Trash cans are the most overlooked surface in the home. The exterior collects fingerprints, drips, and grease from the kitchen environment. The interior — even with a liner — accumulates residue from leaks, condensation, and liner gaps. The lid interior is the most neglected surface: it catches splatter every time something is thrown in.
Empty trash, replace liner, wipe rim.

Wiping only the exterior misses where odor originates. Odor from a trash can that has a liner is almost always coming from residue on the interior walls or lid, not the trash itself. A damp wipe of the interior surfaces and lid removes the organic residue that bacteria feed on. For kitchen trash cans, the grease-laden kitchen air also coats the exterior, so a degreaser wipe is more effective than a damp cloth alone.
