Have you ever cleaned your trash can? Many people don’t think to clean their trash can because, let’s be honest, that’s where the trash goes, it’s supposed to be dirty right? However, this is actually not true at all. Think about how many times you touch your trash can, and how much bacteria from the dirty trash can is being transferred to your hands, and then on to whatever else you touch after that!

But, how often should you clean your trash can? No worries if you don’t know the answer! Mr. Clean Can is here to answer that question for you!

How Often Should You Clean Your Trash Can?

So, you know you need to clean your trash can(s), but how often should you be doing this? Well, for starters, something to remember is that bacteria are among the fastest growing organisms in the world. Bacteria multiply and grow every four to twenty minutes. If that doesn’t make you want to run to clean your trash can now, we don’t know what will! Find out exactly how much bacteria is living in your trash can — the numbers are alarming.

At Clean Cans, we recommend having your can(s) cleaned once a month. By “clean”, we don’t mean just grab a hose and spray your can — we mean either having it professionally cleaned, or cleaning it yourself with environmentally friendly cleaning agents. Here’s why professional high-pressure washing makes a real difference.
