How to Use Bubble Wrap Around the House: 5 Easy Hacks
Let's be honest, bubble wrap isn't just intended for wrapping delicate items and moving. It's also meant for popping!
But, did you know there are even more ways to use bubble wrap around the house? Check out these 5 helpful hacks.
Hack 1: Line your produce drawer to prevent bruising
When you have fruits and vegetables rolling around your produce drawer in the refrigerator all day, you're bound to have some bruised items.
Cut a piece of bubble wrap to the size of your produce drawer and slide it into the bottom. Fill with your favorite fruits and veggies and you'll find things no longer roll around!
Hack 2: Clean the floor without a blister
Mopping or scrubbing the floor takes some major muscle. With that tight grip and pressure needed to get a good scrub going your hands can end up with painful blisters.
Problem solved! Wrap a strip of bubble wrap around the handle where your hand grips your cleaning tool and secure with tape. Watch the video below to see how I wrap my mop.
Hack 3: Create your own Insulated Freezer Bag
Do you want to keep things cold on the car ride home from the grocery store? Create your own reusable freezer tote bag but lining a fabric shopping bag with bubble wrap. It will help keep the items cold on the way home from the grocery store.
Hack 4: Fix a toilet with condensation.
Is your toilet constantly sweating? If your water tank is causing a small amount of water condensation or build-up, bubble wrap can solve that problem too.
Line the inside of the tank with sheets of bubble wrap and they will help limit the condensation.
Hack 5: Fix a noisy toolbox.
Are your tools constantly rattling when they slide around in your toolbox? Simply line your toolbox with bubble wrap and your tools will no longer move. Say, "goodbye" to the sound of crashing and banging on the job site.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Love using bubble wrap in the fridge. I have a question about soap bars. I use soap bar not liquid soap. I put a piece of sponge under the soap bar to protect it from water and wasting quickly but this leads to a very bad smell. Do you have an idea to keep soap bars dry in a soap dish. Please help. Thank you.
