Finally, rinse thoroughly and dry in the sun to prevent moisture from forming.
Bicarbonate
Once the trash can is cleaned , we’ll look at the ingredients together to remove bad smells. The first remedy we recommend is baking soda, which is known for its odor-inhibiting effect.
So all you have to do is sprinkle a thick layer on the bottom of the container with a few spoons, then insert the new bag and you’re done. Of course, we recommend that you repeat this process at least once a week so that this remedy is always effective and also prevents the proliferation of bacteria.

Just as effective as bicarbonate is salt, which has absorbent properties and can therefore eliminate excess humidity in the home and the associated bad smells .
Therefore, as with the remedy described above, sprinkle the bottom of the can with a handful of salt and then insert the new bag. Again, we recommend that you replace the ingredient to ensure that the remedy continues to be effective.
Coffee
While salt and bicarbonate are able to neutralize bad odors, coffee powder also helps to bring a touch of perfume to the trash can thanks to its distinctive aroma . Then place the coffee grounds in a small bowl and let them dry completely. Then pour it into the bottom of the container and insert the bag.
If you have coffee beans available, you can also use them by putting them in some canvas bags or pouring them into a bowl that you then place at the bottom of the trash can. And what a scent!
lemon
After the salt, the bicarbonate and the coffee grounds, the lemon, the citrus fruit with a thousand properties, could not be missing. And as if that wasn’t enough, it has an intoxicating smell that can smell good throughout the bathroom too!
So all you have to do is take the peels of 2 already used lemons and spread them on the bottom of the container: bad smells will only remain a bad memory! In this case, we recommend replacing the peels several times a week .
Cinnamon
Ah, cinnamon: this spice is known precisely for its perfume, which can eliminate the smell of food and frying in the kitchen! Therefore, place a cinnamon stick (or several) at the bottom of the trash can before inserting the bag and bad smells will only remain a bad memory!
As if that weren’t enough, this ingredient also acts as a natural repellent , as it is poorly tolerated by insects and makes them shy away every time they try to approach your trash can!
Essential Oil
When we talk about remedies that can produce a good perfume naturally , we cannot but mention essential oils , which serve precisely to smell the house without having to resort to chemicals.
Then put a few drops of essential oil with the scent you love most on some cotton pads and then place them at the bottom of the container until the entire surface is covered. Finally put the bag on and you’re done!
Double-Bag-Trick
Finally, let’s look at a bonus trick that can prevent bad smells from forming in the trash can: the double bag trick .
To try it, all you have to do is place two bags in the bin to create a double layer that prevents the leakage of waste liquids that are responsible for bad smells. Just right?
Warnings
We recommend changing the ingredients once a week or when you feel they are no longer effective or the scent has disappeared.
