Bubble wrap, most often associated with the material for wrapping and packing shipments, is an extremely versatile tool that can facilitate many of our everyday activities. What are its non-obvious uses? We give you a hint!

Among the unusual uses of bubble wrap are those that will improve our gardening, and protect clothes and shoes. We explain what you can use bubble wrap for, even the one used after opening the package.

Uses of bubble wrap

Bubble wrap is an invaluable aid in everyday activities. Its versatility and availability make it worth having it always at hand. From now on, you will no longer throw it away when the courier brings another parcel wrapped in foil. Here are some unusual but very practical uses of bubble wrap.

1. As a softening of the shovel handle

Wrapping the handle of the shovel in foil can prevent the formation of painful calluses, which will certainly contribute to the comfort of activities performed.

2. As protection for clothes, shoes and handbags

Bubble wrap can also serve as excellent protection for our clothes and accessories. Filling the inside of your shoes with it will give them the right shape and prevent deformation. In the same way, foil can serve as protection for bags stored in the closet.

3. As additional thermal insulation

On cold days, bubble wrap, thanks to its insulating properties, can provide an additional thermal barrier. When glued to windows and doors, it will provide additional warmth in our homes. It can also serve as protection for plants against frost.

4. As an aid in cleaning the floor

Bubble wrap is also used in cleaning. Wrapping a flat mop in foil before putting a cloth on it will make the mop stick better to the floor and collect dirt more effectively, especially in hard-to-reach corners.
