the floss ends up on the floor. Every time when I need a new one, I need to find it and pull it out to the proper length. It is way too much work.  What else can we discuss on here, you can't talk politics, religions, guns, or colors. Jul 22 14 10:46 am Link Connor Photography wrote: This company recycles dental floss into something usable!
