These 6 Household Items Will Totally Change How You Pack a Suitcase

Don’t toss that dry cleaner bag

Here’s the best way to pack a suitcase to keep your clothes wrinkle-free on the road: Use the clear plastic wardrobe bags that come free from the dry cleaner and are already in your closet. Place each of your hanging items in its own plastic bag, then place all the bags together in a garment bag or suitcase. The bags create a thin layer of air around each item, preventing friction. Friction is what causes wrinkles; and plastic stops friction—it’s that easy. These are the other packing mistakes to avoid.
