If you're looking for a way to prevent this and get rid of unpleasant aromas, you need one affordable tool that is often found in every kitchen. OBOZREVATEL writes about it.

This magical product is baking soda, which has disinfectant properties and can prevent the growth of bacteria that cause this odour. It is also effective in eliminating unpleasant odours.

To use baking soda to get rid of odour in your bin, simply pour a few tablespoons of baking soda into the bottom of the bin. The baking soda will absorb excess moisture, kill bacteria and prevent odour.

Activated carbon has similar properties. A few tablets are enough to keep the air in the kitchen fresh.

You can also place baking soda and activated charcoal in a cloth bag and hang it under the sink. This will not only absorb unpleasant odours but also absorb excess moisture from the air, preventing mould growth. However, it should be remembered that the bags need to be replaced from time to time, the frequency depends on the humidity level in the room. As long as they look tight, it means they are functioning well, but if they become less tight, it is time to replace them with new ones.
