Many people have the habit of waiting for the trash can to be full before emptying it, so it inevitably smells.
To overcome this situation, just drop a few drops of lemongrass essential oil on a cotton ball, then place the cotton ball at the bottom of the trash can. The result is very surprising when the smell of garbage completely disappears.
In fact, cotton has the ability to absorb moisture well, so it is a great assistant in deodorizing. In addition, this material also has the ability to retain a long-lasting fragrance. When combined with essential oils, cotton not only deodorizes but also brings a pleasant fragrance, helping to repel some types of insects.
In addition to lemongrass essential oil, you can use any favorite essential oil such as lemon, orange, mint. This method helps keep your home smelling fresh without spending much money or effort.
In addition, there are some tips to help deodorize trash cans that you can refer to.
Using vinegar and bread:Pour vinegar over the bread and place it in the trash can, close the lid and leave it overnight to remove the odor from the trash can. Dry bread also has good moisture absorption properties, while vinegar can repel harmful insects and bacteria.
Ground:Coffee grounds contain substances similar to those in activated carbon, so they can eliminate odors in trash cans.
Using lemon:Lemon is a very good deodorizing fruit. The two most popular ways to deodorize trash cans with lemon are to combine fresh lemon with vinegar or combine lemon with baking soda.
Use a fresh lemon, half a bottle of vinegar, and a small ice tray. Cut the lemon into thin slices, place them in the ice tray, and pour vinegar over them. Once the ice is frozen, place two ice cubes at the bottom of the trash can and close the lid. After one night, the unpleasant odor from the trash will disappear.
The second method can be applied when using lemon and baking soda. Mix the lemon juice and baking soda until it becomes a paste. Then use a damp cloth to wipe around the surface of the trash can both inside and out, which will help to effectively deodorize.
Old newspaper:Don’t throw away old newspapers, they are very useful. Fold or crumple them and place them at the bottom of the trash can. Old newspapers are effective in removing musty odors.
