We won't be discovering anything new if we say that in order for the trash can not to spread unpleasant odors, it must be emptied regularly.

But sometimes the source of the unpleasant smell is not the trash can itself, but the place under the sink where it is located.

Some housewives who encounter this problem try to solve it by wiping the area with a vinegar solution.

If you have also tried this method, but for some reason it did not work for you, we advise you not to give up and try to get rid of the problem with the help of a drugstore remedy that is familiar to everyone.

As you may have already guessed, we are talking about black tablets, the packaging of which has the inscription “Activated carbon”.

Simply place a bowl with a few activated charcoal tablets next to your trash can.

The "pills" can be crushed - at your discretion.

You need to add a few drops of essential oil, such as citrus, into the bucket itself.

These simple steps will help absorb unpleasant odors and fill the air with a pleasant aroma.
