No matter how hard you try there is no way to avoid organic waste which decomposes fast and emits odours. You can have the most well designed kitchen but if it doesn’t smell good all the decorations seem less exciting. The only real way to fight odor caused by kitchen waste is by upgrading your waste management system. Cabinet trash bins are the easiest way to contain odors inside a dedicated cabinet and prevent the bad smell from spreading in the kitchen.
Apart from keeping the trash contained inside a cabinet, this waste management option comes with additional features designed specifically to fight odors. Keep reading to learn more about the features of cabinet trash bins that help control odors.
Not all kitchen waste is the culprit when it comes to producing odor. Plastics, paper, disposable cutlery, and other non organic waste produce little to no odour. But organic waste primarily food waste decomposes quickly especially in a humid environment such as inside a bin. When food waste decomposes it releases sulfur based chemicals which are a byproduct of decomposition.
So naturally there is no way to stop the decomposition process and therefore you can’t prevent the odor from developing. However you can always take steps to contain and manage odours and prevent them from spreading throughout the kitchen. As a leading trash bin manufacturer Hench Hardware has been tweaking cabinet trash bin designs to offer better odor control. We will discuss the exact features we have in our cabinet trash bins that keep the odors contained.
A cabinet trash bin is specifically designed to keep the kitchen waste out of sight in its own designated closed space. So the whole concept of cabinet trash bins is containing waste and the associated odors. However modern cabinet trash bins go a few steps further when it comes to combating odors with dedicated odor control features. Here is a list of all the features that make cabinet trash bins much more odor resistant than regular waste management solutions:
A cabinet trash bin can fully enclose the decomposing waste thanks to an added lid feature that comes with some models. A lid is designed as a fixed cover that is designed to enclose the cabinet trash bin once it is closed. So a user doesn’t have to manually remove the lid every time they want to put something in the bin. A user only has to slide the bin outwards throw the garbage in and when they slide the bin back inside the lid perfectly closes the opening and seals the odors inside.
The added lid feature combined with the already concealed location of the trash bin makes sure that the odors can be prevented easily. Since you don’t have to manually open or close the functional lid of a cabinet trash bin there is no added complexity in accessing the bin.
Cabinet trash bins have an odor control built into their structure. Even though the material of the trash bin is often overlooked it plays a key role in odor control. High-quality cabinet trash bins are made from grade eco-friendly plastic that don’t absorb odors due to their non porous nature.
The premium plastic construction of cabinet trash bins also makes them easy to clean and maintain. Since there are no pores for bacteria and waste to get stuck in all you need to do is clean them regularly to keep the odors away. Hench designs cabinet trash bins for long term usage so the quality of materials used doubles as an odor control feature by simplifying maintenance.
Cabinet trash bins have an additional multi compartment feature that segregates odor causing waste from non organic waste. This allows the user to empty out the organic waste more frequently while maintaining a less frequent emptying schedule for the other waste compartments.
Multi compartment design of cabinet trash bins is a proactive solution to annoying kitchen odors. You can empty the organic waste compartment before it even starts producing the foul smell eradicating the cause of the issue. Not to mention the compartment design keeps the odor causing waste from mixing with other types of waste keeping your recyclable waste clean. Even if a small amount of food based waste gets mixed with recyclable or non organic waste it will spread the odor across all types of waste. So you should always look for a cabinet trash bin with multiple compartments to keep your waste sorted and avoid odors.
