After that, use a thin string to tie the stuffed plastic bag tightly in place to ensure it doesn’t get displaced by the water flow. When water flows through the drain, the plastic bag will automatically open up, allowing water to escape smoothly through the gap between the bag and the inner wall of the drain.
When there is no water flow, thanks to the elasticity of the plastic bag, it will contract and adhere tightly to the inner wall of the drain, effectively preventing foul odors from escaping.
To further enhance odor prevention, you can fold the excess part of the plastic bag upward to completely cover the outer surface of the fixed bag and tie it again with the string. This creates a sealed structure that helps to block out odors more effectively, ensuring that no unpleasant smells escape from the gap between the bag and the drain wall.
With just one simple plastic bag, you can eliminate the unpleasant odors coming from the drains in your kitchen and bathroom.
However, to sustainably resolve the issue of drain odors, you need to regularly maintain and clean your drains. In addition, you should develop good living habits, avoid disposing of trash down the drain, and especially refrain from putting food residues, greasy substances, or items that can easily clog the drain. Hopefully, this article provides you with useful solutions to improve the condition of your home’s drainage system.
