Hotel rooms often have tea bags, coffee bags, and toiletries that guests are allowed to use or take home without paying extra. However, there is another free item that is easily overlooked: a shower cap.

This small but convenient item is usually kept in a small box or package inside the bathroom. While most travelers only use it to cover their hair while showering, according to Reader's Digest , it has many other uses.

Help clean and maintain hygiene

For parents with young children, shower caps are useful in keeping craft projects neater. Specifically, shower caps can be used to line paint trays or mixing bowls, saving on washing or cleaning.

Another handy way to keep your shoes clean is to use shower caps to cover them before packing them. Shoes tend to collect all sorts of dirt and grime, which can easily transfer to your clothes and other items in your suitcase. Wrapping them in shower caps will help keep them separate.

Besides the hygiene function, shower caps also play an important role in keeping dry.

At the end of a day at the pool or beach, it is not advisable to pack your wet swimsuit in a bag with your dry towel and other personal items. In this situation, a shower cap is a convenient solution to put your wet swimsuit inside and keep it completely separate from the rest of your luggage.

Unexpected applications in the kitchen

According to baking blogger Melissa Fallon, shower caps can also be used in cooking, such as covering bread dough during the proofing stage.

However, Melissa cautions against letting the cap come into direct contact with food to ensure safety. Most shower caps are made of plastic, which is not food grade.

Another unique way to use a new, unused shower cap is to use it to cover leftovers. The cap can easily be stretched over a bowl of salad, which will keep better in the fridge if properly covered.
