Frequently Asked Questions
Will the OdorShield technology help contain the smell of dirty diapers in the kitchen?
Yes, OdorShield technology neutralizes odors from diapers and other messy disposables, which is especially helpful in homes where the diaper pail is near the kitchen.
Can the reinforced top handle the weight of a fully loaded diaper pail?
The 2X reinforced top and dual-layer construction are designed to support full 20-gallon loads, making them suitable for heavy diaper disposal.
Will the bag stay secured to the can so a curious child can't pull it down easily?
The Grips-The-Can drawstring anchors the bag firmly to the rim, making it more difficult to pull loose, though trash should always be kept out of children's reach.
Is the Fresh Clean scent safe to use around babies and young children?
The Febreze Fresh Clean scent is used at a low intensity to neutralize odors, and many families use these bags in homes with infants, though fragrance preferences vary.
Can I use the same bag type for snacks, diapers, and pet messes?
Yes, the dual-layer leak protection and odor control make these bags versatile enough to handle snack prep waste, diaper disposal, and pet messes in one household.
Is this a good bag for a nursery or baby room trash can?
Yes, the odor-neutralizing technology and reinforced construction make it a reliable choice for nursery waste cans and diaper pails.
Will the LeakGuard layer help if a sippy cup of milk leaks into the bag?
Yes, the LeakGuard outer layer is designed to contain liquid waste, including spilled drinks, formula, and other moisture that often ends up in family trash cans.
Can I use this for a litter box area without worrying about smells spreading?
Yes, the OdorShield technology helps contain litter box odors, and the LeakGuard layer prevents wet litter from leaking onto floors or storage areas.
Will the larger capacity help on busy family days when trash piles up fast?
Absolutely. The 50% larger size means fewer bag changes during hectic days filled with school lunches, snacks, diapers, and general family waste.
Is this bag strong enough to handle craft supplies or art project scraps?
Yes, the RipGuard inner layer resists tears from irregular items like craft paper, cardboard, and small packaging, making it a good fit for kids' project cleanup.
How do these compare to smaller diaper pail refills that cost more per bag?
These 20-gallon bags offer a larger capacity at a lower per-bag cost, and the odor control is comparable to many dedicated diaper pail refill systems.
How do these compare to using grocery bags for kitchen trash?
Grocery bags tear easily and offer no leak or odor protection. Glad MaxStrength bags are specifically engineered to handle heavy family waste with dual-layer protection.
Are these better than standard 13-gallon bags for a family of four or more?
Yes, the 20-gallon XL size is well-suited for larger families, offering 50% more capacity and stronger construction to handle higher waste volumes.
What if the bag tears while carrying out a heavy load of diapers?
The 2X reinforced top and RipGuard inner layer are specifically designed to resist tears during removal and transport, even with dense diaper loads.
What if the scent bothers my child who is sensitive to fragrances?
If your child is sensitive to scents, the Gain Original version offers a different fragrance profile, and you can also look into Glad's other product lines for unscented options.
Are these safe to use around pets who might get into the trash?
The Grips-The-Can design helps keep the bag anchored, but for curious pets, a can with a locking lid is still recommended in addition to using a strong bag.
How do I properly install these 20-gallon bags in my trash can?
Open the bag fully and drape it over the rim of your 20-gallon can. Pull the Grips-The-Can drawstring snugly around the top edge so the bag stays anchored and open during use. Tie the drawstring tightly when removing for transport.
How full should I fill the bag before changing it out?
For best results, fill to just below the reinforced top seam and tie the drawstring at that level. Overfilling past the reinforced zone increases the risk of tears during removal and transport.
Can I use these bags with a step-on or touchless trash can?
Yes, the 20-gallon size fits most standard step-on and touchless kitchen trash cans. The Grips-The-Can drawstring works with both manual and motion-sensor can designs.
Will these bags fit a 20-gallon simplehuman or other premium trash can?
Yes, the 20-gallon capacity is designed to fit standard 20-gallon kitchen cans from most major brands, including simplehuman and similar premium models.
What is included in the 80-count box?
The box contains 80 individually unused Glad ForceFlex MaxStrength XL 20-gallon kitchen trash bags in the Fresh Clean scent. No additional liners or accessories are included.
Do I need to buy anything else to start using these bags?
No, the bags are ready to use out of the box. You will need a compatible 20-gallon trash can, but no additional accessories are required.
Can these bags handle hot or warm kitchen waste like coffee grounds?
Yes, the dual-layer construction can handle warm kitchen waste such as coffee grounds and food scraps. For very hot liquids or grease, allow them to cool first to protect the bag and your plumbing.
Are these bags safe for households with septic systems?
The bags themselves are not designed to break down in septic systems. They should always be disposed of in the trash, not flushed, to avoid septic issues.
What is the difference between kitchen trash bags and contractor or yard waste bags?
Kitchen trash bags like these are designed for moderate to heavy household waste with a focus on leak and odor control. Contractor or yard waste bags are typically much larger, thicker, and built for bulky, sharp outdoor debris like broken concrete, branches, and soil.
