Get Rid of Rubbish Bin Odours and Germs
As the receptacle for everything from leftover food to soiled napkins, rubbish bins are a breeding ground for harmful microorganisms. No matter how clean your kitchen is, a dirty rubbish bin can attract ants, cockroaches, rodents, and bacteria. In fact, studies show that a typical rubbish bin has over 400 bacteria per square inch. Without thorough and proper disinfection, you’re running the risk of spreading dangerous bacteria and pathogens including those that cause colds and flu, E. Coli, and Salmonella. Bacteria are among the fastest reproducing organisms in the world, doubling every four to twenty minutes! To stop the spread of illness-causing microorganisms, a weekly disinfecting routine is highly encouraged. If you throw things such as wrappers with raw meat juices and used tissues into your rubbish bin, you should disinfect your rubbish bin daily. Not to mention, rubbish bins tend to smell like, well, rubbish after a while. Regularly sanitising your bin will help eliminate foul odours in your kitchen.
