Preventing Sink Clogs: The Bag Trick

Insert the bag into the drain, letting it sit loosely so water can still flow through.

Maintenance:

Remove the bag every 1–2 weeks, rinse it, and replace the contents if using baking soda/vinegar.

Benefits

Prevents hair, food, and debris from clogging your pipes.

Reduces the need for harsh chemical drain cleaners.

Keeps your kitchen or bathroom smelling fresh.

Tips

For kitchen sinks, use a bag with small enough holes to catch tiny food particles.

For bathroom sinks or tubs, a mesh bag catches hair and soap scum effectively.

Always ensure water can still flow freely; don’t overfill the bag.
