π Week 38 Home Check Reminder
|
Welcome to Week 38 of the Weekly Home Check I'm not sure about you, but I always put all my trash in a bag and somehow my trash bins still get dirty! It's also been 6 months since we last did this task, so this week, itβs time to give your indoor and outdoor trash bins a good clean! ποΈ Indoor Trash Bins Your indoor trash can often be a breeding ground for bacteria and odors. I find it easiest to take my bin outside and clean with a multipurpose cleaner or a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar, then rinse with my garden hose. Here are five ways to keep your trash from getting too stinky in between cleans:
ποΈ Outdoor Trash & Recycle Bins Regular maintenance keeps your outdoor trash & recycle bins clean and pest-free. If possible, use a high-pressure hose to remove debris and loose dirt. Then clean with a long scrub brush & some soapy water.β To deter pests, spray the inside with an essential oil such as eucalyptus or peppermint. Looking for the cleaning products I've used over the past few weeks? Find all my supplies and tools linked below:
