In this practical and essential daily video, Sala shares her secrets for maintaining an impeccably healthy kitchen. It reveals a complete routine, 100% natural and economical, to thoroughly clean, disinfect and permanently neutralize bad odors from kitchen trash cans.
The diagnosis: why do the trash cans get clogged?
Sala points out that even with quality trash bags, micro-leaks of liquids and condensation encourage bacterial proliferation at the bottom of the bin. Rather than masking odors with aggressive chemical sprays for the respiratory tract, she favors simple ingredients that everyone has in their cupboards.
It demonstrates step by step the synergistic action of three pillars of ecological cleaning: black degreasing soap to remove residue, white vinegar to descale and disinfect, and baking soda to chemically absorb the acidity responsible for foul odors.
The step-by-step cleaning method
The demonstration shows how to effectively scrub every corner of the tank with a dedicated brush and hot water. After careful rinsing and careful drying (a crucial step to avoid any mold), Sala reveals his favorite tip: place a bed of bicarbonate mixed with a few drops of essential oil (lemon or tea tree) and dried citrus zest at the bottom of the clean trash can.
This natural barrier absorbs residual humidity and diffuses a fresh and invigorating fragrance each time the lid is opened.
Sala’s hygiene tips
- Disinfection without toxic products: Use the combination of black soap and white vinegar for an impeccable antibacterial result.
- Long-lasting neutralization of odors: Place a layer of baking soda directly under the trash bag.
- The touch of citrus: Recycle orange and lemon peels to naturally perfume the bin.
- Recommended frequency: Carry out this major cleaning every two weeks for an impeccable culinary environment.
