I once saw a great suggestion from the "Haley's Hints" book on storing clothes, blankets, pillows, etc. The book suggested putting the items into a large black garbage bag and then vacuuming out the air with the hose attachment of one's vacuum cleaner. It works like a charm, except for one problem...... I can't get the vacuum to stay. After one hour or so after vacuuming out the bag, the air seems to seep in and the bag returns to its original size. I try to make sure the top is securely closed by twisting the end and securing it with rubber bands. I use new, heavy guage garbage bags so I can't imagine that there are holes in them. What can be the problem? Help please.
