LIFE HACK: The genius reason you should put a cotton ball in your rubbish bin

There's nothing worse than the smell of rubbish.

And unless you're super meticulous about taking out the trash, it doesn't take long for your bin to develop a smell.

But now, we have discovered an awesome life hack - which isn't just easy, it's cheap too!

All you need to keep your garbage smelling fresh are cotton balls and essential oils.

Yep, it's that simple!

Soak a cotton ball in a scent you like, then drop it in the bottom of the bin before putting a rubbish bag in.

You can keep the cotton ball in the bottom of the bin for a couple uses too.

Citrus-based oils like lemongrass or orange can help balance odors, while tea tree and clove oils help kill bacteria.
