Now it’s been revealed you’ve been using bin liners wrong, we show you the correct way to do it
DO you ever struggle to get bin liners in the bin? A new savvy hack may change your life.
Shannon Doherty, who posts as @athomewithshannon, uploaded a TikTok video and said people have “probably been refilling their garbage cans wrong your entire life.”
She demonstrated to cheery music how she places the bag upside down on the top, and then pushes it through to the bottom after it is secured.
This means she isn’t left struggling to fit the bag round the rim while it is dangling inside.
She added the caption: “Best LIFE HACK! So simple & saves me in my every day life!”
The hack may seem basic, but it has racked up over 8,000 likes from impressed homeowners and is going viral.
