Tip: Quiet that dripping faucet

Drip. Drip. Drip.

A dripping faucet can be a real pain. Not only is it a waste of water (and money), but, unless you're an adept late-night handyperson, that dripping noise is almost guaranteed to keep you up all night long

This clever trick from Homelife offers a great temporary solution - so you can catch your ZZZs in quiet and wake up, refreshed, to actually fix the problem.

Grab a long piece of dental floss.

Tie one end of the floss around the tap and put the other end down the drain.

The drips travel along the thread - and silently down the drain - instead of dripping into the sink.

Sweet dreams!
