The bins in which you place your garbage never seem like they need too much upkeep, right?
After all, you’re throwing away trash in sealed plastic bags, the bin is (hopefully) covered at
night, and nothing is causing damage. But on the contrary, these items can become dirty over
time, and it’s important to keep them clean and free of muck and grime in order to keep a
cleaner home. Below are a few ways you can clean your garbage cans without much effort,
but yield big results!
By Hand
The old fashioned method of cleaning by hand is probably not the most ideal, but it will
ensure a totally clean garbage can at the end. Foul smells and leaks can cause buildup
at the bottom, so it’s important to soak the inside with warm water to loosen anything that’s
built up. From here, toss on a pair of rubber gloves and begin scrubbing the areas with dish
soap or something similar. After it’s been cleaned, bring it to the curb and drain it out. Rinse
with your hose once again this time (cool water is fine) and set it to dry.
Machine Cleaning
If you own one, a power washer might be your best friend in a situation like this. The added
pressure from this device may allow you to enjoy a touchless wash. If you own a soap
attachment, it’s a great time to attach that and saturate the inside with soap. While that sits,
attach a pressure nozzle and once the soap has broken down some of the grime, you can
begin spraying. With your attachment on hand, you can enjoy cleaning the inside of your
garbage can out without having to get dirty by using your hands.
Sanitation is important when it comes to garbage. These foul odors being removed from
your can will also protect your house from bugs who look for trash as a food source. No
smell means they won’t be inclined to make their way over to your home!
