URBAN TRASH CANS

Dealing with a smelly plastic trash bin is a common urban dilemma, but fear not—it's easier to fix than you might think! The best approach combines thorough cleaning with natural deodorizers. Start by giving your bin a deep clean. Empty it completely, then scrub the interior with a mixture of warm water and dish soap. For stubborn odors, create a solution of one part white vinegar to one part water, spray it inside, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing. Vinegar is excellent at neutralizing bad smells. After cleaning, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda at the bottom of the bin. Baking soda acts as a powerful odor absorber. For ongoing freshness, consider placing a few cotton balls with a few drops of essential oil, like lemon or tea tree oil, at the bottom before you put in a new bag. This creates a pleasant scent barrier. Remember to wash your bin regularly, ideally once a month, to prevent odor buildup. With these simple steps, your urban trash bin will stay fresh and odor-free!
