Moving Blankets are not Just for Used for Moving

So you have finished the move and now you have all these moving blankets that you do not think you will ever use again. Think again! There are many things that you can do around the house and outside of the house with moving blankets that you may not have thought of. So do not have a garage sale and get rid of your furniture moving blanket. Save them for the uses listed below.

You can use your furniture blankets in the winter time to keep your plants free from frost. Frost is a killer for some plants. In areas where it is uncommon for frost even in the winter, these will be great for those random times when it does get that cold. Take the blankets and spread them on the ground and around the plants to keep them warm. You would not want to use your good blankets in the house for this.

If you are going camping, you can use the moving blanket underneath the tent to give you some protection from the ground. You can even use a few of them to get even more padding for comfort when sleeping. Any one who loves camping knows how hard the ground can be. This can be even truer for those who have a few more years on them.

Young kids may not feel any ill effects from sleeping in a sleeping bag on the hard ground. Older people may not fare so well. Getting up off the ground in the morning after sleeping on hard packed earth can be hard on the back. Having some blankets underneath the tent will offer padding that will keep the back from hurting in the morning.

If you have a dog, you can use a moving blanket in the bed or area where your dog sleeps. Since these blankets are machine washable, they can be cleaned frequently if you have a puppy that may make messes on them. You can give Lucky his very own blanket that he will use to sleep on and you can train him with it. You do not have to go out and buy an expensive doggy bed.

Some more uses for moving blankets are to take them to the beach. You can lay them on the sand and then put your towels on top of the blanket. This will keep the sand to a minimum. They will also be great for a picnic. The quilted furniture blankets are very comfortable to sit on when having fun at the park. Again, this is another place where you would not want to use a good blanket that may get grass stains from the ground.

As you can see, there is a wide variety of uses for your moving blankets after you have used them for moving. You can take them camping, on picnics, to the beach and even give one to your dog. Those with plants can protect them in the winter months with a moving blanket.
