Just pulling out and putting a new garbage bag in the bin may not be enough. The container itself also requires regular cleaning, depending on where it is located and how it is used. The good news is that you don’t have to use anything special to do this. A carton of spoiled milk that we forgot about may be helpful. Instead of throwing it away, make use of its contents.
How often should you wash the trash bin? This is how you can deal with bad smell
The frequency of cleaning the waste bin may depend on the number of people and animals in the house. How often you cook also matters. It’s good to do this regularly, every month. However, sometimes you need to do it more often if the waste container starts to smell or shows stains. These are signs of a build-up of bacteria, germs and other unwanted substances that can cause unpleasant odors to spread throughout your home. Stainless steel trash bins may require a little more attention from an aesthetic standpoint.
How to clean a metal waste bin? Home trick for a shiny metal container
Waste bins made of stainless steel require special care. It is not so easy to get rid of fingerprints, smudges and stains with ordinary cleaning products. This is where expired milk comes in handy. Instead of throwing them away, we can use them wisely. Lactic acid bacteria will easily remove any dirt, leaving no unsightly streaks. To prepare the mixture you need:
- 250 ml of milk,
- half a teaspoon of salt,
- a few drops of dishwashing liquid,
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
Mix all the ingredients together and make sure each of them has dissolved. Pour the prepared preparation into a spray bottle and apply it to the dirty basket. Wipe stains and streaks with a microfiber cloth. The surface of the garbage can will shine and delight with no streaks.
