URBAN TRASH CANS

Cleaning a grimy outdoor trash bin doesn't have to be a dreaded chore. The easiest method combines common household items with a simple process. First, take the bin to a well-ventilated area, like your driveway. Remove any loose debris. Then, use a garden hose or a pressure washer on a low setting to rinse the interior thoroughly. For the deep clean, mix a solution of hot water and a generous squirt of dish soap. Scrub every surface inside and out using a long-handled brush with stiff bristles. For stubborn stains and odors, sprinkle baking soda liberally, let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub again. For disinfecting and cutting through grease, spray or pour white vinegar over the scrubbed surfaces. Let this solution sit for another 10 minutes. Finally, give the bin a powerful final rinse with your hose until all soap and residue are gone. Tip it over to drain completely and let it air dry in the sun, which helps kill bacteria. This straightforward approach leaves your bin clean, disinfected, and odor-free.
