Do you have a smelly trash can in the kitchen? Joe Truini has a solution.[/caption]Having a trash can in the kitchen can be convenient, but it also can be smelly.

Reducing odors in kitchen trash can be as simple as taping a dryer sheet to the trash can liner near the top of the bag.
A scented dryer sheet will mask unpleasant odors for a week or more.

Also, consider putting newspaper at the bottom of the can and at the bottom of each new trash bag to absorb any spilled liquids.
