I don't know when online shopping has gradually become a necessity for people's lives, and the preferential prices given on the Internet have made countless people take online shopping as their first choice.
People used to worry that online shopping was virtual and what if it wasn't convenient to return or exchange an item?
However, in order to reassure customers, some e-commerce platforms have opened the method of free shipping return and exchange, which makes many merchants who do not match the original picture complain.
There are many benefits to online shopping, there are a variety of products to choose from, and you can shop around for the same item to see whose things are more affordable, which is equivalent to a supermarket without leaving home.
In the past, merchants simply used express boxes for packaging before sending express delivery, because this can reduce costs as much as possible and achieve the so-called small profits but quick turnover.
However, the courier company handles a lot of goods every day, and they also know that these couriers cannot be handled lightly, so they need to spend a lot of effort on packaging.
Moreover, some goods will have glassware, and even expensive and easily damaged items, and merchants will try their best to package them tightly, otherwise the products will be damaged after reaching the hands of customers, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Therefore, merchants will wrap the goods tightly with bubble pads before packing the goods, which is why we can find bubble pads or styrofoam when we receive express delivery.
Most people will throw it away with the courier box after receiving it, but the "hidden" use of the bubble pad can help us save unnecessary expenses, and it can also exceed our imagination.
So, what are the uses of this seemingly inconspicuous bubble pad?
Helps the cutting board to be non-slip
Cutting boards are indispensable for every family, because parents need to cut the washed vegetables on the cutting board every day when they are cooking.
Many people's homes are full of this kind of wooden cutting board, when we want to cut the meat after cutting green peppers, line peppers, green onions and ginger and other ingredients, we have to wash it with water before we can operate again.
The wooden cutting board can easily slide as we operate when it comes into contact with the water, and if we are not careful, we may even cut our fingers, and we will not be able to touch the water for several days.
Nowadays, many people's kitchens use marble or tile worktops, which have a smooth surface and become clean quickly with a damp rag, and are also loved by countless people.
But it's smooth and durable, which becomes a disadvantage when it comes into contact with a waterlogged cutting board.
In this case, we can cut the bubble mat into a non-slip mat of the right size and place it under the cutting board, so as to achieve waste recycling, which has a non-slip effect and looks more beautiful at the same time.
Refrigerator cushions
Now the fruit on the street is very abundant, even tropical fruits can be transported to the north, and people also prefer juicy and sweet fruits, and when they go out, they always have to come to the street stalls for a pound or two.
However, many people can't eat it all at night, so they put the fruit or the vegetables they need for the next day in the refrigerator, because the refrigeration in the refrigerator can effectively delay the rotting period of the fruit.
However, the refrigerator is not a panacea, because it can achieve maximum storage time, rather than being completely non-rotten, no matter how fresh the vegetables and fruits are, they will go bad if they are not eaten for a long time.
These rotten fruits and vegetables will give off a disgusting smell in the refrigerator, and some yellow water will come out, which will be sticky and unpleasant to the touch.
When we clean the refrigerator, we can't rinse it with water, because it may make the refrigerator scrapped, so many people will wipe it with a clean cloth repeatedly, but it is difficult to remove the marks left by the yellow water.
Before putting fresh fruits in the refrigerator, we can place the bubble pad under the fruit and use it as a temporary cushion.
And you can also place a porcelain bowl on it that is easy to slide, so you can avoid accidentally breaking the porcelain bowl when picking up other items in the refrigerator.
Bubble pads placed in the refrigerator are also very easy to handle, discard them when not in use, and then wipe them with a rag.
Wrap iron tools
There is an item that can not be used at home, but can not be without, I believe that many friends are clear, it is the toolbox, we usually need to use a screwdriver or wrench in the toolbox to fix a screw, repair a water pipe.
Correspondingly, most of the instruments in the toolbox are sharp, and although they all have their own place in the toolbox, they are very dangerous for children who like to play with the toolbox.
And some bear children are curious without touching the toolbox, which can turn into a trigger for a family tragedy.
If we want to avoid this, the best thing to do is to wrap the sharp instrument with a bubble pad and then seal it with scotch tape.
If we need to use the toolbox, we can use scissors to cut the tape on the bubble pad, which will prevent the tools from "running around" and prevent the children from being injured by the tools, which is very practical!
