Garbage bags, many people have been set wrong, no wonder they are not easy to use! This is the right way to set a garbage bag.
Usually when we put on the garbage bag, we usually tear off a bag directly to use, although this method is simple, but there is a problem: there is no air inside such a bag, which leads to the situation that we may not open when we put it on the trash can. If the bag cover is not good, it not only affects the use, but also easily gets your hands dirty.
To solve this problem, many people will choose to shake the bag and let the air in and make it stretch out. Then put it on the trash can. However, this does not allow the bag to fully prop up to the bottom, and there is often a situation where you can't hold the garbage. Others may press the bag with their hands, then put it on the trash can, and finally wrap the edge of the bag around the edge of the trash can, tucking it into the gap to prevent it from falling. However, this method is actually incorrect, not only does it not work well, but it can also damage the bag.
So, what should the right approach look like?
1. We're going to stretch open a garbage bag and turn it around. The purpose of this is to make it easier for us to let air into the bag. Next, we shake the bag again so that the air can fully enter the inside of the bag and allow the bag to fully open.
2. We put it on the trash can and press it with our hands to make the garbage bag completely open to ensure that there will be no bottom-up situation. In this way, when we throw out the garbage, we can throw it directly to the bottom, which saves space, is easy to apply, and does not get our hands dirty.
3. After the sleeve is set, we tighten the edge of the bag to prevent the garbage bag from slipping. If the bin has a lid, the lid can also be pressed against it to further secure the garbage bag.
In addition, we should not throw away the plastic bags we usually use for groceries, they can also be used as garbage bags. Although these bags are smaller than trash cans and can't fit all the way down, as long as we use them wisely, we can save money and be practical. For example, we can use multiple small plastic bags together, or fold them up and put them in the trash can and unfold them when needed.
What if the garbage bag is too big to hold the bottom? This is when we can use the stockings at home. Cut the stockings and tie them to the trash can so that the garbage bag doesn't slip down. This not only enables waste utilization, but also saves us money.
