Over time, trash cans become a breeding ground for bacteria, foul odors, and pests—even with regular garbage removal. Residue from food waste, liquids, and other materials can stick to the interior and lead to unsanitary conditions. Routine trash can cleaning helps eliminate harmful germs, prevent unpleasant smells, and discourage insects and rodents. It’s a quick, effective way to keep your home cleaner, safer, and more hygienic—especially during the warmer months.
