The article emphasizes the importance of deep cleaning trash cans as part of spring cleaning. It details a step-by-step process for cleaning both the trash bins and the surrounding area to eliminate lingering odors. The steps include emptying the bins, scrubbing them, and disinfecting the trash can's interior and exterior. It also recommends ongoing maintenance, such as using baking soda to manage odors. Additionally, this cleaning task is a part of Apartment Therapy's seasonal Cure Program.
Even if you've cleaned a room of all visible dirt and grime, it can still smell (and feel) dirty if there's a hidden odor lingering.
Before you can clean them, you'll want to first remove any trash and recycling inside.
To keep your trash can from being a smelly and germy mess, consider disinfecting it regularly and lining the bottom with baking soda.
The Cure Program is a tradition here at Apartment Therapy - it happens every January, April, and September.
