Plastic wrap is a key household item everyone should have in their cupboard. In general, it is used to keep food fresh for longer. For example, most people use it to wrap sandwiches or leftovers from the previous day, and that is pretty much it. Plastic wrap is usually left untouched in a kitchen drawer after one or two uses. This usually happens because we forget we had bought a roll (so we get even more saran wrap and over-stock). But this also may occur because we think of it for one specific task. Today we bring you some clever yet simple hacks to help you use plastic wrap for many more purposes in your daily life.

Use it for a mess-free painting day

When you are painting a room, you have to be sure that all the things that are not supposed to be painted are covered. This includes your light switches, window frames, and of course, your floor. The thing is that, although masking tape is super useful, it might not be enough to cover everything, so we have a smarter solution.

When you think a mess is bound to happen during your painting session, you should follow this hack. Yes, it can be hard to keep everything clean, especially your floors, but you can use plastic wrap to keep this from happening. Place it wherever you need it, and after waiting for the paint to dry, simply remove it and throw it out.
