How To Avoid Foul Odors
To avoid foul odors in the first place, make sure that you clean the kitchen top after every use. Train your pets to poop only outside or in some designated area. Whenever you chop garlic, onion, or other vegetable with a pungent smell, clean the chopping board immediately and discard the vegetable remains in the bin. Always cover your bin and clean it regularly to avoid flies and other insects from coming into your home.
