Step by Step Instructions:

  1. Emptying the Bin: Begin by removing all rubbish and any liner in the bin. This step prepares the bin for a thorough cleaning.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse the bin with warm water to remove any loose debris and residues. For outdoor bins, a powerful hose works best; for indoor bins, use a bucket of warm water.
  3. Applying the Cleaner: Dissolve one cleaning tab in warm water to create a non-toxic, powerful cleaning solution. Apply this solution liberally inside the bin.
  4. Scrubbing the Bin: With a long-handled brush or sponge, scrub the inside of the bin, paying special attention to areas that tend to collect grime and residues. Don't forget to scrub the lid and handles, as these areas can harbour bacteria.
  5. Rinsing and Drying: Rinse the bin thoroughly with water to wash away the cleaning solution and loosened grime. Allow the bin to dry completely, preferably in sunlight for its natural sanitising effects, to prevent moisture build-up.

When & How Often to Clean Your Bin:

  • Signs It Needs Cleaning: Your bin needs attention when you notice unpleasant odours, visible dirt, or if it becomes a breeding ground for maggots, especially during warmer months.
  • Cleaning Frequency: To maintain hygiene and prevent issues, clean your kitchen bin weekly and outdoor rubbish bins at least once a month or as needed based on usage and seasonal temperatures.
