Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    COOKING: A Ziploc bag works great for frosting. Simply cut off a small side of the bottom of the bag to make a hole the frosting can go through. It also works great as an improve set of gloves when you are kneading bread dough.

  2. Step 2

  3. Step 3

    CLEANING: Pour some white vinegar into your Ziploc bag, tie the bag to the showerhead with a rubberband and let it soak for half an hour to an hour. A simple cleaning trick that doesn't require scrubbing! You can also use it as a funnel when you're shampooing hair.

    EMERGENCIES: Simple tear open the side seams of a gallon size bag and lay it flat for an emergency baby diaper change. Ziploc bags are also the perfect size for storing an emergency car pack.
