What do you use to clean inside your wheeliebin and to smell nice?

[biglips]

as mine is making me gagging atm! ive cleaned it twice using fairy washing up liquid and bleach

thanks

Jeyes fluid and they also make some powder to sprinkle in afterwards

Well we have gone to bi wekly collections, opened mine last week, to discover Maggots, boak

Cleaned the bin out with bleach.

They were back this week, so I used Jeyes Fluid, this is war.

Lakeland do a wheelie bin cleaner or deodoriser (can't remember which I'm afraid) -I had to buy some for my MIL as they don't ahve a Lakeland near them (and we don't have wheelie bins!)

How do you rinse it out etc?

Note we have hosepipe ban.

Ours was already pretty filthy when we inheirited from previous occupants and a year on now has brick dust and old banana skin slurry in teh bottom.

Used four kettle of water, and a garden broom, then took it to the side of the pavement and tipped it .

Jeyes fluid - where can i buy it from? any diy stores?

DIY or garden centres I should think

got the fluid in Tesco and the powder from a local ironmongers type shop

If it's grotty (maggots etc!) try the boiling water first. When you have rinsed the stuff out by tipping the bin on it's side, tackle it with your mop and whatever disinfectant you use on the kitchen floor, or dettol, or milton if you are using a steriliser (when you are due to change the solution, use it to clean the bin instead of pouring it down the sink). Using bin liners in your household bins keeps rubbish contained better, but something always pokes a hole and leaks any liquid out, doesn't it! If you don't like the idea of using the same mop for the kitchen floor and the bin, pick up a cheap one to keep just for the wheelie bin purpose, maybe?

there's a wheeliebin cleaning firm operating in my area. they hose and clean it all out every other week and i pay £14 for 3 months - money well spent!

use seomthing called phenalyne (sp?) works but have seen companies that do it as others have suggested.

Bleach and water very occasionally

and aspartame because apparently it kills most things....

ok ok ok..ill be honest my bin was full of maggots cos Dp went fishing last week and caught loads of mackerals so can u imagine the smell in this weather all week - i was truly gagging everytime i opened the door.......

the bin is now smelling alot better but still got the fishy gone off stench so will be out to buy the fluid

i wish we had a wheelie bin cleaning co around here but we dont but where i used to live we did and the bin came out smelling gorgeous

pay the council to do it for me during the summer which I know is terribly lazy of me but never mind !

throw some soda crystals in it.

Or essential oils! Tea tree would be good. Go easy tho' because you only need a few drops.

essential oils in a wheelie bin! the world's gone mad !!

Dettol, and lots of it.

Just sympathising with the biglips' dilemma of pongy maggoty fish odours in this heat - you poor thing! Hope you just read the suggestions posted to your dh and got HIM to sort the stink! Not funny when you have the windows open and it wafts indoors- ughhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
