15 Ways to Reuse Old Pantyhose

Do you have pairs of pantyhose on their last leg, with holes in the toes and runs in the legs you are no longer able to hide? Resist the need to throw them away. There is still so much life left in them. Here are 15 way to reuse your old pantyhose.

1.) Store wrapping paper rolls - With Christmas, birthdays and many other celebrations it's hard to store all the left over rolls of wrapping paper. Instead of using a rubber band and having them still flail about your closet ripping and tearing try an old pair of pantyhose. Stuff the wrapping paper roll tube inside the legs of the pantyhose. It will protect them from tearing and other damage. Hang them from a hook and add more space to your storage area.

2.) Soap remnants - Cut the foot off a pair of pantyhose and put in all the little pieces of soap that are too small to use alone and often get thrown away, then tie. All the pieces will add up to a nice soapy cloth for your shower.

3.) Soap bar holder - Put a bar of soap in a leg of a pair of pantyhose and hang it in the shower. It will prevent the hard to clean build up of soap on the soap dish and can be used without removing it from the nylons. The nylon will also act as a gentle exfoliator on your skin.

4.) Clean your car grille - It is a sad fact for bugs that our driving often leads to the loss of their lives. That fact also leads to very hard to clean area of our cars. Take an old pair of pantyhose and give them a quick soak in some soapy water. Use them to clean the car grille and other buggy areas of your car. The pantyhose will scrub off the hard to clean splats without ruining your finish.

5.) Odor absorber - Add cat litter to a cut off pantyhose leg and hang or store it in an area that has odors. The pantyhose are a great way to contain the odor absorbing cat litter to help deodorize small areas.

6.) Keep soil in pots - Cut off part of one of the legs of the pantyhose and ball it up or lay it flat on the bottom of the planter pot. This will prevent soil from coming out of the drainage holes, but still allow water to drain threw.
