Taking out the bins is a chore that many steer clear of for as long as possible, but one mum has shared her game-changing hack.
She says that she has found a way to speed up the process of taking the bins out in the video which she shared to her 16,400 followers on TikTok.
The trick also helps people reduce the chances of forgetting to put a new bin liner in after taking the rubbish out.
The video has been viewed over 78,000 times and has been liked nearly 5,000 times.
Some commenters were amazed by the trick, while others weren't too impressed, pointing out flaws in the bin bag hack, report the Mirror.
The mum, who posts under the username @leahitsines , explained: "I'm in a hospital room and I can't talk very loud because my daughter is sleeping. All is well, everything's fine, we're literally about to be discharged.
"But the cleaner came in and changed the bin and I went to go and put something in the bin after and I just realised they have the best hack I've ever seen. I'm sitting here thinking, 'Did I know that before, or am I just mind-blown?' "
Instead of pulling one bin liner from the roll and opening it up inside the bin, the cleaning staff simply left the whole roll at the bottom of the bin, meaning that when the top bag was full, all they would need to do is tie up the top and tear it away from the roll - with the next bag already in the bin ready to go.
Leah added: "They literally put the entire roll in here, and they just [open the top one]. You put things in there, and then when you're done, you just get the bin liner and [tear it off]. Done.
"I can't believe it! Why do we sit there and get each individual bag? Why? What's the point when you can just do that?"
Some commenters were equally as blown away by the hack.
One person said: "Another new thing I have learned from TikTok!"
While another added: "How did I not know this?!"
But some were less impressed, as they pointed out that the hack would be useless if you ever had a leak in your bag or an issue with "bin juice", as all your other bags would be ruined too.
Someone wrote: "Sounds like future bin juice issues."
As someone else posted: "Until something leaks and the whole roll gets wet."
