Tired of your stinky, dirty garbage can?

Here are some helpful tips to keep those nasty smells at bay!

Sprinkling baking soda at the bottom of a trashcan will keep odors away — especially helpful if you have cans in a hot garage or porch.

If you are using trash bags, wad up old newspaper and put in the bottom of the bag–this will not only help absorb odor, but will keep the bag from leaking due to discarded liquid products.

One final tip is to regularly keep the garbage can clean. Use a solution of equal parts water and vinegar to help freshen up even the funkiest garbage can! Spray the solution all around the inside of the garbage can, wipe down and dry.

These are foolproof ways to avoid offensive garbage can odors that you can use.
