- Smoother ironing
Rub the iron plate with wax paper to help it glide more smoothly over clothing.
- Protect delicate fabrics
If you want to store a special piece of clothing – like a wedding dress – fold it in wax paper to keep light from damaging the item.
- Uncork bottles more easily
If you have a half-empty bottle of wine, wrap the cork in wax paper before storing or refrigerating the bottle to make it easier to uncork the second time round.
- Flatten meat and poultry
Place chicken breasts or veal cutlets between two sheets of wax paper before flattening it with a food hammer. It’ll help keep the meat in place and make cleaning-up easier.
- Prevent stains
To prevent spices and condiments from staining your kitchen cabinets, line the cabinet (or drawer) with wax paper to catch any spills. It’ll also work for medicine and toiletries in your bathroom cabinet.
