You know the problem. The kitchen bin is only half full, but you can already smell it when you walk into the room.
It does not necessarily mean the bin itself is dirty. Food scraps, packaging, moisture and everyday household waste can begin producing unpleasant odours while there is still plenty of room left in the bag.
Why can an indoor bin start smelling so quickly?
Indoor bins collect a mixture of waste. Even small amounts of food residue and moisture can become unpleasant over time, particularly in a warm kitchen. Opening the lid then allows the odour-laden air inside the bin to move into the room.
That leaves households with a familiar choice: put up with the smell, try to cover it with fragrances or deodorisers, or take the rubbish out before the bag is actually full.
Cleaning the bin is important — but the new rubbish can still smell
Regularly cleaning an indoor bin is good household practice, but a freshly cleaned bin cannot stop new rubbish from developing an odour. Scented liners and deodorisers may change what you smell, but they do not provide an additional physical barrier around the bin opening.
A different approach: help contain the odour at the bin
Enviro Bin Cap Indoor is designed to add another physical barrier to your existing indoor bin.
The stretch-fit cap fits over the indoor bin and beneath its existing lid. The normal lid can still be used, while the Bin Cap helps restrict the movement of odour-laden air from the rubbish inside the bin into your home.
There are no perfumes or deodorising chemicals. Rather than trying to mask an unpleasant smell after it develops, Enviro Bin Cap Indoor is designed to help contain it at the source.
Designed for everyday household bins
Enviro Bin Cap Indoor has a flexible stretch-fit design suitable for a wide range of household waste bins and nappy bins up to 120 litres.
One Indoor Bin Cap may last approximately 3 to 4 weeks, depending on soiling or damage. Replace it sooner if it becomes soiled or damaged.
A 4-pack can therefore provide approximately 12 to 16 weeks of use, depending on how each cap is used and its condition.
Why throw out a half-full bag just because it smells?
If odour is the reason you are taking a half-full rubbish bag outside, helping contain that odour may allow you to use more of the bag before it needs to be removed.
Enviro Bin Cap Indoor is a simple, chemical-free approach to a very ordinary household problem: rubbish that starts smelling before the bin is full.
Keep your indoor bin. Put a cap on it.
