Unpleasant odors lurking in your home can quickly ruin your mood. While it's important to take out the trash on time, there are times when the trash itself emits an unpleasant odor. Simple washing does not always solve the problem. UAportal tells you what to do in such situations.

1. Cat litter

Put a layer of cat litter on the bottom of your trash can before inserting a bag or throwing any garbage in it. This not only helps neutralize odors but also absorbs liquids effectively.

2. Baking soda

A versatile home remedy found in almost every apartment, baking soda is a powerful odor absorber. Simply sprinkle a quarter cup of baking soda on the bottom of the trash can to eliminate unwanted odors.

3. Activated charcoal

Activated charcoal is also very effective at absorbing odors. Put a few pieces in the trash to fight stench.

4. Lemon peel

By placing lemon peel at the bottom of your trash can, you can easily eliminate unpleasant odors and fill it with a fresh citrus scent.
