How do odor neutralizing trash bags work?

579 views

The bags say that the “neutralizer fights nasty odors to keep your kitchen smelling fresh”.

But if I have some disgusting, decaying trash in the pail that is continuously giving off disgusting, decaying odors; how could anything neutralize that? Does the “neutralizer” release into the air and just eat up the disgusting smells? And if that’s so, should humans be breathing that? Or is it just like air freshener which is just one smell on top of another?

I’m pretty sure it’s just an air freshener and in my experience they suck. Nappy bags are a great example. It’s just a super string smell on top of another super strong smell and it doesn’t work.

Putting abit of salt in the bottom of the trash bag works better imo because it soaks up the liquid which often gives off the rancid odours. Not perfect tho. Trash just smells *shrugs*
