How professional garbage can cleaning works
3 min read
Professional can cleaning is not just a rinse. It uses equipment and a process built to sanitize the can and contain the mess, on a schedule so you never have to think about it. Here is what happens.
Timed to your collection day
The cleaning is scheduled for the day your cans are emptied, so they are already at the curb and empty when the crew arrives. There is nothing for you to set out or be home for.
Hot water and high pressure
Commercial systems wash with water far hotter than a household tap and at a pressure a garden hose cannot match. That combination lifts baked on residue out of the scratches and corners where it hides and where odor comes from. A biodegradable sanitizing solution then kills the bacteria left behind.
Contained runoff and a clean finish
The dirty water is captured during the wash instead of running into the gutter or a storm drain, which is both better for the environment and required in many areas. The cans are left to air dry and go back fresh.
