Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Gloves

• A hose or pressure washer

• A scrub brush or sponge

• Dish soap or Larklean Disinfectant (recommended for deeper cleaning and deodorizing)

• Larklean Effervescent (optional)

• Peppermint oil (optional for freshness)

1. Remove all trash from the can.

2. Take the trash can outside and rinse it thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer. Focus on removing loose debris and grime.

1. Mix warm water with a few tablespoons of Larklean Disinfectant for an eco-friendly, powerful cleaning solution.

1. Rinse the trash can thoroughly to remove all soap and grime.
