Protect Leak Mishaps With This Easy Trash Bag Hack
By MACY SEARS
Leaks in trash bags may occur due to discarded sharp objects or excessive weight, which can puncture the bag's thin plastic. To tackle this issue, simply double-bag your trash can.
Adding a layer of protection in the trash can, like a second bag, allows you to carry out this household chore more effectively and avoid the frustration and mess caused by leaks.
When one bag is likely to leak, placing a second bag inside ensures that any liquids or semi-liquids stay contained within the inner bag, reducing sanitary
and hygiene concerns.
Double-bagging also helps contain odors and deter unwanted attention from pests and animals that create a nuisance and invite other potential health hazards.
