Frequently Asked Questions
Will Glad ForceFlex bags rip if I throw in bones, cans, or broken glass?
No. The patented ForceFlex dual-layer stretchable technology expands around sharp edges and heavy waste, significantly reducing the risk of rips and tears.
Are these 13 gallon tall kitchen bags leak-proof enough to protect my floors?
Yes. The double side seams and reinforced bottom are designed to prevent leaks, so spills stay inside the bag and away from your floors and trash can.
Can the drawstring handle a heavy load of food scraps without breaking and dropping trash?
Yes. The durable 3-ply drawstring grips the can rim securely and is built to carry heavy loads safely to your outdoor curb or dumpster.
Is the bag strong enough to hold wet food waste and liquids without leaking?
Yes. The reinforced bottom and double seams work together to contain wet waste and liquids, reducing the risk of leaks during transport.
Will the Pine-Sol Original scent irritate anyone in my household with sensitivities?
The Pine-Sol Original scent is built in at a level designed to neutralize odors rather than overwhelm a room. If anyone has specific fragrance sensitivities, we recommend reviewing the full ingredient list on the packaging.
Are these bags safe to use in a kitchen with kids and pets around?
Yes. There is no open flame or sharp exposed edge risk, and the secure drawstring keeps the bag closed and out of reach inside the trash can.
Will the bag stay secured to the can so a curious pet cannot pull it loose?
The Grips-the-Can 3-ply drawstring is designed to hold the bag firmly to the can rim, reducing the chance of the bag being pulled off by pets or children.
Can I carry a heavy, full bag to the curb without worrying about the bottom giving out?
Yes. The reinforced bottom is built to handle heavy loads, and combined with the secure drawstring, it supports safe one-trip transport to the curb.
How does Glad ForceFlex compare to standard kitchen bags on tear strength?
Glad ForceFlex uses patented dual-layer stretchable technology that expands around sharp and heavy waste, while many standard kitchen bags use a single layer that is more prone to tearing.
Is this a better choice than reusable trash cans for households worried about spills?
Yes. Reusable cans can leak or hold odors in their seams, while Glad ForceFlex bags create a fresh, leak-resistant barrier that gets removed entirely with each change.
What if the bag rips during a cook-heavy week? Can I get a refund?
Glad stands behind the ForceFlex durability claims. If the bag fails during normal kitchen use, contact Glad customer service for assistance with the specific product.
Will the Pine-Sol scent cause any chemical reaction with the metal inside my trash can?
No. The scent is encapsulated in the bag material and is not known to react with standard stainless steel or plastic trash can interiors.
Is the bag safe to store near food prep areas without contaminating anything?
Yes. The bags are intended for kitchen use and are stored in their original packaging until use, so there is no risk of cross-contamination with your food prep space.
Are the bags BPA-free and safe for everyday kitchen use?
Glad ForceFlex kitchen bags are designed for everyday household use. For full material and safety details, refer to the packaging or the Glad website.
Can I trust these bags to hold sharp broken glass during disposal?
Yes. The ForceFlex stretchable technology is specifically designed to stretch around sharp objects like broken glass, helping contain them safely inside the bag.
How thick are these bags compared to bargain store kitchen bags?
Glad ForceFlex uses a dual-layer construction with reinforced seams and a reinforced bottom, making it notably thicker and more durable than most bargain store kitchen bags.
How do I load Glad ForceFlex 13 gallon tall kitchen bags into my trash can?
Open the box and remove a bag. Stretch it open and place it inside your 13 gallon tall kitchen trash can, then tuck the edges over the rim. The Grips-the-Can 3-ply drawstring will rest on the outside of the rim to keep the bag secure during use.
How do I tie and remove the bag when it is full?
Pull the drawstring up and away from the can to lift the bag out cleanly. Gather the top, tie a knot using the integrated drawstring, and carry it to your outdoor bin. The reinforced bottom and double seams help prevent leaks during transport.
Can I use these bags for non-kitchen trash like bathroom or office waste?
Yes. While designed for kitchen use, the 13 gallon tall size, ForceFlex strength, and leak protection make these bags suitable for any standard 13 gallon trash can in your home.
Will these 13 gallon tall bags fit my specific kitchen trash can?
These bags are made to fit standard 13 gallon tall kitchen trash cans. Measure the height and width of your can to confirm it falls within the standard 13 gallon tall dimensions before purchasing.
Are these bags compatible with simplehuman, Rubbermaid, and other major trash can brands?
Yes. The 13 gallon tall size is an industry-standard fit and works with most simplehuman, Rubbermaid, and other major kitchen trash can brands on the market.
What is included in the box when I order Glad ForceFlex Pine-Sol Original 13 gallon bags?
Each box contains 40 Glad ForceFlex 13 gallon tall kitchen trash bags with Pine-Sol Original scent. The Pack of 2 option includes two 40-count boxes for a total of 80 bags.
Are these bags safe for storing in a pantry or cabinet near food?
Yes. The bags are sealed in their original box and are safe to store in a pantry, under the sink, or in a utility closet alongside other household supplies.
Can I recycle the box the bags come in?
Yes. The outer cardboard box is recyclable in most standard paper recycling programs. The bags themselves are not recyclable and should be disposed of with regular household trash.
What is the difference between Glad ForceFlex and regular Glad kitchen bags?
Glad ForceFlex uses patented dual-layer stretchable technology that expands around sharp and heavy waste, while regular Glad kitchen bags use a single-layer construction. ForceFlex also features reinforced double seams and a reinforced bottom for added leak and tear protection.
