How To Clean & Care Your Stainless Steel Dustbin

Nobody loves a garbage can that smells bad, is slimy, or is sticky, especially one that is intended to be elegant and shining. Its ability to resist rust and corrosion is among the reason stainless steel is indeed a popular material for a wide range of applications and environments. The disadvantage of stainless steel is that if it is not properly maintained, it defeats the whole purpose. Cleaning & preserving a stainless steel garbage can, on the other hand, is quite simple.

Ways to sanitize and clean the Stainless Steel Dustbin

• Cleaning the steel with a wet, soapy washcloth on a routine basis is one of the most effective habits to develop.
• When wiping, always clean in the line of the stainless “grain,” beginning at the peak of the trash and making the way down to the floor.
• Wipe the washcloth again to eliminate any soap residue, then continue with a wipe with a dried terry towel to complete the cleaning process if necessary.
• Using a nylon scrubbie and hot water, remove tougher debris and stains from carpets and upholstered furniture. Make sure to clean the surface thoroughly and pat it dry to avoid wet marks.
• To remove very stubborn grime and stains, combine a mixture of baking soda and liquid dish soap & gently scrape the surface with a nylon scrub and an old toothbrush to remove the resulting residue. If any stains persist, use undiluted vinegar to gently clean them away with a soft brush once or twice more.
• If your stainless steel garbage cans have scratches & discoloration, you can clean them with stainless steel cleansers that are specifically designed to help prevent more damage, rust, & corrosion from occurring.

And keep in mind:

• Use of chlorine bleach or any other product containing chloride is strictly prohibited.
• Abrasive cleansers should not be used on polished stainless steel.
• If a stainless steel plate is not cool to the touch, it should not be cleaned.
• It is not recommended to use gritty, unclean, or extremely hard water because it may leave stains or brownish spots on your clothes.
• You may wish to rub your devices with stainless steel cleaner, lemon oil, or even a silicone-based spray on a regular basis to keep them looking glossy. Spray the polish in the grain direction with a lint-free cloth, then buff & dry with some other lint-free cloth, as you did before.

How to clean stainless steel trash can from inside?

Every week, drain the contents and wipe or scrub them with hot soapy water until the water runs clear. Steel wool, polisher, bleach, salts, and acids should not be used.

Extra messes can be cleaned up with a scrubbing pad or a scrub brush if necessary. Additionally, you might plan on soaking the base of the can in luke warm water for at least 15 to make absolutely certain that everything is completely clean.

Allow to dry in the sun or with a towel after wiping off excess moisture.
