Jessica Roderick (@family.of.nomads) has more than 2.4 million followers on TikTok, where she shares insights into her family life.

She went viral on the social media app when she shared an essential camping trick.

“Having lived in multiple campgrounds across the United States over the past two years, we have seen not only sewer hoses, but dog poop bags and many other disgusting things on the table,” she said.

FRESH IDEA

Jessica, with the help of a coworker, began unfolding a tablecloth to make sure her workspace was clean before she sat down.

“We like to use picnic table covers with elastic,” she said.

“Not only does it not blow away, but they also come in many colours, so we got the blue one to match our camper.

“They even have some with holes, in case your picnic table has an umbrella.”

She said the picnic table covers were available for purchase on Amazon.

“If you’re camping you NEED this,” she captioned the post.

Nearly 47,000 people liked the video and many viewers responded positively to the idea.

“This is amazing, thank you!” said someone.

“Well now that we’re starting our camping adventure, this is a NEED!” commented another.

“What a great idea!” said a third.

“We live permanently in a camper and I have literally never thought about what was on those tables [crying] “I’m ordering right now,” wrote another.

“It’s so great, easy to wipe down before you use the table,” Jessica replied.

GREAT BUY

Elastic picnic table covers are available in five different sizes from Amazon’s Sorfey Store, with prices starting at $9.99.

The colors sold include blue, yellow, burgundy, gray, red and black.

According to the manufacturer, the polyester covers are “waterproof and stain resistant,” making them “easy” to wipe clean.

Amazon customers have given the products a whopping 4.3 out of 5 possible stars and written rave reviews.

One customer described it as “durable and generously sized,” while another praised the “great quality” of the tablecloth after using it for a party.
