Here’s why you should always leave an upside-down glass and a piece of paper in the sink before going on vacation

Why not just plug the sink?

Many people ask, “Why not just use a regular stopper?”
The truth is,  sink stoppers  aren’t always completely airtight. They can also dry out or shift slightly while you’re away, especially if the sink is slightly tilted or if there are temperature fluctuations.

The glass, turned over onto a sheet, allows for a  passive, pressureless closure , which  limits air exchange  and provides mechanical protection against intrusions.

What if you have two sinks?

No problem: simply repeat the process for each one. It’s also recommended to do this in  the bathroom  (sink, bidet), especially if you’re going away for more than 10 days. All water outlets can be affected by backflow.
