5 Unique Uses for Saran Plastic Food Wrap

You probably have at least one roll of plastic wrap in your kitchen drawer right now. It's great for covering food items before you store them in your refrigerator or cupboard. If you cover food containers with plastic wrap before you place them in the microwave, food won't spatter and make a mess all over the inside. I keep several rolls of this sealer on hand at all times. Because, besides using it in the kitchen, it has many other uses around the house. Here are my 5 unique uses for Saran™ plastic food Wrap:

1. Create Makeshift Snow Boot Covers
During a recent blizzard, we got 17 inches of snow. I've been wearing low-cut hiking boots outside, so I knew I was going to end up with snow in my boots and cold, wet legs when I shoveled snow. Unless, I made myself some makeshift snow boot covers! So, I used a roll of plastic food wrap to cover the top of my hiking boots. I then continued wrapping my legs all the way up to my knees with the flexible plastic. After I secured the edges with a piece of duct tape, I was ready to venture out into the deep snow for a lengthy session. When I returned to the house, I wasn't surprised to find the Saran™ Wrap had kept my feet and legs dry.

2. Seal Up Small, Drafty Windows
The small window in my bathroom tends to be drafty, especially when the wind's hitting that side of the house in the wintertime. One bitter-cold night, I determined that window needed to be sealed up before I froze. So I grabbed a roll of Saran™ Wrap and did the job with that and a roll of duct tape. Generally, that heavy duty, clear plastic you buy to seal up leaky windows with is thick enough to apply one layer. Since plastic food wrap is considerably thinner, you'll need at least three or four layers to do the trick.

3. Use Plastic Wrap to Keep a Cast Dry
Anytime you have a cast on your arm or leg, you can keep it dry when you bathe in the tub by simply using a roll of Saran™ Wrap. Simply wrap the entire cast in the plastic from one end to the other. Secure the edges with some transparent tape, and you're ready to climb into the tub!
