Optimize Odor Control: Finding The Right Natural Home Compost Bin Filter

Keeping your kitchen compost bin smelling fresh requires the right filter to trap odors Natural Home offers compost bin filters specially designed to fit its stainless steel, ceramic and molded bamboo bins. With options for the 1.3G, 1.8G and 1G bin sizes, you can find the perfect filter replacement to maintain a pleasant composting environment

The Importance of Compost Bin Filters

Compost bins conveniently allow you to collect food scraps and organic waste right in your kitchen. But without a proper filter, they can start to smell within days The filters are essential to

  • Trap food odors from escaping when the lid is closed.

  • Allow airflow to circulate which helps dry out waste to deter smells.

  • Contain smells without impairing compostability. The filters are made from natural charcoal and polymers.

  • Enable you to keep collecting scraps for longer between emptying the bin. Frequent odor escapes means more frequent trips out to your compost pile.

The right filter keeps your kitchen smelling fresh for up to 4-6 months. It’s recommended to replace filters seasonally, or more often with heavy use.

Choosing the Correct Replacement Filter Size

Natural Home offers compost bin filters in three sizes to match its different bin capacities:

  • 1.3G filters fit the 7-inch wide small stainless steel bins.

  • 1.8G filters fit the large 10-inch wide stainless steel bins.

  • 1G filters fit the ceramic and molded bamboo 6-inch bins.

It’s important to select the size designed for your specific bin model. Measure your bin’s diameter before purchasing replacement filters to ensure proper fitting. The product descriptions indicate which bin models are compatible with each size.

Natural Home’s filters come in packs of two for convenience. You can simply swap out for a fresh filter when odors start to escape through the existing one. Having backups handy means you won’t be left filter-less.

Long-Lasting Odor Trapping Performance

Natural Home’s compost bin filters are specially constructed using activated charcoal and porous polymers. This combination of natural and synthetic materials provides an optimal balance of odor trapping, airflow and longevity.

The benefits of this filter composition include:

  • Active charcoal binds to and neutralizes food odors to prevent kitchen smells. It has a highly porous structure that traps odor molecules.

  • The polymer base allows adequate air circulation to keep waste drier while containing smells.

  • Filters maintain effectiveness for multiple months of regular use before needing replacement.

  • Made from compostable and sustainable ingredients to produce an eco-friendly filter.

  • Can be cut to size if needed for a perfect fitting lid.

With proper airflow, food scraps stay drier and decompose slower which also reduces odors. Critters are deterred without air tightness.

Durable Stainless Steel, Ceramic & Molded Bamboo Bins

Natural Home’s compost bins are constructed from elegant and sustainable materials to beautifully coordinate with any kitchen decor. Along with pairing perfectly with the filters, these bins feature:

  • Sleek stainless steel construction with durable steel handles. Finger print-proof coating.

  • Stylish ceramic bins in a variety of color options like cherry red and taupe grey.

  • Eco-friendly molded bamboo bins made from renewable moso bamboo.

  • Built-in charcoal filters in the ceramic and bamboo bin lids also help contain odors.

  • 1.3G and 1.8G stainless steel bins meet Commercial and Residential sanitation standards.

No matter your kitchen style, you can find a sturdy and stylish compost bin designed for easy use and odor control.

Getting the Most From Your Filters

Follow these tips to maximize the lifespan and effectiveness of your compost bin filters:

  • Empty bins frequently, at least every 2-3 days, to prevent buildup of smelly waste.

  • Check filters for breakdown and replace every 4-6 months.

  • Use compostable bags or paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

  • Layer in yard waste like leaves or sawdust to mix with food scraps.

  • Keep lids closed tightly to prevent odor leaks.
