Freshen Your Garbage Bin — Sunbright Style

Because Every Detail Matters

At Sunbright Cleaning, we believe a pristine home is one where even your garbage bin feels fresh and inviting. It’s often overlooked—but it shouldn’t be! Our simple, effective trick ensures your bin smells clean, complements your tidy space, and gives you peace of mind.

The Natural Duo: Baking Soda + Essential Oils

We love solutions that are gentle, effective, and easy to use—just like this one. Baking soda naturally neutralises odours and eliminates lingering smells without harsh chemicals. Pair it with your favourite essential oil—like zesty lemon, crisp eucalyptus, or soothing tea tree—for a fresh, clean scent that lasts.

Here’s how to keep your kitchen or outdoor bin smelling bright:

What You’ll Need

• ½ cup baking soda

• 5–10 drops of essential oil of your choice

• A small container or breathable sachet (think coffee filter or muslin bag)

• Optional: newspaper or paper towel to catch any mess

Step-by-Step:

1. Mix the baking soda with the essential oil in your container or sachet.

2. Place it at the bottom of the garbage bin, right under the liner. If you’re using loose powder, layer it on newspaper or a paper towel to keep things tidy.

3. Refresh every 1–2 weeks, or whenever that clean fragrance fades.

Need a Deep Refresh?

If your bin is already giving off strong odors, give it the Star-Bright Sunbright treatment:

1. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.

2. Scrub using a mix of dish soap and vinegar.

3. Let it dry completely, then add your fresh sachet for an odour-free finish.

Why We Love This Trick

• Safe & natural — no harsh chemicals, so it’s perfect for homes with kids or pets.

• Simple yet effective — neutralises odours instead of just masking them.

• Personalised freshness — choose an essential oil scent that suits your home’s vibe.
