Not only is it clean, but thanks to the white vinegar it is also disinfected and deodorized.

As soon as it is dry, you can put your trash can back in the kitchen without worrying about bad odors or bacteria.

And to prevent it from getting dirty too quickly, here's the trick to stop your garbage bag leaking.

Bonus tip

If your trash can has a bin inside, like mine, just use the same technique to clean both containers:the trash can and the bin inside.

And it works for all bins, plastic, metal or stainless steel and even for automatic bins.

Why does it work?

White vinegar is very acidic, with its pH between 2 and 3. The acetic acid it contains makes it a very good antibacterial.

This feature makes it very effective against bacteria that swarm in garbage cans.

In addition to being a powerful disinfectant, white vinegar is also a real odor destroyer. It perfectly eliminates bad odors.

The added washing-up liquid removes dirt or traces of grease encrusted on the walls of the bin without rubbing.

The result is that the bin comes out nickel chrome and without foul odors.
