🧼 Pro Tips to Keep Your Trash Cans in Pristine Shape Between Cleanings

At Pro-MTC Trash Can Cleaning, we’re proud to provide Southern Utah homeowners with premium, professional-grade cleaning that keeps bacteria, odor, and pests far from your curb. But what about the time between your scheduled cleanings?

Here are a few essential maintenance tips to help you keep your trash cans looking (and smelling) their best all year long—especially in the heat of summer.


šŸ”„ 1. Keep Lids Closed to Lock Out Heat and Pests

Leaving your lid open invites flies, maggots, rodents, and rainwater. Closed lids help trap odors and stop pests from turning your bin into a breeding ground. Plus, the more direct sunlight your can gets, the faster bacteria builds—so keeping it shaded or closed is key!


🧃 2. Double-Bag Anything Smelly or Liquid

Meat scraps, seafood, spoiled food, or greasy containers? Double-bag them. This helps reduce leaking fluids that stick to the base and seep into the pores of your plastic bin—leading to long-term odor buildup.


🧽 3. Rinse (Lightly) Between Pro-MTC Visits

While a garden hose and bleach won’t sanitize like our 180-degree pressure wash system, a light rinse after a particularly bad trash week can help prevent buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals, and never mix bleach with ammonia or other cleaners—it’s dangerous and ineffective long-term.


šŸŒ¬ļø 4. Let Your Can Dry After Trash Pickup

If possible, let your can air out before closing it for the day. Moisture breeds bacteria. Propping the lid open just a crack for a few hours post-pickup (before sunset) can help reduce odor and buildup.


šŸ“… 5. Stay Consistent with Your Pro-MTC Cleaning Plan

The best way to keep your trash cans spotless is to stick to your regular Pro-MTC service schedule. Whether you’re on our monthly, quarterly, or one-time plan, our high-pressure, high-heat sanitization removes what regular rinsing just can’t. And yes—we send you your personal before-and-after photos after every clean! šŸ™Œ


Bonus: 🧼 Why Our 180° Water System Makes the Difference

What makes our cleaning system unbeatable? It’s not just the pressure—it’s the heat. Our water reaches up to 180 degrees, opening the pores in your plastic bin and releasing odors that have been trapped for years. Combine that with our eco-friendly deodorizer, and you’ve got a can that’s not just clean—it’s Pro-MTC clean!!