Clean teacups and pots
In daily life, it is common to entertain guests at home, especially in winter, parents will invite relatives and friends to come to the house for tea, chatting about homely things and dissipating the cold at home.
But over time, it is inevitable that some tea stains or tea stains will be left on the teacup, and it is difficult to clean them in ordinary ways, and when they are used to entertain guests, they do not look very beautiful.
Like the usual use of loofah or scouring pad, it can clean the grease stains on ceramic tableware, but if you want to use it to clean tea scale, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The use of steel wool balls for cleaning, and it seems to kill chickens with a knife, and the scratches on the porcelain are also very large, which is not very beautiful.
Even if some friends use a toothbrush, baking soda or vinegar to clean, although they can achieve a certain effect, they will inevitably leave some cleaning marks, not to mention the time-consuming and laborious efforts, and it is difficult to meet our expectations.
At this time, we can take out the bubble mat, cut it into long strips or small pieces, and clean the cup in time after each use.
In addition, we can also use it to clean those pots and pans with non-stick coating, because the inner liner of the rice cooker has a non-stick coating so that the rice does not stick to it and can be used repeatedly.
If we use a steel wool ball to clean, although the cleaning process is very convenient and washed in one go, after the non-stick coating is removed, the inner liner of this rice cooker is easy to cook the bottom of the good rice into burnt rice, which wastes the rice invisibly.
This is also an undesirable act, and the correct way to do this is to wash it with a bubble pad, just like a teacup.
Anti-scald and noise-proof
Many people have glass or wooden dining tables at home, and rushing to serve steaming dishes and soups can burn our tabletops and leave an unsightly black mark.
We can solve this problem by simply using two bubble pads, placing them on the table with one side and the other side, and then placing the hot food on the bubble pad to avoid scraping and burning the tabletop.
In addition, when the tables, chairs and benches in some people's homes are dragged and dragged together, there may be a screeching sound, which affects the rest of the downstairs neighbors, and the other party comes up and knocks on the door to give a verbal warning.
In fact, everyone does not want to encounter the embarrassing thing of being approached by a neighbor, but we have all had such an experience to a greater or lesser extent.
Then we can cut the bubble pad to a suitable size, and then use hot melt glue or 502 glue to stick the bubble pad to the place where the table and chair rub against the ground, which can effectively reduce the noise generation.
While not disturbing the neighbors, it can also ensure the sleep of the family, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Clean up your hair and unclog the toilet
Hair loss is very troublesome for girls with long hair, because if the long hair that falls on the ground is not cleaned up in time, it will stick to itself and stick to our clothes and pants.
If we want to clean up our hair, we need to focus on cleaning up near the trash can and on the bathroom floor.
However, when these hairs are gathered together by the broom, they will be wrapped around the broom, which is difficult to clean completely, and it is also a problem for many women.
At this time, we feel that the unused express bubble mat comes in handy, and when it rubs against the tile floor and wooden floor, it will cause static electricity to be generated in its own plastic materials.
This adsorbs hair and dust on the floor to the bubble pad to achieve the cleaning effect we need, which is better for us to deal with when we encounter a clogged toilet.
If the toilet at home uses UPVC pipes, then we don't need to be too anxious when we encounter toilet blockage, because there are many reasons for toilet blockage.
Pour oil and water from the food into the toilet, and the dirt and paper towels inside the toilet block the toilet, or there are too many other debris in the pipe, which causes the pipe to be blocked.
Although it is effective to use a tool to unclog pipes, it can also splash some filth, which is disgusting, and the price of the master who comes to unclog the pipes varies, and some still need to make an appointment and wait until the next day to come to the door to clean up.
If it's just a simple clogged toilet, we can cover the entire toilet bowl with a bubble pad and then fix the bubble pad with tape.
And press the middle of the toilet with your hand, let the air pressure in the toilet unclog the sewer pipe, and after cleaning, the bubble pad can be thrown into the trash, which can be described as clean and convenient.
epilogue
Don't look at the bubble pad as a mediocre thing, most people think of it as a decompression thing, but it's actually very useful, and I hope you don't just throw them all away if you receive them in the future.
It's best to keep it at home as a backup, even if you don't need it.
