There are other hurdles, explains interior designer Chris Mathias. He explains that while cooking, you have to open the cupboard door several times, which means everything gets dirty, especially if you can’t wash your hands regularly. Also, the fact that it is “hidden” increases the possibility that she will forget that it is full and that you have to change the bag.
On top of all this, putting the chest in the closet has health consequences, suggests Michael Golubev, health expert and CEO of Mold Busters. It’s just that the air circulation inside the tanks is very limited, that is, it collects more moisture. When you combine these conditions with the litter inside the cashier, the likelihood of mold developing increases dramatically.
When it is closed, the food ferments and the box easily becomes a place full of harmful bacteria and germs. Something that has health effects and creates unpleasant odors.
With that in mind, it’s best to have your trash in a larger open space with some ventilation, advises Justin Carpenter, cleaning expert and owner of Modern Maids.
It is recommended to place it by the window or in the corners of the kitchen. It is also ideal to have a lid and close properly, thus avoiding unpleasant odors.
