Of all the sources of bad odor in the kitchen, the garbage can is the most unpleasant. Leave it out for a few extra hours and even a small handful of organic matter becomes a source of stench. Getting rid of it by simply emptying the bucket may not be so easy.

OBOZREVATEL tells how to avoid the appearance of unpleasant odor from the trash can. This method will not just mask the problem, but will prevent its occurrence. You will need only one simple inexpensive remedy, which is available in almost every kitchen.

Activated charcoal also has similar properties. A few tablets will be enough to keep the air in the kitchen fresh.

Both baking soda and charcoal can also be hung in a canvas bag under the sink. So they will not only absorb odors, but also capture excess moisture from the air.
