trash can cleaning 101 🗑️

nobody likes a stinky trash or smelling yucky odors every time they walk into a room 🤢

sometimes, we can become blind by the odors in our apartment or homes, and often they can be coming straight from our trash can. that’s why, having a clean trash can can really make a difference in improving the freshness of your space, so regularly cleaning it and maintaining it, is key! 🗑️

some more recommended ways to keep your trash clean are:

🧼 washing the interior with soap and water

🧽 scrubbing the inside with a solution of water, soap, & baking soda

☀️ letting your trash can dry in the sun

🧺 putting dryer sheets at the bottom of the trash can to absorb odors & moisture

what do you do to avoid bad odors from your trash?

Maintaining a clean trash can is crucial for a fresh-smelling home. Start by emptying the can and rinsing it out with hot water. A mixture of soap and vinegar can effectively tackle stubborn stains and odor. After cleaning, allow it to dry completely in the sun to further eliminate germs and odors. For added freshness, sprinkle baking soda at the bottom of the trash can. You might also consider using scented trash bags, which can significantly reduce unpleasant smells. To enhance your cleaning routine, try placing dryer sheets or air fresheners inside the lid or clipped onto the side of the can. This not only masks odors but also absorbs moisture, helping to prevent odors from forming in the first place. Regular maintenance, such as a quick clean every couple of weeks, will keep your trash can in tip-top shape and your home smelling clean and pleasant. What other methods do you use to keep your trash can clean and odor-free?

How to deep clean your trash can 🧼

This is your sign to clean your trash can. Not just wipe it. Like really clean it. I use hypochlorous acid because it’s safe, fragrance-free, and actually kills bacteria. Sprinkle in some baking soda and you’ve got a fresh, nontoxic trash can that doesn’t smack you in the face when you walk by.

life can be stressful. we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to “do it all.” and when we don’t live up to that in our heads, we beat ourselves up. we develop negative thought patterns and lean on vices to numb. it’s easy to get discouraged and quit when you don’t see results / change right away
