It's frustrating to see permanent marker scribbles or spray paint graffiti on public trash cans, but don't worry – you can often clean it up yourself. For fresh permanent marker, rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) is your best bet. Soak a cloth or cotton ball and dab the marks; they should lift away. For older or stubborn marker, try a non-gel toothpaste with baking soda or a dedicated graffiti remover. Apply, let it sit for a few minutes, and scrub with a stiff-bristled brush. For spray paint graffiti, a product like "Goof Off" or a citrus-based cleaner can be very effective. Always test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the can's finish. Wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. For heavily painted surfaces, you might need multiple applications. Remember, keeping our shared spaces clean makes the whole community look and feel better.
