TikToker @rosemaryfairy shared an incredibly useful hack to upcycle those pesky mesh plastic bags that fruit and veggies come in. These are the bags that onions, garlic, oranges, lemons, and more come in. Why not upcycle those and turn them into a super useful scrub daddy for your dishes?

@rosemaryfairy

Buying bulk veggies and got all these plastic bags? Let’s upcycle them into some scrub daddies! 🧽 it’s not much, but it’s honest work and gives a little more purpose to that crappy plastic stuff. Of course ideally, food without a plastic jacket is ideal. But in the event you find yourself with some, here’s a useful idea! 🫶🏻 #diy #upcycleplastic #reducewaste #kitchenhacks #dishes #scrubdaddy #lifehack #veggies #bulk #kitchen #plasticsucks #cleaning #cleaningtiktok

First, @rosemaryfairy takes the stringiest and most torn-apart ones to be the start. She balls it up, then chooses the next bag and puts the balled-up one inside. She wraps and balls it all up, and then you guessed it, she puts it in another produce bag. Keep going until it is the size you want, and make sure to save the best mesh piece for last!

Try this hack next time instead of throwing away that plastic!
