To combat the awful scents your garbage is cultivating, you can make these homemade lemon and rosemary garbage disposal cubes to keep your kitchen smelling super clean and fresh. To make these DIY garbage fresheners all you need is lemon rinds, rosemary, white vinegar and an ice cube tray. The lemon rinds are roughly chopped up along with the rosemary so that they'll fit into the individual ice cube tray slots. Add vinegar instead of water to bind the rosemary and lemon together. Once these scented cubes are frozen, you can pop a few of them into your garbage bin. Watch as the vinegar, lemon and rosemary work to trap the [odorous scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zep-freshen) and replace them with refreshingly fragrant ones. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Garbage Disposal Fresheners:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative DIY solutions for keeping garbage disposals smelling clean. - **Natural Scented Cleaning Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create eco-friendly cleaning products using natural ingredients like lemon and rosemary for a fresh aroma. - **Zero-waste Kitchen Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design sustainable alternatives to reduce kitchen waste, such as using citrus compost fresheners instead of chemical-based air fresheners. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Cleaning Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative and natural cleaning products to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly home cleaning solutions. - **Kitchen Appliances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate built-in garbage disposal freshening systems in kitchen appliances to provide convenience and eliminate unpleasant odors. - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create sustainable packaging solutions for DIY garbage disposal fresheners, focusing on reducing plastic waste and promoting compostable materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Potent Toilet Freshening Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoflora-limitless-scents-rim-blocks.md) - [Home-Cleaning Citrus Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citrus-blend.md) - [Odor-Absorbing Garbage Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odorsorb-liners.md) - [Bear-Themed Fridge Deodorizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-snow-refrigerator-deodorizer.md) - [Eco-Friendly Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-guy-fridge-deodorizer.md) - [Odorless Compost Kitchen Bins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mill-kitchen-bin.md) - [Electric Food Recyclers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodcycler-eco-3.md) - [Melon-Scented Trash Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hefty-ultra-strong-with-fabuloso-watermelon-scent.md) - [Speedy Countertop Composters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-kitchen-composter.md)
