Say goodbye to kitchen bin odours forever with this simple hack! 🌿 As temperatures rise, the struggle against unpleasant bin smells kicks into high gear. The secret weapon? Good old bicarbonate of soda!
According to cleaning expert Nigel Bearman, waiting until your bin is full during warm weather is a big mistake as this allows smells to build up, inviting unwanted pests into your kitchen. Instead, here’s a pro tip: sprinkle a light layer of bicarbonate of soda at the bottom of a clean bin before adding a fresh liner. This wonder powder is perfect for absorbing moisture and neutralising those pesky odours before they become a problem. And the best part? It only costs about 5p per change!
Nigel also advises emptying your kitchen bin more frequently and giving it a quick rinse with warm, soapy water every week. If you’ve got leftover fish or meat, don’t wait around for bin day—dispose of it sooner to keep those smells at bay.
Keep your kitchen smelling fresh all summer long without breaking the bank! 🏡✨
