Trashcan Clean-Up Made Simple

Garbage disposal – one of our least favorite aspects of cleaning. From its collection, to its displeasing smell, chances are you are not a fan of dealing with trash.

Imagine this momentarily. You have finally mustered up the courage to take the next smelly batch of garbage outside. You gather the garbage bag quickly, securing the ends and forcefully lifting it from the garbage bin. You are overwhelmed by the scent of fermenting food, and you look inside the bin to see a pool of juices festering at the bottom of the can. Not only do you have to discard the garbage, but now you must participate in the tedious task of cleaning the trashcan!

Easy, free way to prevent food juices from collecting at the bottom of your garbage bin? Line it with newspaper! This way, if your garbage bag happens to leak while it sits, the liquid is absorbed, making cleanup less of a strenuous task.
