This isn't going to be a lengthy post. It doesn't take a lot of words to tell you that this stuff works.

That's the Arm & Hammer Trash & Dumpster Deodorizer.
My garbage isn't usually smelly enough that I need to use a deodorizer in the can. However, I have been eating a lot of fruit and drinking dried fruit tea infusions. The waste goes into the trash or down the garbage disposal and it can cause some serious stank.
I got this deodorizer, not really thinking it would work much better than regular baking soda. I was wrong. This works like some kind of trick. Not only does it work, but it works almost instantaneously, and - this is the best part - I only need to use about 1/16 of a teaspoon in my 13-gallon can.
For some reason, my order info shows this product as being "unscented". There is a scent - a light, fresh, "green" scent. I can only smell it when I am sprinkling the product, then it's gone.
This works so well that I wanted to try it in other ways. Now when I scrub down my sink, I sprinkle just a pinch of this into the disposal when I run it. I also put a bit into the canister of my vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dusty smell it emits when it's running. I put a little into a small mesh bag to hang over the laundry hamper I keep in the bathroom pantry. I could smell the fresh scent of the product for about 2 minutes.
This would be a good thing to control diaper pail odors. And probably could be handy to use somehow in sickrooms. I'm just saying.
My brother and his neighbor share a dumpster in between their houses so I told him about this. The dumpster doesn't usually smell but this is a just-in-case for the hot and muggy summer days.
I got this 2-pack at Amazon but, since it's an Arm & Hammer product, I'm sure it's available almost anywhere.
Peace
