This Is the Only Way to Throw Away Dirty Fabrics.
The bad news is that I got rid of my son’s dirty germ tissue in the wrong way for the first half of his childhood. The good news is that a few things will change here.
When my child gets sick, he blows his nose. Lot. And this is how the end table next to our sofa usually looks like:
Then I need to decide: Am I wasting another clean napkin to protect my hands from snot while I collect the pile? Or should I go straight with my bare hands and wash my hands for the 28th time in a day?
Ahhh, but no more, thanks to a wonderful parent from our Facebook group Offspring who showed us the best way! Here’s what a cold will look like from now on:
These boxes are tied together with rubber bands, but you can also tape them together if you can’t find bands large enough to get around both of them.
Are the kids going to put every dirty napkin in an empty box? Well, my child will, because he tends to be precise in this regard. Yours may still leave an occasional crumpled fetus here or there, but it will still be an improvement.
I am not suggesting that this box be thrown away when everything is ready. It is recyclable (after you remove the plastic backing). But you can open it on one side and throw all the dirt right into the trash can as soon as the germs take control of your home.
