15 GENIUS Cleaning Tips from PROFESSIONAL HOUSEHOLD STAFF!

You’re not alone. A hotel housekeeper gave me the best trash tip a few years ago and it’s changed the way I use all the trash cans in my house. Before I throw a single piece of trash in a trash can I make sure to line the bin with two bags.

The second bag is an insurance policy. If one bag leaks or tears due to the sharp edges of a box for example you have another bag directly underneath it ready to spring into action and catch any waste or liquids.

Additionally a second bag can also come in handy if you’re filling your trash can with heavy items (after a dinner party for example). The bag can provide reinforcement to make lifting and pulling easier — and safer if you’re worried about tears or holes.
