How to Clean a Kitchen Trash Can

Introduction

Nobody wants to think about the kitchen trash can until it's time to take it out. And we probably don't think about how clean or dirty the trash can is in general—until we notice a foul odor coming from the kitchen. Cleaning your trash can regularly will help keep bad smells away and make your kitchen feel cleaner. Follow these steps to give your trash can a shine, while keeping germs and odors at bay (not necessarily at bay from each other, but you know what I mean).

Take out the trash and liner.

First, remove the trash and liner from your kitchen trash can.

Now, take a moment to wash out both sides of the trash can with warm soapy water. Then rinse it out thoroughly and set it on an old towel to dry completely.

Once you’ve done all of this, re-insert your clean liner into your clean trash can!

Wash the empty can.

• Use warm water and a mild soap to wash the empty can.

• Scrub it with a sponge or soft cloth, then rinse well under running water before drying thoroughly with paper towels.

Dry the can well before replacing the liner.

Once you've removed the liner, dry the can well. Make sure no water is left on the metal or plastic so that it doesn't rust or develop other problems over time.

Finally, replace the liner with a new one. This will keep your trashcan looking and working like new for as long as possible!

Keeping your kitchen trash can clean will help keep your kitchen clean, too.

It’s worth noting that keeping your kitchen trash can clean will help keep your kitchen clean, too. If you’re thinking about getting into a cleaning routine but need something to get started on, this is the perfect place to start. If you keep your kitchen clean, for example, it’s much more likely that you’ll keep your kitchen trash can clean as well. And if you manage both of these tasks? Then congratulations! You have officially mastered housekeeping!
