Plastic bags, although not environmentally friendly, help protect things from dust and dirt. However, such "packaging" can be used not only for storing things.

RBC-Ukraine (Styler project) has collected ideas on how to use plastic bags in everyday life.

Lay out the bed linen in sets

Bulky bedding sets can fit comfortably in large packages — and not get mixed up. Also, while the bags can be stacked horizontally on a linen closet shelf, they can be stored anywhere with labels attached to make it easy to find spare linens when you have guests over.

Use for dirty clothes on a trip

Plastic bags do not allow dirt to spread and do not take up much space. So before you go on vacation, wrap your shoes in plastic bags before packing them in your suitcase so that the soles don't stain your clothes.

The bags can also be used to sort outerwear from bottoms and pajamas.

Prevent the paint from drying

If you work with paints, the most frustrating part of the job is washing your brushes and rollers over and over again. Instead, to prevent the paint from drying, it is advised to wrap the brushes in plastic bags so that you can continue working.

In addition, a tightly wrapped bag can replace a lost lid from a paint can.

Protect plants in frost

Plants can have a hard time surviving the cold. To protect them from frost damage, it is recommended to loosely tie the plants with plastic bags to create a layer of air.

Fold wet towels and swimwear after the pool

Use plastic bags to separate wet swimwear from dry bag contents (purse, documents, etc.). They will save the fabric of the bag and other things from getting wet.

Clean the shower head from drips

If you have hard water, try soaking your shower head and even faucets in vinegar from time to time to remove stubborn dirt. Simply fill a plastic bag and secure it with a clip or rubber band.

Keep the shape of the shoes

If shoes are packed tightly in storage boxes, they may "flatten" a bit. However, plastic bags stuffed into handbags, shoes and boots help these items retain their shape between wears.

Transport fragile things

No bubble wrap? No problem, wrap fragile items like vases or ceramic plates in bags before placing them in moving boxes. This will protect them from impacts and reduce the likelihood of breakage.

Divide the products in the freezer

To separate foods in the freezer by category, separate them using plastic bags. For example, put all your frozen vegetables in a plastic grocery bag and attach a label.
