Household Items That We're Washing Too Much, Or Way Too Little

Clean That Trashcan

Trash bags are incredibly useful for keeping your garbage can clean and odor-free. But let’s face it—sometimes you end up with a particularly smelly load of household waste, or a bag rips, leaving your bin messy and unpleasant. When this happens, it’s essential to give your garbage can a good cleaning. After all, who wants the stench of rotting garbage lingering in their home? A quick wash with soap and water usually does the trick

For smaller bins, you can even clean them in the kitchen sink—just make sure to do the dishes first! To keep odors at bay, consider sprinkling baking soda at the bottom of the can before adding a new bag. This simple trick absorbs smells and makes cleanup easier. And don’t forget to rinse the bin regularly to prevent grime buildup. With these tips, your garbage can will stay fresh and functional, making trash day a little less daunting.
