Follow these simple steps to implement this technique:
Clean the drain: Before you begin, make sure the drain is free of visible debris. This will ensure better operation.
Prepare the bag: Take a sturdy plastic bag and adjust its size if necessary. The goal is to completely cover the drain opening.
Place the bag in the drain: Place the bag over the drain, making sure it is loose enough to allow water to pass through but retaining solid debris.
Secure the bag: Use a rubber band or tape to hold the bag in place. If you have a filter, place it over the bag for added safety and functionality.
Test the system: Turn on the faucet and check that the water is flowing properly while the remains are retained in the bag. Adjust if necessary.
Remove and discard: Once the bag has accumulated debris, carefully remove it and dispose of it. Replace it with a new one as needed.
Practical tips
Here are some tips to get the most out of this method:
Use recycled bags: To reduce environmental impact, use recycled or biodegradable bags.
Do not leave liquid residues: Although the bag will retain solid remains, avoid throwing oils or greases, as they can solidify and clog the drainage.
Change the bag frequently: Don’t wait until the bag is completely full to change it. This will prevent bad odors.
Complement with a natural cleaner: Use vinegar and baking soda to clean the drain periodically and prevent accumulations of grease or residue.
Check the flow of water: If you notice that the water is not flowing properly, check the placement of the bag and adjust it if necessary.
