ha ha i do this with my teen daughters , they try an item of clothes on and think im washing it !!!! they are none the wiser when i fold them up with the clean washing lol
love this thread there is so many things i do that has been mentioned on here , havent finished reading all pages yet but thanks for the tips everyone xx

My DS is 16 and couldn't care less if his clothes are smelly :rotfl:but he does try dumping clean stuff in the laundry purely to avoid having to hang it up. I don't sneak round trying to fool him, hanging it up myself - I dump it on his bed with an earful about not having the time, enegry or money to wash and iron clean clothes!

Right - back on topic...as this isnt the Moneysavers Arms....:)

They can decide whether it's legal/honest, and whether they want to do it or not.

Back on topic indeed.

another use for free shower caps.... my DH is in the Navy and I am an instructor with the sea cadets... when cap is cleaned (with soap and a old nail brush!!) dry and cover with shower cap. Elastic keeps it on, and shower cap keeps it clean... saves time, effort, energy and soap with a freebie!!!!

I'm not too worried,the mouth isn't exactly sterile,is it?I rinse it a bit and let it dry.
I'll ask my dental hygienist her opinion next time,well,that's if I can pluck up the courage!
(It never would have occured to me to ask her).

Good luck if you do ask her! :-) I normally don't worry about germs at all, am kind of surprised at myself for thinking bacteria might be spawning on your bit of dental floss!

but please tell us what your hygienist says, if you pluck up the courage to ask!

I'm going to see my dentist in a few weeks-my hygienist is off sick-so I'll let you know!

We come into contact with so many germs,simply by opening doors,handling money etc,and or usually no worse off for it.

All the same,sometimes I think if I saw all the germs I come into contact with,I'd never want to leave the house.The first thing I do on getting home is wash my hands with hot,soapy water.

wonder if you could pour boiling water over the floss to kill germs ?

Or maybe keep it in a little pot of mouthwash inbetween uses? If mouthwash kills bacteria in your mouth it might do the trick?
