14 Household Tricks You Only Need Plastic Wrap For

Plastic film, or cling film, is not just for storing food. For example, with the help of this simple material you can make a change easier, keep the kitchen clean and even get rid of annoying insects.

O awesome.club tested the most interesting ways to use this material and decided to tell you what can really be done with it. At the end, we’ll show you some tricks we don’t like (but we tried them anyway).

If you don’t have a cup with a lid and want to protect yourself from accidental liquid spillage, cover the container with a small plastic film and insert a straw in the middle🇧🇷 So that the casing does not move out of place, you can secure it with tape.

Traditionally, a poached egg is cooked by adding a little vinegar to boiling water, creating a whirlpool of water in the pan and depositing the egg there. However, even if you strictly follow all the instructions, there is no guarantee that it will cook correctly.

It is much easier to prepare this dish using cling film.: Just break the egg into it, tie it up so it’s a bag, and drop it into the boiling water.

If you can’t unscrew the cap, wrap it in plastic🇧🇷 Your hands will stop slipping and opening the bottle will be much easier.

If you’ve ever had to mix ingredients in an electric mixer in an open bowl, you certainly don’t need to be told how everything gets so messy afterward. But, if you wrap the container with plastic beforehand, you can avoid dirt.

If you’ve taken a break from paint work, wrap the brush and can in cling film. This way the paint won’t dry out and the brush won’t harden.

You can get rid of pesky fruit bugs using a simple trap. To do this, place some cut fruit in a glass, cover with a piece of cling film and make small holes.

Attracted by the sweet and fruity smell, the insects will enter through the holes in the film, but will not be able to get out.

Before tenderizing the meat with the meat mallet, cover it with plastic wrap. That way the fibers won’t fly everywhere and the table will remain clean.

A move will be much more pleasant if, at first, you don’t have to take all your things out of the boxes and put them back. To do this, just simply wrap your boxes with plasticand so things will remain in place.

If you’re going on a trip and want to take liquid cosmetics with you, but you’re worried your containers might spill, before closing the tube put a plastic film under the cover. This will help protect all of your products.

With the help of the plastic casing, you can unclog your toilet🇧🇷 To do this, the surface is wrapped with plastic wrap, and the edges are sealed with tape. Then, flush (the film should inflate).

After that, you have to press the cling film several times. The air accumulated under it will push the clog into the sewer.

Some of the tips from Internet users seemed strange to us, but we tried them out anyway. As a result, we found them to be either too ridiculous or not as effective as expected.

Next, we present a list of improvisations with plastic film that we would not recommend.

People who can’t get rid of their cell phone, even in the bathroom, propose to protect it from moisture by wrapping it in plastic wrap.

But personally, we don’t want to put our device in danger by using it a few more minutes while showering. Also, if the phone is tightly closed, then you will not be able to listen to music or watch a movie, and the volume will be low.

Some internet users claim that if you wrap your skin in plastic before training or after applying an anti-cellulite cream, you will lose weight faster.

But this weight loss is due only to the fact that the film will help to sweat and then you will lose a certain amount of fluid. We very much doubt the long-term effect of this measure, because you will have to replace the lost fluid somehow.

Some people advise always having a roll of cling film in the hall in case you need to return to the bedroom with your shoes. In this case, the casing will not allow you to soil the floor.

While the advice works, firstly it’s uncomfortable and secondly it’s absurd: isn’t it easier to take your shoes off than to wrap your feet in plastic?

This trick is only for those people who have reached a new level of laziness. You you can wrap the dishes with a plastic film and, after eating, remove it with the remains of the food🇧🇷 So the dishes will keep clean.

Perhaps this is convenient, but it seems too strange. In addition, it will not be possible to serve a romantic dinner in such dishes.
