Trash Can

Germs and bacteria can linger in your trash can long after you take the trash out.

Tips for a cleaner trash can

Whether you have a little bit of time or a lot, here are some handy solutions for keeping your trash can fresh.

  • For a quick clean:

    • Place a batch of extra garbage bags at the bottom of the trash can. Take out the trash, and you've got a replacement bag waiting for you!
    • Mask odors in your trash can by placing a couple of dryer sheets (even used ones work) in the bottom. Source: RealSimple.com*
    • To disinfect, spray Clorox® Clean-Up® Cleaner with Bleach until thoroughly wet. Let stand for 5 minutes. Then rinse and wipe clean. For heavily soiled areas, a pre-cleaning is required.
