You know those times when you wake up in the morning, or when you walk in the front door, and notice that something in your apartment smells a little funny? You realize that it could be a garbage-like smell, but you recently took your trash to the dumpster, so you’re confused as to where the smell might be coming from.
We have a possible answer for you – you could be smelling your trash cans. Over time, the trash cans in your apartment get dirty and need a good cleaning. With that in mind, here’s a quick guide on how to take care of this common problem:
- Clean all the bins – Make sure that all of the trash cans in your apartment are being cleaned when they need to be. That includes the ones you may have in your kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
- Get rid of bacteria – Over time, an unwashed garbage bin can potentially become a breeding ground for bacteria. Use a good disinfectant to get rid of these gas-producing pests.
- Make a schedule – Decide how often you want to clean your trash can and then make a note of it. As long as there are no garbage spills, you can generally get away with only cleaning a garbage can once every 2 or 3 months.
