Thoughtfully designed to help minimize both leaks and odors, these garbage bags provide a welcome upgrade to an otherwise frustrating kitchen chore. GH fiber scientists, kitchen pros, and at-home testers all reported that they liked using these garbage bags and plan to continue using them after testing.
WHY IT EARNED THE GH SEAL
Glad’s ForceFlex MaxStrength LeakGuard garbage bags impressed Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles, Apparel, & Paper Lab fiber scientists because the bags are designed to prevent leaks and tears while leaving behind a refreshing scent.
1. BUILT TO PREVENT LEAKS
These bags feature a unique two-layer material that’s designed to absorb many types of liquids and give extra protection against leaks. Our testers unanimously reported that this bag helped prevent leaks and drips when they took out the trash.
2. STURDY DRAWSTRINGS
In the Lab’s material strength tests, the drawstrings proved to be durable when we applied force. They also stayed secure when putting the bag in the can and when taking it out.
3. GENTLY SCENTED
Available in either lemon or fresh air scents, these bags provide a pleasant scent that continues to release over time and works to neutralize odors. Testers liked that it helped reduce garbage smells, but also noted that the scent wasn’t too strong or overpowering.
4. STRONG, STRETCHY MATERIAL
It’s built with double-sided seams and sturdy material, making it more reliable for all types of trash. “The material stretched to accommodate odd-shaped boxes or sharp corners without tearing,” shared one tester.
