Make sure muddy shoes from walking excursions don&#8217;t damage the rest of your suitcase items by wrapping them in shower caps &#8211; you can also stuff socks and other small products into your shoes to save space.<\/p>\n<p>2. Prevent any accidents with liquid products by unscrewing each product lid, cutting a small square of cling film to wrap on top, and screwing the lid back on &#8211; a genius way of saving your precious suitcase items from damage.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-414\" src=\"https:\/\/woodstravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/549260.jpg\" alt=\"Purchase this image at http:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/549260\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodstravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/549260.jpg 534w, https:\/\/woodstravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/549260-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3.

If you&#8217;re travelling for business turn your blazers inside out and roll them to prevent creases<\/p>\n<p>7.
