Bleach Safety
- Always read the warnings and instructions.
- Wear protective gloves and clothing to protect your skin.
- Consider wearing goggles if you might splash it into your eyes.
- Make sure to have good ventilation in the area, open windows and doors if you can.
- Never mixed bleach with other cleaners. Especially bleach with toilet bowl cleaner or bleach with ammonia. Bleach and ammonia make a poisonous gas called chlorine gas.

I’m impressed by the young lad trying to earn money by providing a service that most of us don’t want to do.

[@dcgunman]

I just finished 2 of 3 trash bins an hour ago. No pressure washer and no dish soap or bleach. Sprayed Simple Green and water with sprayer with long handle scrub brush. I got most of the crap and smell out. It’s a lot of work for a 60+ year old guy. I’m sure the kid worked his butt off as well. I still have the 3rd bin left. That’ll be next week when my back has recovered. Good video. I hope the kid got paid well.

[@joelwillems4081]

Yep, simple green and as high a pressure garden hose as you can will do it just fine. Especially for the plastic ones. Let it air dry and then dump a bunch of baking soda in afterwards to absorb any lingering smells. I used to do that twice a year for the indoor garbage containers at the apartment building I managed.

[@Debbie.4263]

Great to see a young man being resourceful and hard working to earn money. Did you know there are bin liner bags large enough for these garbage bins? Once your bins are clean, use a bin liner bag with clips or an elastic band to hold the bin liner in place until garbage day, remove and set aside, tie up the bin liner bag before putting the bin out for pickup. After pick up, spray with disinfectant spray and let air in the sun, then put in a new bin liner bag. Never have a gross bin again.

That young fella did an amazing job! I would definitely hire him!!

[@GarbageTrucksofCalifornia]

I did this last summer and made about $100 cleaning a bunch of cans. My steps: 1. Pressure wash outside (wheels and lid) 2. Pressure washed the inside 3. Put soap in and do it again (if a small can I fill it up and let it sit for 5 minutes) 4. I dump it 5. Then i scrub the outside and inside with soap 6. Wash again 7. Then dump again 8. Then put a fresh small sent 9. Let it sit in the sun to dry 10. Done! Notes: I paid $5 a can and 2 for $10 and 3 for $12 I’m making the price this year higher to $10 for 1 can $15 for 2 and $20 for 3 and took some 30 minutes and no breaks for 1 can

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

I love that you put in scent. What do you use and do you buy it? Either way, you definitely need to charge more so I'm glad you're raising your prices. Thanks for sharing your story (this is Janet, the clean freak). Diana (the germaphobe) may also respond.

[@GarbageTrucksofCalifornia]

No problem! I made my own but I forgot what to put in it.. but I know I used some mint smell in it. And during the summer time garbage cans reek bad so it’s the best time to clean them. And it gets hot in California in like 90 degree whether.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Diana here. Thanks for sharing your steps. I think that is an awesome way to make some summer cash. I am glad you used your prices. Your services are valuable, garbage cans get so stinky

Bring the Outdoor Trash Can to the Garden hose area & water down the Can Inside Out , then use some Dish Washing liquid Inside Out & use a long necked Sturdy Toilet Brush & to Brush it down Outside In then water down Inside Out then add 2 Big Caps of AntiBacteria Liquid in a small pail & using small scoop to bath the Outdoor Trash Can Inside Out & let it Air Dry! ... p.s. I drilled 5 holes on the inner bottom of the Outdoor Trash Can when they were New to Drainout Rain Water when it rains! p.p.s. Always bagged our trashs before throwing them in the Outdoor Trash Can to reduced Mess & Odours! Yellow or Orange coloured Outdoor Trash Cans are more Visible to Traffic & look nicer in the neighbourhood than the drab~looking Grey/Black! 🕯

[@sherrayreed5812]

The young man was very thorough.

[@TNS17]

As a garbage can cleaner myself, I know a ton about garbage cans. Most garbage cans don’t emit odors as they are meant to trap odors. The cleaner here used too much chemicals. Scrub brushes like the ones uses here, are a great way to scratch and damage garbage cans. And doing that, can reduce trash can life. Not to mention you must be careful with what chemicals you use on the cans as they have logos for a reason, and washing the logos off can confuse garbage truck drivers.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Thank you for the insight. I appreciate your comment. My garbage cab really did stink, even if there was no garbage in it. What would YOU recommend

I clean garbage cans in the Twin Cities area, $5 for 1, $10 for 2, $15 for 3. Takes me about 5-10 minutes for 1, 10-20min for 2, and 20-30 for 3.

There was a dead kangaroo in my yard so I put it straight in the bin. It wasn't collected for 3 days .. The smell was of death was so overwhelmingly foul. The kangaroo had begun to decompose and liquify.. Thankful the garbage day came and it was emptied. The dead kangaroo was my 13th reason

A pro would know not to use Dawn and Bleach together. Will it work? Yes. Is it safe? No. Dawn (and other dishwashing liquids) even gives a safety warning saying "Do Not Mix With Bleach". You need to use a detergent that is formulated to mix safely with Bleach. Not all detergents are alike.

[@CleanFreakGermaphobe]

Actually, you're correct! Not good to mix the two.

[@RandieselDad]

It's as "safe" as bleach is by itself. It says don't mix with bleach because they don't want liability from you washing things with Dawn & Bleach and getting mad that things are discolored or using bleach on your dishes and getting sick. There's no ammonia in Dawn, it's perfectly safe to mix with regular bleach, and used by virtually every pressure washing, mold remediation, or sanitation company.

Be careful - it is illegal to dump that water in the storm sewer (your gutters) Imagine pouring bleach in a river - that's what you're doing!

[@nonamehi]

Shut up

[@drb4074]

Bleach breaks down into salt, oxygen, and water after a short period. It's actually hot harmful to the environment at all except when it's in it's chlorinated state. Which evaporates pretty quickly once exposed to air. It's definitely a harsher cleaning item than say, simple white vinegar. But it does break down.
