Super hot water and add some bleach…LOTS of bleach. Let it sit for a little while to remove all the ‘leakage stains’ and then swish it around. A great place to dump the water from the can is into a toilet.

Soaking the inside in ammonia and hot water, then letting it dry under direct sunlight works wonders. This tip also works for diaper pails/genies.

Clean trash cans by rinsing them and letting them sit in the hot sun for a day.

Take it out to the front yard and hose it down. Rub it clean with a little bleach on a rag and rinse it off. Your yard also benefit from the extra water and you wont be wasting anything. The small amount of diluted bleach wont hurt the grass.

Clean trash cans with Mr. Clean or some other good smelling cleaner and then let sit for a bit. Then after dry spray Lysol in it to help keep mold and mildew away and also put a sachet of your favorite scent to help it smell good.

Pour some Pine Sol in the bottom. Add hot water and leave the can for about 30 minutes to soak. Using a rag, rub all over the inside and outside. Rinse and wipe dry. Smells great, and is clean!

Put some laundry detergent and scrub it with a sponge in hot water and then let it dry in a sunny day (for the whole day )………
