The Purge & the Torture Test

*This post is sponsored by Glad® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Every year after school ends I run a purge through my kids bedrooms. If I’m being honest I should be doing this twice a year, but who has time for that? My son’s room is particularly horrible because he’s one of those kids that thinks he’s sneaky but isn’t actually sneaky at all. Bless his heart.

Anyway, during the purge I find things of all shapes and sizes… and A LOT OF GARBAGE. We also end up donating quite a bit from both kids rooms and always need the toughest of garbage bags to handle the torture. This year we relied on Glad ForceFlex® Plus™ Advanced Protection Trash Bags.

Easily found under the “Trash Bags” label at Walmart Glad ForceFlex® Plus™ Advanced Protection Trash Bags have:

RipGuard™ Technology to prevent rips and tears. Which comes in handy when you literally find collections of rocks and sticks scattered throughout your child’s room. It’d be funny if I was kidding.
LeakGuard® Technology featuring two-layer protection to trap liquids in the bag. I don’t know about you, but at least two people in this house (I have two kids, BTW) enjoy throwing half-eaten popsicles and juice boxes in the trash instead of the sink. Because why not? This saves me from having to scrub the inside of the built-in cabinet where the trash can lives.
Reinforced Bottom to prevent leaks and keep your can clean 😉 See above! This is also great for when the trash gets heavy with toy donations or watermelon rinds. Seriously though… why is a trash can full of watermelon rinds a million pounds heavier than an actual full-sized watermelon?!
7-day Odor Control Guarantee to neutralize food odors using Febreze® odor control. Onions and garlic topped with pickle juice? No problem.
