Mum shares hack to keep your bin smelling fresh all through the week for less than £2
IT’S hard to keep your bin from smelling bad throughout the week but luckily there are some great hacks to combat the whiff.
There’s thousands of avid cleaners on TikTok, who love sharing their tips and tricks to followers.
One person who has plenty of cleaning ideas on her page is social media user Carolina McCauley.
In a clip, Carolina showed how to clean “smarter not harder” as she showed off a few tricks.
The first tip from the cleaning whizz demonstrated how to keep your bin from smelling bad.
She recommends using toilet deodoriser gel and placing it inside the lid of the bin, which costs around £2.
Then when you open it, you’ll be greeted with the scent of the gel, instead of what’s in the rubbish.
Carolina quickly was met with comments from viewers who wanted to try the hack.
“The bin one is good to try,” one wrote.
“The toilet scent stuff you literally only need one anymore is just over powering,” another said.
However, some were sceptical about the idea, with another sharing: “The gel on the trash can. Tried it…it just dried out.”
Someone else gave a great tip in response, sharing: “Exactly what happened to my bin I use the scent boosters in the bottom, smells amazing with no drying out or sticking.”
“I put a smelly car tree in my bin lol,” another viewer suggested.

Others suggested that you keep the gel topped up with water to ensure it doesn’t dry out.
Elsewhere, Carolina gave a couple of other hacks to her followers in the same clip.
Another tip saw her put a small piece of rolled up foil in with her cutlery to avoid it being tarnished.
In the next frame, viewers could see it seemed to have worked as it came out sparkling.
Finally, she used a power scrubber in her bathroom to quickly clean up her shower – which her followers loved.
One commented: “That power scrubber looks life changing.”
“Thanks for sharing power scrubber! I’ll absolutely be doing that from now on!!” said someone else.
