Today we seem to be in the middle of a wave of “recipes for successful viral posts”! \ud83d\ude09 But I get it: With the heat, the kitchen trash can quickly becomes a ticking time bomb if you’re not careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I can’t see your comments, I suspect my mom’s trick involves one of these three miracle cures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “absorbent” trick at the bottom (baking soda)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a classic. Baking soda is excellent at neutralizing odors (it doesn’t mask them, but absorbs them). Mom’s method: Simply put some baking soda directly into the bottom of a clean trash can (under the trash bag) or directly into a new trash bag. It absorbs the moisture and that typical summer smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scented Cotton Balls (Essential Oils)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If Mom wants the trash can to smell fresh right away, she can use this trick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mom’s method: Put a few drops of lemon, peppermint, or eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and place it under a plastic bag in the trash can. The smells won’t spread throughout the kitchen, and insects (like fruit flies) hate the scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old Newspapers (to Prevent Overflows)
Sometimes the problem isn’t the trash itself, but the liquid that leaks from a faulty trash bag and settles at the bottom of the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mom’s method: Place a few sheets of old newspaper in the trash can or directly in the trash bag. They absorb the liquid and prevent unpleasant odors from developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One more tip: If you have leftover meat or fish in the trash and it’s 30\u00b0C (86\u00b0F) outside, put it in a freezer bag and freeze it until garbage collection day. It sounds strange, but you won’t notice any smells in the kitchen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did I get it? Or is Mom’s secret something else entirely, like coffee grounds, for example?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
