In a typical Indian household, the duty of throwing garbage is mostly either done by the lady of the house or it is given to the youngest child of the house. This is usually a very boring job. The kind of garbage that gets accumulated in the houses, if it is not taken out of the house even for a day, then the house gets filled with smelly garbage. Being responsible for household waste is not an easy task. Household waste bothers you as much as me, so let us tell you some hacks related to it today.
Oh no-no, don't remember the stinky scene by pressing your nose. Here we are going to tell you some convenient hacks that will save you both work and time. These hacks will not only reduce the smell of the house but also reduce the hassle of cleaning the dustbin.
1. Keep wet and dry waste separate
Yes, I understand this is not a hack, but it is a very effective tip. The garbage man always asks to keep wet and dry garbage separately. This is not only beneficial for him but also you. In fact, by doing this, the scope of spreading the smell and dirt in the house is greatly reduced. This method is also good for recycling.
Many things get contaminated if wet and dry waste is kept together. In such a situation, the dustbin is also dirtier. It is better that you keep wet garbage in black garbage bags and dry garbage in green garbage bags.
2. Make compost work
Making compost at home is not that difficult. All you have to do is put some garden soil in an earthen pot and keep putting your food and drink waste in it. Keep in mind that does not put polythene or any such garbage in it that you cannot compost. Keep it covered for a few days and keeps adding soil to it in between. In this way, very good compost will be made at home. There will be less garbage and the smell of the house will also be less.
3. Reuse single-use plastic
Single-use plastic like water bottles etc. can be very bad. Their waste is also high and reusing them is not good for their health. You can use them to make garden decorations and DIY plant hydration. You fill them with water, make a hole in the lid and bury the plant upside down in the soil. Whenever the soil becomes dry, water will automatically go into it.
4. Put tissue under the dustbin
This tip can prove to be very beneficial for the bathroom dustbin. The dustbin in your bathroom must have become very wet. This happens because of the bathroom steam and water. Even if you have kept a garbage bag, there will be more scope for the dustbin to get dirty. In this case, put tissue paper inside the bottom part of the dustbin. In such a situation, if the water is coming due to the steam, then the tissue will also absorb it and the dustbin will not be very dirty.
By the way, it would be better for you to use garbage bags because they are necessary to keep the dustbin clean and to throw garbage easily.
5. Reduce odour with kitty litter
If you have children or pets at home, then the kind of things that will be in the garbage can be smelly. In this case, use the dust or pebbles used in the cat's litter box. Due to this, the smell of waste gets absorbed very easily. Just as kitty litter absorbs cat urine and pottyodours, it can also reduce the smell of poop.
If you put it in the bottom of the dustbin instead of the tissue, then the problem of liquid leaking will be reduced.
