Is trash can cleaning worth it?
3 min read
Garbage can cleaning is a small recurring cost that buys back time and keeps a dirty, smelly job off your plate. Whether it is worth it comes down to how much you value not doing it yourself and how bad your cans get.
What you are paying for
You are paying for a hot water, sanitizing wash your garden hose cannot match, done on a schedule so it actually happens, with the dirty runoff handled for you. The result is cans that do not smell, do not grow mold, and do not draw pests.
When it is most worth it
It makes the most sense in hot summer months, for homes with lots of food waste, pets, or diapers, and for anyone who simply will not keep up with it by hand. A quarterly plan is the budget friendly middle ground, with monthly for cans that need more.
