Another way to keep your kitchen smelling great is to use Hefty Ultra Strong garbage bags.  They have Arm & Hammer odor neutralizers and new, invigorating scents to help keep odors at bay. Or, if you prefer, they also offer a scent-free option.

Hefty Strong Ultra garbage bags have active tear resistant technology for better puncture resistance.  This means that they won’t tear or rip as you’re taking out the trash.  There is nothing worse than having stinky, smelly garbage spilled all over your floors — there is nothing time saving about that!

I love the citrus scented ones.  We eat a lot of eggs and in the hot, summer months egg shells in the garbage can leave a nasty odor.  But these garbage bags neutralize the funk.
