Having grown up in the waning years of the plastic couch cover (or the plastic slip, if you prefer), I’ve always been intrigued by the psychology behind this peculiar practice. Here’s the scenario: you go to a furniture store, you spend the requisite time to find just the right size, shape and style of furniture to grace your living room, and you lay out considerable cash to purchase and have the furniture delivered to your house.
When it gets there, you spend more time positioning it just right to ensure that it entirely fulfills your vision of the complete, well-appointed living room. Then, as you look over your creation, flush with pride — you proceed to cover everything with plastic. ‘You’ don’t do this, I realize, but so many people have that this practice is a defining mark of a generation. A pure utilitarian would have no trouble understanding it. Clear plastic allows you to see the fabric beneath and also protect it, thus lengthening the life of the furniture and maximizing its utility. As to the aesthetic concern of not being able to feel the fabric, but instead hearing a crunch every time you sit down and then sliding about for a while until becoming as comfortable as someone can be cushioned in plastic, the utilitarian says “too bad – that’s the trade-off for maximizing the utility of your investment.” This is a good example of something that in a certain light makes perfect practical sense, and yet is still a sure sign of neuroticism.
I think that’s what intrigues me about it most: it’s an example of the illusion of normalcy. For a generation that was prone to drape its rooms in plastic, this practice was as normal as drinking coffee in the morning. Now, to us (with perspective of a much differently adjusted normal state) covering perfectly good furniture in plastic seems insane. The utility argument seems equally insane, if only because it’s so ridiculously myopic (which is one of the reasons that pure utilitarianism is about as influential these days as the flat earth movement). More recent generations, though, are prone to their own flavor of “covering” neuroticism — the car bra. You buy the car of your dreams, so it’s only reasonable to want to protect its paint, right? And what better way than to put on a car bra–the leather (or vinyl) slip that’s fitted to cover the front end of the car–and thus keep bugs, tar and anything else from corroding the paint. Practically speaking, the logic of this practice seems unassailable, and car bra practioners would argue that aesthetically it also makes the grade–so stylish and classy.
But there’s one problem with all of this, though it only becomes evident when, a couple years later, the bra comes off and you realize that the paint beneath the bra is now a different shade than the rest of the car, which has been exposed to all of the elements that roughly one eighth of the car was protected from by the bra. Back to couch covers… I’ve found nothing on the web as illustrative of the practice than this clip from “Everybody Loves Raymond”. I especially like the “freedom” initially experienced when the cover comes off — like a collective sense of relief felt from overcoming a severe anxiety disorder–until things take a turn for the (very funny) worst. Freedom is indeed a fragile thing. Clear Plastic Furniture Bags manufactured to cover and protect all types of furniture. These Bags are on a roll and each bag is perforated for easy tear off.

There’s plastic on my monitor, plastic on my three hole punch, plastic on my clock/weather station; hell, I’m even sitting on plastic.
If I look out my window, I’m looking at plastic bird feeders. If I look down my shirt….With as common as the stuff is, how is it that the task of cleaning plastic can so often be thoroughly neglected? I would think something that is that prevalent in our lives would garner a little more respect. I think the problem is that people are simply unsure of how to clean plastic. There are, after all, many different grades and types of plastic. Luckily for all of us, plastic is pretty forgiving stuff. The main section of this article will cover a rather general method that I believe to be the best way to clean plastic that is not connected to things like electronics that can be damaged by water. If you had something a little more specific in mind (like the electronics), see if I covered it in the bottom section. If what you’re looking for isn’t there, shoot me an email. Steps to Cleaning Plastic Pick an appropriate location. When it comes time to clean plastic, take the nature and the size of the object you’re cleaning into consideration before you start washing it.
If it’s a large piece, like plastic furniture, Big Wheels, storage containers, etc., take ’em outside if weather permits. If not, use the tub. If it’s something small like a kids’ toy, a dish, a figurine, or a…whatever, just use the kitchen or bathroom sink. Gather and prepare cleaning apparatus. I’m fond of preparation. When I start a job, I want to have everything I need right at hand so that I don’t have to make a bunch of trips back and forth to grab things I forgot. If you’re washing plastic that’s small, you will need the sink plug, some gentle dish detergent such as Seventh Generation, your hands and some water. If you are working outside, you will need a garden hose, a bucket of warm water, Seventh Generation or equivalent dish soap, and a stack of clean dry towels. For both instances you will want a rag and perhaps an old, soft toothbrush. Soak your dirty plastic. If you’re working at the kitchen or bathroom sink, fill it with warm water, stir in a couple tablespoons of detergent, and let the item soak for about 10 minutes before moving to the next step.
If you’re working outside with a large item, grab the garden hose and spray down the dirty plastic. After the first spray, give it a few minutes and do it again. After the second hose-down, do it one more time and continue immediately to the next step. Now it’s time to actually clean plastic. For the smaller items that are in the sink, grab a soft rag, dip it into the sink, and start scrubbing. Seriously, that’s pretty much all there is to it. If you are washing plastic that has a bunch of little nooks and crannies, use an old baby toothbrush to get down inside them. I suggest a baby toothbrush because most plastics scratch pretty easily. For those of you who decided it was best to wash plastic outside, put a few tablespoons of your mild detergent in the bucket of warm water you readied earlier, grab your rag, and get set to clean plastic. Just give it a real good rub down all over and use a baby toothbrush where needed.Now that you have nice clean plastic furniture, toys, figurines, feeders, etc., it’s time to give them a good rinse.
Do this as soon as you can after cleaning to get all of the soap off. Inside, just run your plastic item under the tap. Outside, spray the hell out of it with the hose. Take your time and do a good job. It works best to use a slow stream of water. It will cause less splattering and help keep you from feeling rushed. Dry your plastic quickly. This is maybe the most important step in cleaning plastic items. As soon as all the soapy water has been rinsed away, start drying. It’s important to dry plastic quickly as it has a tendency to develop very stubborn water spots that can make your plastic appear dull and dirty. And as with the completion of any chore, reward yourself for washing plastic with a nice cold beer. Further Advice for Cleaning Plastic Never use abrasives like steel wool, Brillo Pads, scritchy sponges, Ajax or Comet for cleaning plastic. They will scour and scratch the surface, make your plastic items look like crap, and make future cleanings more difficult.
When it comes time to clean plastic parts on electronics, the best advice I can give is not to do it. If you’re hell bent on trying it, then do this: make sure the item is unplugged or the batteries are removed, dip a soft sponge in warm soapy water, wring as much of the water out of it as humanly possible, and wipe the plastic down. Next, take a new clean sponge, dip it in warm fresh water, and wipe all of the soap residue off of the electronic piece. Let the piece sit for at least 48 hours before use. Cleaning plastic button covers. Use straight white vinegar for cleaning the plastic sheet that covers the push buttons on things like stoves and microwaves. Make sure to dry it off thoroughly when you’re done, or it will streak. For cleaning plastic shower curtains, take them outside, lay them out flat, spray them down with a hose, and wipe them down with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water that you made in a bucket or mixed in a spray bottle. The vinegar will break down the hard water deposit and help kill mildew.
