If your kitchen smells like something’s gone off even after you’ve taken the rubbish out, you’re not alone. For many households, the culprit is food scraps sitting in the bin. The smell builds up, especially in warm weather or when the bin doesn’t get emptied often.

If your kitchen smells like something’s gone off even after you’ve taken the rubbish out, you’re not alone. For many households, the culprit is food scraps sitting in the bin. The smell builds up, especially in warm weather or when the bin doesn’t get emptied often.

Why it Happens:

Most of us toss food scraps into the bin without a second thought. But as those scraps sit, they break down and start to stink. Add heat, moisture, and time, and suddenly your kitchen becomes the least inviting room in the house.

The common offenders:

  • Veggie peels
  • Uneaten leftovers
  • Meat trimmings and dairy scraps
  • Wet waste sitting in plastic bags
