Other Perfect Uses for Cork Stoppers

For those who prefer an even simpler solution, natural cork earplugs can also neutralize bad odors without adding fragrance to your car. They are particularly effective against food or tobacco odors.

During freezing weather, your wipers can stick to the windshield, potentially damaging them when you use them. Replacing wiper blades frequently can become a significant cost. Another tip is to use corks to avoid this problem.

In very cold weather, cut a cork lengthwise, then place each half under the wiper blades. This keeps them from being in direct contact with the glass of your car, preventing them from sticking together during the night.

The next day, after defrosting your windshield, all you have to do is remove the corks and replace the blades.

For those who enjoy craft projects, corks can be transformed into an ingenious floor mat. By cutting them into rounds and gluing them side by side, you can create a mat that will protect your carpet from dirt and mud. This mat will come in handy during rainy weather or if you tend to get into your car with dirty shoes.
