Alternative uses for newspapers

The main use of newspaper is to provide news, but it can do more than this. Newspaper has many uses for different aspects in our daily life.

1. use as umbrella when caught in rain.

2. Protect car seats from muddy or wet clothing.

3. Spread over outdoor benches to protect clothing.

4. Put into loose shoes to tighten

5. Crumple and place in suitcase for couple of weeks to remove stale odors.

6. Place in closed windows to eliminate wind rattle.

7. Stuff under doors and in cracks to stop cold wind from coming in

8. Offer protection. For fragile items, such as porcelain dishes that do not have any original packaging, many shops will use newspaper to wrap the items for protection before putting them into a bag and give it to customers. Wrapping by newspaper is also commonly used when people move living place.

.
9. Clean disposal. Newspaper is often used to wrap the unwanted materials so that disposal can be done neatly, such as the soils left after transplanting.
10. Offer fast drying. If your shoes are soaked due to raining or washing, put newspaper in the shoes to absorb the water. This helps dry fast and keep the shoes in good shape, which is particularly important to leather shoes.
11. Help in cleaning. To clean the screen windows, use tapes to stick the newspaper at the outer side, then apply the vacuum cleaner on the screen windows. The dust will be captured more efficiently.
12. Help in writing. Many writers get inspirations from newspaper that can also be used at school for writing assignments. Teacher can request students to cut a piece of news that they find most interesting and write a summary plus student’s own comments in a weekly basis.
