A MOM has revealed the simple trick she uses to ensure picnic tables are clean before her family eats at campgrounds.
She said there are many “disgusting things” she’s seen people put on tables during her time spent traveling.
Jessica Roderick (@family.of.nomads) has garnered over 2.4 million followers on TikTok, where she shares a glimpse into her family life.
She went viral on the social media app when she shared a must-try camping hack.
“After living at multiple campgrounds across the United States for the past two years, we’ve seen not only sewer hoses but also dog poop bags and many other disgusting things put on the table,” she said.
Jessica began to unfold a table cover with help from a partner to make sure her space was clean before sitting down.
“We like using these picnic table covers with elastic,” she said.
“Not only does the wind not blow it off, but also they have many colors so we get the blue one to match our camper.
“They even have some that have holes for if your picnic table has an umbrella.”
She revealed that the picnic table covers were available to buy from Amazon.
“If you camp, you NEED this,” she captioned the post.
Almost 47,000 people liked the video and many viewers took to the comment section praising the idea.
“This is awesome, thank you!” one person said.
“Welp, as we start our camping adventure this is now a NEED!” another commented.
“Such a good idea!” a third chimed in.
“We live full time in an RV and I’ve literally never thought of what has been on those tables [crying] ordering right now,” another wrote.
“It is so great, easy to wipe down before using the table,” Jessica replied.
Elasticated picnic table covers are available in five different sizes from Amazon’s Sorfey Store, with prices starting from $9.99.
