painting projects for kids, clip off rope, sanitize, and use inside to play catch with the kids, “sponge” paint walls, cleaning out shower/bathtub

If you clip the center knot of the string that holds the puff together, you will hae a long expandable tube. By cutting and knotting the end you will have a bag like oranges and potatoes come in. I used mine for collecting sea shells at Myrtle Beach. I could easily rinse off the sand and hang the bag up to dry. As a bag/bags the possible uses are endless.

We seem to get a collection of these things during the Christmas. So I used them in place of bio-balls and other filter media for my fish tank. They capture particles and allow bacteria to grow that helps keep the tank healthy.

I have to agree with Stacy. When you’re about ready to pitch these little guys, I’ve found that they are wonderful for scrubbing out the bathtub. Just use a little Softscrub, and it easily eliminates soap scum.

If you open them out, you get a sort of net tube. You can tie the last slivers of scraps of soap bars into this, so that you can use them up completely.

They are very good at cleaning UPVC windows, as they don’t scratch the surface like other scrubbers

I took mine apart and put the stones in them for my garden pots. Now when I have to re-pot I don’t have to sort out the drainage stones, they are kept together in the net bag.

I took one apart and split the long tube in half to make “ribbon” to use when wrapping gifts.

Use it to clean mushrooms or potatoes - then throw it into the washmachine for further use. The bodyscrubber gloves are even handier.
