Trash cans, whether in homes or offices, are often overlooked when it comes to cleaning and sanitization. However, they are one of the most germ-filled areas in any space. I was recently asked what we spray on trash cans to keep them fresh and sanitized. Here’s what we do:
Our Sanitization Process
- Disinfectant Spray: We use Lysol or Brody disinfectant spray to sanitize trash cans. These products not only kill germs but also leave a fresh, clean smell behind.
- Why It’s Important: Trash cans, regardless of size, harbor bacteria, germs, and odors. Regular sanitization ensures that these germs don’t spread to other areas, keeping your environment healthier.
- Where We Apply It: This process is applied to trash cans in homes, offices, and even larger commercial spaces. Every trash can deserves attention!

Trash cans, especially those in high-traffic areas, can accumulate bacteria that may lead to unpleasant odors and even health risks. Sanitizing them regularly is a simple yet effective way to maintain a cleaner and healthier space.
Tips for Maintaining a Clean Trash Can:
- Empty trash cans daily or as needed.
