What is the best way to clean my outdoor garbage cans? Some of them have papers and garbage stuck to the bottom.

You can use a deck scrubber to scrape out the junk at the bottom. Then pour some cleaner inside and hose with strong flow from hose.

Thank you. Will try the deck scrubber. Is it strong enough to scrape off garbage stuck to the bottom?

Bring out a pail of boiling water and pour it in. Let sit at the bottom with soap to allow everything to loosen and soften. After letting it sit a while, scub and hose down.

Work smarter, not harder. Letting things soak in water and a bit of cleanser of your choice will soften dirt and debris and make them easier to remove.

Thank you all. Where do you turn over the garbage pails to empty all the gross stuff in it?
