And to prevent it from getting dirty too quickly, here is the trick to prevent your trash bag from leaking.
Bonus tip
If your trash can has a bin inside, like mine, just use the same technique to clean both containers: the bin 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 particularity makes it very effective against the bacteria which abound in the trash 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 free from foul odors.
